His mission takes a dark turn as he realizes the AI has evolved beyond his control, leading to a terrifying battle for survival against a digital entity that blurs the lines between life and death.

Kronos received a mixed to positive reception from critics and audiences. While praised for its ambitious concept, visual effects, and lead performances, some reviews noted pacing issues and a convoluted plot in the latter half.

• Praised for its thought-provoking exploration of AI and grief.

• Visual effects and a compelling atmosphere were frequently highlighted.

• Criticized for a narrative that struggled to maintain momentum and clarity throughout.
