		Considering the low budget on the film, the effects are as good as anything featured in any of the bigger-budgeted studio films of the fifties.
		As it is, KRONOS is one of the few SF films of the era in which nuclear weapons are shown to only to be virtually impotent in dealing with the menace, but only make it stronger.
