GREAT FUN! 
2007-06-05
I loved this movie as a kid when I saw it at the old Viers Mill theater in Rockville, Maryland. (the theater is not a porno house).
Wildly inventive, unique B movie that successfully exploits atomic age paranoia. The robot, Kronos, is fantastic in its menacing simplicity and beautiful art deco design. I can't to this day understand why it was never made into a toy.
Other that the robot iself, the unintentional humor is reason enough to buy this flick. Kronos has it all! Dreadful acting, spice rack and wagon wheel "computers" that are not even lit (!), hatchet cinematography, leather jackets that say "lab center" on the back like a bowling club, cockpits that don't match the airplanes, perfectly cheesy animation, I could go on and on. I was particularly struck by the "evacuation" of L.A. (?): on a highway leading out of the city, the traffic is more or less equal on both sides of the road!!
A delicious treat of a movie that has the power to make you wet your pants if you don't take it seriously.
great flick 2007-04-24
I remember seeing this movie as a kid in a kiddie matinee, crowded with kids at the long gone Fruitvale Theatre in Oakland. Great Flick!!! At that time, it was state of the art, and a thrilling plot. Bought this DVD and after not seeing it in over 30 years, it actually is a well made film!!!! The thought of a black box that grows peg legs, walking around depleting the earth of its electrical supply and destroying everything in sight is pure camp and fun!!! It is good to see this movie out again!
Kronos - the ravager of worlds,

A lonely traveler is out in the dessert (looks like the same place that many great sci-fi movies were made) in his 50's pickup when he spots a strange light. Meanwhile back at the laboratory an unusual meteor is being tracked on its way to earth. What do they have in common?
The Dr. Leslie Gaskell (Jeff Morrow) suspects that there is some nefarious plot from outer space. They could be right. But can he prove it?
This movie is missing the front-end dialog familiar with the classics of the era. They just used the word Kronos because they must have thought it sounded nifty like the giant, this of course is misleading as it makes you think it has something to do with time. There is a love interest between Gaskell (Jeff Morrow) and Vera Hunter (Barbara Lawrence). A fun side interest was looking at al the fancy scientific equipment circa 50's concept. The menacing device is hockey may have had too small of a budget.

For the day, this was an interesting and well filmed production. The DVD quality allows for a great deal of detail not seen in the televised versions, even if the televised ones were uncut.
The science is 1950's.
Look for George O'Hanlon (voice of George Jetson) as the computer specialist. (How fitting.)
The beach scene is interesting, but I can't believe Barbara Lawrence changed into a bathing suit 3 feet from Jeff Morrow and he never NOTICED!

I had been looking for that movie for a very long time to add to my collection of 50's Sci Fi pictures.

If you want a movie with a lot of cool special effects, this is NOT the movie for you. However, if you appreciate classic Sci Fi, and a decent story line, I recommend. I am biased because I like all of them, no matter how cheezy or bad. This movie does have several laughable scenes, when the "robot" starts "walking" around... You will chuckle too, I think. My overall rating...
Fairly Bad but worth a look.
Movie trivia 2008-03-24
I remember watching this movie back in the 60's. I am not sure if a lot of you realize this but when you watch the movie The Incredibles, where Mr. Incredible finds the super hero Glazer in the underwater cave and on the wall is the name carved KRONOS and later on the family fights this black box of metal. It's ironic but that is to close to call a coincidence. I think someone from Disney or Pixar saw the orginial KRONOS, what do you think? Think they knew this and had permission to use the name? Still Kronos was a great SciFi movie!

Scenery was fake looking but one has to consider the technology back in the 50's. It did remind me of my younger days watching science fiction and I enjoyed that.

It's a good sci-fi movie. Not the best but, decent. Campy would be a good word. It was fun to see a battery going around and soaking up energy. Be nice if we had one.
One of the best old B type movies 2007-08-07
A classic in its own right. Very imaginative with several plots just like the old days.
