Juan O I first saw Kronos as a kid of 12 or 13 in the 60s. While it didn't really scare me, it was a cool sci-fi movie with this towering robot sucking the Earth dry of energy. I'd seen Jeff Morrow before being a sci-fi nut at that age. Movies like This Island Earth, the Giant Claw, the Creature Walks among us and more I guess made me a fan of his. I have a copy of Kronos on 8 Track that I just couldn't throw away. Anyway it's not a dull movie at all, with the head scientist getting possessed right off the bat and the Robot emerging from the sea in Mexico and starting to ravage the Earth. And it has some impressive special effects for the early fifties. I guarantee you will like it if you give it a chance.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  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 5/5 Stars •  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Full Review william k Imaginative, but basically mediocre sci-fi invasion drama is marred by wooden performances, outdated special effects, silly science and even sillier conclusion.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 2.5/5 Stars •  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 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
