AKA Kronos: Destroyer of the Universe, Kronos: Ravager of Planets



1957, Directed by Kurt Neumann

A vanguard of sudden death! Science fiction’s biggest thrill sensation! A busload of excessive hyperbole!

So then - A giant cartoon obelisk (seemingly made out of stealth Lego) comes out of a UFO and starts draining the world’s energy. I wonder if there’s a metaphor for communism in there somewhere, as movies from the late fifties were rife with such things.

I have a sneaking suspicion that this may be a more serious science fiction film than the trailer would have us believe. I wouldn’t put any money on it, though.

Favourite bit: “Emotional Assault” - Oh, come on.
