      Mark R. Leeper Mark Leeper's Reviews From a distance KRONOS looks like a fairly spectacular Earth invasion film. Seen individually each visual effect seems to give up its secrets quite readily. Rated: 7/10 Aug 3, 2018 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Dull so-so sci-fi film. Rated: C+ May 26, 2011 Full Review Steve Crum Video-Reviewmaster.com Interesting, original sci-fi premise of giant, metallic walker. Rated: 3/5 Jun 7, 2007 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Aug 8, 2005 Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena Os efeitos visuais so pavorosos, os personagens se resumem a esteretipos, o roteiro pssimo e o 'monstro espacial' um dos mais ridculos j criados pelas fices B. Rated: 1/5 Jul 25, 2005 Full Review Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Odd, intriguing sci-fi film doesn't entirely work, but holds the interest.

      Blobbo X Impressively scary to little kids on b&w tv in 1957. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/23 Full Review stephen b I love the clean geometric, almost crystalline form of the gigantic machine. While the story might have more holes than Swiss cheese. The design of the device was wonderful and powerful. A childhood favorite. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review paul l Strange Bauhaus Robot threatens Mexico and LA.. A lot of SOW, Sense of Wonder in this letterboxed B&W film.. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review william k Imaginative, but basically mediocre sci-fi invasion drama is marred by wooden performances, outdated special effects, silly science and even sillier conclusion. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A good, if thin, story, a bit ahead of it's time. The actors did a decent job with thinly sketched characters. You need to turn up your "suspension of disbelief" to deal with the special effects. If you can enjoy older films with poor ( by today's standards ) effects. You can enjoy this flick for what it is. Note George "George Jetson" O'Hanlon as Dr. Arnold Culver and Morris Ankrum as Dr. Albert Stern. Ankum a 1950s sci-fi staple. One wonders if it also inspired, to a certain extent Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Better than average 50's sci-fi. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
