Review of Kronos

Kronos (1957)
7/10
Not As Bad As I Remembered
5 June 2002
I just bought this thing on DVD as the price finally got down to a reasonable level and watched it last night. The thing I remembered most from seeing the movie when I was a kid was the cheesy visual effect of Kronos moving. Sure enough, those are still as bad as I remembered however the rest of the movie is better than memory would have me believe.

Sure there are plot holes, questionable science and less than stellar writing, but all B Grade 1950's sci-fi drive-in special movies suffer from this malady. Compared to the rest of the genre, Kronos is one of the better offerings. It isn't _The Day The Earth Stood Still_, but then again, that is hardly B Grade.

So if you like B Grade 50's sci-fi, check it out. You won't be disappointed. Just check your logic at the door! '-)
