    Excellent Atomic Age sci fi

    Kronos is slightly different from other 1950's/Atomic age sci fi's as the 'monster' that threatens the world in this one is a massive robot, Kronos. This was released on video in America as part of the excellent Science Fiction Gold collection, of which I have a copy.

    A giant object crashes into the ocean and turns out to be a flying saucer. Scientists are sent to investigate, but one of them gets possessed by an alien and starts acting strange. At the same time, something strange rises out of the ocean and turns out to be a giant robot, Kronos. Two of the scientists land on top of it by helicopter to examine it. It then starts going on the rampage, destroying everything in its path. A nuclear bomb is dropped on it to try to destroy it, but this makes things worse as Kronos uses nuclear energy to get stronger. A method is found to destroy it in the end though and turns out to be a success.

    For a low budget movie, the special effects are quite good and the music score is rather creepy.

    The movies stars 50's sci fi regulars Jeff Morrow (This Island Earth), Morris Ankrum (Invaders From Mars), John Emery (Rocketship XM), Robert Shayne (Teenage Caveman) and Morrow's love interest is played by Barbara Lawrence. Morrow, Ankrum and Shayne also appeared together in The Giant Claw, made the same year as Kronos, 1957.

    This movie is a must for fans of 1950's sci fi, like me.

    Rating: 3 and a half stars out of 5.

    Energy Crisis-- 50's Style

    Speaking of an energy crisis— if that energy-sucking alien from outer space had had its way, we'd have been using hand-crank generators back in 1957. Good thing Jeff Morrow (Dr. Gaskell) was around in those days. His strong-jaw cleverness defeated a lot of alien plots— The Creature Walks Among Us (1956), The Giant Claw (1957). Here, he figures out how to zap the zapper, after it stomps all over the Southwest sucking up energy. And he does it in a way that makes all the nonsense seem believable. Should be a place in sci-fi heaven for actor stalwarts like him. Ditto, the great Morris Ankrum (Dr. Stern). No alien epic of the 50's would be complete without his general-president-doctor-professor, or a thousand other expert authority roles. Okay, my hormones require also mentioning Barbara Lawrence who really looks good in a swim suit, even if she hasn't much to do except distract Morrow and a few thousand boozy guys like me at those long ago drive-in's.

    Actually, this is a pretty good enemies-from-outer-space flick. Special effects are mostly convincing even if the monster resembles a Lego Land creation, while the smoking-debris final frame looks like a gum wrapper in an ashtray. Director Neumann had an interesting, if erratic, career, piloting such sci-fi classics as Rocketship X-M (1950) and The Fly (1958) and such turkeys as Mohawk (1956) and Son of Ali Baba (1952). I guess he needed something imaginative like science fiction. Anyway, the movie's smoothly done with a few chills and a lot of good 50's fun.

    An Underrated Classic

    This film is a great piece of science fiction. I especially loved the fact that every time that Kronos is attacked it seemed to get stronger. You also get good comic relief from George O'Hanlon, better known to most people as the voice of George Jetson.

    Great idea -- but flawed execution (sad to say).

    Scientist John Emory (`Rocketship X-M' ) is possessed by an alien intelligence which foces him to provide information for invaders who are en route to Earth in a huge spacecraft. Astronomer Jeff Morrow (`This Island Earth') spots the approaching ship through his telescope, but he thinks it's an asteroid on a collision course with Earth (never mind the fact that the image we see through the telescope is obviously a saucer-shaped object that zigs and zags insanely).

    The spacecraft splashes down off the coast of Mexico, and the next morning `Kronos' is standing on the beach -- a giant, rectangular robot with four piston-like legs. Kronos begins it's destructive march across the country, draining power from everything it encounters (including an atom bomb which the Air Force drops on it. Impressive scene). Morris Ankrum makes a welcome appearance as a psychiatrist (insteand of a general, for a change).

    The plot has an interesting basic concept, but the script is plagued by scientific inaccuracies and unintentionally funny scenes. Jeff Morrow and fellow scientist George O'Hanlon (the voice of George Jetson) make casual comments about `minor shifts' in the orbit of the approaching asteroid -- even though what they (and the audience) see in their telescope is a wildly zig-zagging spaceship. Morris Ankrum is electrocuted when John Emory throws him against a protective fence that surrounds a high-voltage transformer ( Wait a second -- Ankrum is electrocuted by a PROTECTIVE FENCE?).

    Despite the embarassing goof-ups, `Kronos' is loaded with special effects by FX wizards Jack Rabin, Irving Block, and Louis DeWitt, who are also billed as associate producers.

    One of the best movies ever made

    Yep, it's black & white and low budget but the film has great ideas and is executed incredibly well for the small amount of money they had to work with. The score by Bert Shefter and Paul Sawtell is probably the best the duo ever wrote. In fact, the title theme was so good it was re-worked for IT, THE TERROR FROM OUTER SPACE. Some people have said they think that cartoon animation was used for walking shots of KRONOS. I think it is stop-motion model animation, especially since Gene Warren is one of those credited for special effects and stop-motion was his specialty. Regardless of how it was achieved, KRONOS is about as much fun as they get. The special effects, while dated-looking now were as good as anything else you would see at the time it was released. I love this film which fortunately, has been preserved on an excellent widescreen DVD. The film has an enduring quality about it and never ceases to entertain me no matter how many times I see it. If you just like to have a plain old good time watching a movie, then I highly recommend KRONOS.

    • Wissenswertes
      After a string of highly successful big budget science fiction films throughout the 1960s, Twentieth Century Fox considered remaking this film in the early 1970s in response to the energy crisis. The project was not green-lighted and, by the end of that decade, accepted an offer from Wade Williams to buy the film and all rights. This film is now part of the "Wade Williams Collection."
