      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 #26 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Before WSR, there was a 4:3 picture tube. After WSR, there is a nice 65 inch widescreen rear projection TV. However, it's only a beginning, because WSR started a dream. The reality looks crisper and clearer now, even the sound is more precise and enveloping. Widescreen Review: P5/S5, one's critic’s composite: 5. Thank you, WSR. Keep up the excellent work!
