Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Leofwine_draca Yeah, it's a good question - and a rhetorical one too. Judging by the sub-SyFy Channel standard of A.I. ASSAULT, aka SHOCKWAVE, the answer's a definite "no", because this is Z-grade CGI trash through and through. The problem with A.I. ASSAULT is that it's saddled with an absolutely awful, lunk-headed script which starts nowhere and goes nowhere. The characters are cardboard cut-outs, the performances would stink in a porn film, and the direction is sub-par. In fact, the only thing good about the whole movie is a pair of alien robots which dominate the storyline.These creations are shamelessly lifted from Wells' original WAR OF THE WORLD, giant Tripod-things that go around butchering soldiers in various mildly gory (but inevitably cheesy) ways. They show promise, but the premise soon boils down to various characters wandering around an island somewhere, endlessly fighting them off and getting bumped off one by one. It's all very humdrum and by rote; the robots could be exchange for any movie monster in existence and it would all boil down to the same thing.The film's main selling point is the presence of a number of ex-STAR TREK actors who inevitably show up for brief cameos before disappearing again. An indelibly aged George Takei is here, along with Robert Picardo and Michael Dorn. B-movie favourite Tim Thomerson also appears as a stuffy army official. Sadly, none of these actors even come close to making A.I. ASSAULT anything approaching a decent movie.

andrew jones This is a very poor film... and then some.Michael Dorn and George Takei were obviously thinking of their pension pots when they signed for this. When this film is advertised on sky it always bands their names about to drum up viewers. One, their not in it much and Two, their hardly A list.You know it's going to be very poor when a film is also known as something else....it was listed as "Shockwave" when i saw it.Not much else to say really. Bad special effects for the most part, navy seals (or whoever their meant to be) who walk in line while on a mission like a Sunday school outing,foam rocks that wobble,guns that never need to be re loaded and poor acting.If you get bored one night and see this advertised don't do like i did and "give it a go",do something more interesting like count the blades of grass on your lawn.

Paul Andrews A.I. Assault starts as a US Government chartered plane flies through a torrential thunderstorm, aboard it's secret cargo of high-tech military killer robots activate & in the ensuing panic the plane crashes on an isolated island. Back at military HQ the top brass is aware of events, a team of special forces ops lead by Major Richard Tunney (Joe Lando) are sent to shut down the out of control killer robots that were activated before their obedience program was installed & before they find a way to reach civilization where they could go on a rampage & kill thousands. Ex soldier & helicopter pilot Jack (Joshua Cox) & a trio of thieves who have crashed landed on the island also join in the fun & fight for survival...Also known under the title Shockwave this was co-written & directed by Jim Wynorski under his regular Jay Andrews pseudonym I am shocked to report that I didn't actually hate this, I usually hate Jim Wynorski films & consider him along with Jesus 'I have no talent' Franco as consistently the worst director's out there who have huge filmographies but seem to produce virtually nothing but crap with one or two exceptions & A. I. Assault is definitely one of Wynorski's highlights but even then I can't say it's particularly good, it's just that it's not as bad as Wynorski's usual output. Originally airing on the Sci-Fi Channel maybe the version titled Shockwave has some extra gore in it, A. I. Assault feels a lot like many of those Sci-Fi Channel creature features where a random group of people including walking clichés like military soldiers, thieves & scientist's end up stuck fighting some sort of menace. Usually it's a giant Snake or Komodo or animal but here it's a couple of killer robots that have gone haywire & I actually thought it was watchable in a bad sort of way, sure it's not deep or meaningful or original but there's a certain amount of dumb fun to be had if you know what your getting into. The usual bad plotting, stupid dialogue, idiot character's who just stand there as killer robots attack are here & I simply don't understand why the team only took one of those lasers which is the only thing that can penetrate the robots armour to the island with them, why not give each soldier one of his own? It just doesn't make any sense.There's a little bit of gore, there's a few decapitations & someone is ripped apart although generally speaking A. I. Assault isn't a gory film. Surprisingly the CGI computer effects are alright, sure they ain't brilliant & there are one or two really bad shots but overall I was surprised the CGI was bearable & considering the budget even somewhat impressive at times. The robots themselves look like the tripods from War of the Worlds & even have lasers which disintegrate it's victims, unsurprisingly A. I. Assault was made & released less than a year after Spielberg's remake of War of the World (2005).The production values are cheap looking although the locations look quite nice. The acting is mixed but everyone seems to have fun with this, there's a really good & experienced cast here actually including Joe Lando (appeared in almost every episode of Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman (1993 - 1998), Bill Mumy (Will Robinson from Lost in Space (1965 - 1968), Lisa LoCicero (200 odd episodes of General Hospital (2008 - 2009), Star Trek actor's George Takei, Micheal Dorn & Robert Picardo who have hundreds of episodes between them & even ex Baywatch (1992 - 1997) babe Alexandra Paul while respected actor Tim Thomerson turns up as well.A. I. Assault was better than i expected & while it's not brilliant or even particularly good I didn't hate it & had a certain amount of fun watching it & there's a terrific cast to look out for too. You could do worse but then again you could do a lot better.

Saturnfly 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. ;)
