A.I. Assault (2006)

Wonderful Movie

Powerful

Best movie ever!

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Jim Wynorski! I love the man. There's just no director who can so rip off his own movies like Wynorski can! Utter genius! I applaud him for that! This time no stock footage from his previous films, but a script that's almost exactly the same as the one he used for "The Curse Of The Komodo" (2004). Only, you replace the Komodos by... giant robots with tentacle-legs and a whole arsenal of various deadly weapons. I loved it. And you can actually take "Shockwave (aka A.I. Assault)" a little bit more seriously than the "Komodo" one. Well,... maybe you can't, but what the hell. It's total campy, implausible, sci-fi B-drivel-entertainment. And I can't believe I'm saying this, but the CG-effects are actually pretty decent. Well, maybe not all that decent, but whatever. Even the killings are fun to watch. And Tim Thomerson has absolutely nothing to do in this film, except for briefing some soldiers and talking over the phone. Oh well, I might as well admit it: I had my fun with this one. Thank you, Jim. Next time put some naked tits in it, will you?

It actually gives you the illusion that the dialog isn't completely under-developed. I actually didn't find the acting to be terrible, if they were given some decent lines, well actually if this movie was completely re-written, it would have been a hell of a lot better.The special effects were entertaining, I'm sure the film crew were on a limited budget, and I give them props for what they managed to squeeze from I'm guessing, an already dry lemon. Well aside from the plane scene... But then again, nothing can be made perfect. If you rent this movie, you should expect it not to be worth you're money, because there's a lot of other sci-fi movies out there. But if you you don't care about a measly dollar, then get it out, for a laugh at least. ;)

Another made-for-Tele movie which is completely horrible. There is barely any plot, the acting, writing, and of course the god-awful directing of today's worst director and Ed Wood impersonator, Jim Wynorski, who, when not making terrible plot less porn movies with hideous women, is making crappy straight to video or Sci-fi "original" movies. Basically this is a bad rip-off of War of the worlds, and to top it all off, it's another failed attempt of a Sci-fi original movie. If Sci-fi continually pulls bad ideas out of their ass with overtones of someone Else's' films, then the horror business if being dug to an early grave. Which is sad because I am a horror filmmaker myself of what one may call 'b-flicks' but when I see these computer-generated bloody bull-crap, it makes me want to throw up. If this movie comes on the Tele again, kill yourself, it will make you hate your remaining life.

This movie was identical to the Curse of the Komodo (http://imdb.com/title/tt0346811/), just change giant Komodo dragons with robots and right down to the helicopter with bank robbers and a race to defeat the robots and get off the island before it's nuked (but no Glori-Anne Gilbert boobage). There was even a brief, weird zombie-like scene. Coincidence? Nope. Both were directed by Jim Wynorski (http://imdb.com/name/nm0691061/).The effects weren't bad, but they never developed the plot thread that the robots got smarter the longer they were active. The intelligence level seemed pretty unchanged throughout the movie.Verdict: 1 robot tentacle out of 5
