Title: Darn, I'm not 6 years old any more
Product review: I absolutely adored this movie when I first saw it at the tender age of six. Blah-blah-blah-MONSTER!-blah-blah-blah-ROBOT! Well, I just saw it again at the age of 49 and it hasn't changed a bit. But I have.There are things here to love. The basic story is fascinating. The ecology movement is strongly foreshadowed. And much of the art design is gorgeous. Even some of the effects are beautiful. But the direction is terrible. The indoor sets are grotesque and stupid. The acting laughable. Most of the effects, especially cel animation, are abominable. Worst of all is the injection of Hollywood yuck-em-up laugh lines throughout the script. Not all of them intentional -- how shall I ever forget our romantic lead playfully imploring his wife-to-be, "Can you respect the guy who pulled the biggest scientific boner of all time"?RIP, Kronos and my childhood.
