      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Fans of 1950s-era monster-from-outer-space movies rejoice! Kronos will satisfy even the most discriminating viewer of this dreck...I mean science fiction classic. While atomic research scientists are being taken over by hostile mind-control devices from an orbiting space ship, a gigantic (dime-sized) flying saucer crash-lands on earth and from it emerges Kronos, a giant metal monster so unpenetratable it can withstand a direct hit by a hydrogen bomb! Remember to watch the included theatrical trailer

    DVD Picture:
    The black-and-white 2.35:1 DVD is not anamorphically enhanced, and exhibits nice gray scale quality that centers on a newspaper gray. Images can be fairly sharp, but are often soft and smeared. Aliasing problems, moir

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #57 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    WSR is the ONLY magazine, let alone A/V magazine I read. The insightful information about current and impending technological advancements allow me to make appropriate decisions about equipment purchases. WSR gives me the straight goods on which equipment to buy for current AND future use!
