[DVD Details]
 
 
  • Scientists at a "Top Secret" atomic research laboratory are taken over by strange fantastic control devices launched from an orbiting space ship inhabited by a hostile super-intelligence from beyond the stars. Simultaneously, a gigantic flying saucer crashes in the Gulf of Mexico and Kronos, a giant metallic monolith monster, emerges. Unstoppable, it slashes across the countryside, draining the earth of all its electrical energy and beaming it into space. Kronos, a weapon so perfect in design it absorbs a direct hit by a Hydrogen bomb and becomes that much more powerful! Atomic age excitement! Atomic age thrills! All in out-of-this-world "Regalscope" format for the first time on DVD.

    Os efeitos visuais são pavorosos, os personagens se resumem a estereótipos, o roteiro é péssimo e o ‘monstro espacial’ é um dos mais ridículos já criados pelas ficções B.

    Odd, intriguing sci-fi film doesn't entirely work, but holds the interest.
