Editorial Review:
When a plane carrying a pair of top secret military robots crashes on a deserted Pacific island a team of Navy SEALS must go in find them and try to "turn them off." But that's not so easy! The Shock Wave robots were originally built as the next generation of Mars Rovers but were so successfully designed that they were quickly reengineered to replace the Army's infantry as the first wave of attack when trying to control hostile territories and root out terrorists wherever they may be. An armor-plated walking arsenal each unit is equipped with sophisticated lasers guidance and weapons systems advanced locomotion and terrain maneuverability and state-of-the-art artificial intelligence technology. The longer they're on the smarter they get. Now it's up to the specially selected Navy SEAL unit armed with the latest military prototype particle canons specifically designed to destroy band-wired robots to contain the threat and salvage any of the technology that they can. But the robots have grown too smart and they've figured out how to dismantle the guns leaving our team helpless against this mechanical onslaught. With time quickly running out this team must figure out how to outwit and deactivate the machines before they become the new dominant species on Earth.System Requirements:Run Time: 94 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR Rating: R UPC: 031398204077 Manufacturer No: 20407

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Better Sci-Fi Channel Better.
An entertaining film with many cool tweaks and loads of defaults. The ci-Fi Channle has finaly released a "decent" film with just about average CGI and acting. better than any of thier other films. Fun war of the Worlds meets Terminator flick. The story is a downed plane crasheds on an island carrying two super smart war machines bent on leaving the island and causing major damage in a populated area. A team of Navy Seals are sent to stop the machines and return them to the project headquarters for ... Read More
Rating:  - So bad it's good as camp
After seeing the cast and all the Star Trek actors involved, I was shocked to see acting this bad. So bad it borders on hilarious. All this while a silver slinky robot with long legs searches out to destroy. This is one that could evolve to be a cult favourite, it's just that bad. Thought Robert Picardo was a good actor? Wait until you see this one!
The best realised scenes are those of the secret military robots. If I was voting for hilarity I would give this a 5. There is a part of this where ... Read More
Rating: - This Movie Seems Familiar
If you have seen the movie Curse of the Komodo then you will recognize a lot of this film. Artificially intelligent war machines prove to be more indestructible and less controllable than designed (they look like they stepped out of The Incredibles). On goes berserk in the film's opening and we never learn its final fate. Two more are being carried on a plane that crashes in the Pacific. The military puts together a team to locate the plane and the missing war machines. Meanwhile, a group of crooks ... Read More
Rating: - Pretty bad
If you want to have some fun watch a movie called Curse of the Komodo which is Komodo 2 .
It's about 3 casino robbers who crash their helicopter on an island full of giant komodo dragons.
This movie was obviously made by the same company as they have 2 of the same actors in it and lifted the entire sub-plot and dialogue,sometimes word for word, from Curse of the Komodo.
They just replaced Komodos with robots.
I've never seen a non-remake scavenge a film like this.
Komodo was ... Read More
Rating: - pretty cool for a direct to video thing.
with tons and tons of direct to video junk coming out every month i thought this was kind of cool. the cg that they can pull off these days with little budgets is amazing. i thought this movie was pretty entertaining for the most part. you gotta love the robots that just kill everything. if you want a goofy-action-robots-killing-people movie this one is for you. give it a shot. you can do lots worse.
