First, just let me say, that the four star review I gave this movie is reflective of B-movies only, not theatrical releases. That being said, this is one of the better B-movies I've seen in awhile.
The story isn't anything special, nor is it as silly and contrived as so many I've seen. A plane full of military robots crash on a deserted island and a crack military team is brought in to recover them. Also in the mix is a group of thieves whose own helicopter crashed on the island after a heist(what are the odds???).
As one reviewer mentioned, the soliders spend a lot of time shooting at the robots, but it is either to try and divert their attention away from one of their own before the person gets killed, or in an attempt to hit a small weak point on their heads. Personally, I didn't find it all that boring. The only scene where it really got on my nerves was in the very beginning, when a solider in the back of a pick-up fires off about fifty continuous rounds from a handgun while trying to escape...over rough terrain...and the robot is a hundred yards away...and he has no idea the thing has a weak spot. I would have rather listened to him scream like a little girl for five minutes then keep shooting that stupid gun. At least that would have been funny.
Speaking of funny, as another reviewer mentioned, there is a early scene(on the plane that is carrying the robots) when a woman throws herself to the floor as if one of the robots tentacles did it, but the closest one to her is going after somebody else. Priceless. In most of the "Making of" segments, you never really get to see the actors reacting to the CGI effects that aren't there. This is probably why; they would look ridicules
and become YouTube fodder for the next month-in-a-half (look, there's Hugh Jackman pretending that he has claws on his hands again, hahaha!!!)
While the story is nothing special and the acting is pretty spotty, the effects are actually a step above most in the B-movie genre(while being a step or two below the big budgets). But, all-in-all, the movie was entertaining and dealt with large robots instead of the usual large creatures, and those don't come around too often(unless you count Transmorphers...Eeeewwwww). So if your renting this movie or buying it on the cheap, I would definitly recommend it.

Bought this set when I bought a milwaukee drill and impact driver set. These work great for the impact driver and when I bought them I had the intent that these may not shatter like other bits as they are made for the impact driver itself. It is a nice set to have with your portable drill as it has several sizes with you in one area. Case looks to be durable as well. If you do buy it, when you use it, be sure the "clear-ish" container inside the one door is snapped closed, I neglected to do so and the bits in that part come out even when closed up.

Shockwave is a rip your face off hardcore band from Cybertron. They play maybe once every year to four years (ie 12/27/2008) and if you don't like 'em you'll be like that little kid who leaves the pit with blood gushing from his face. If you're gonna buy this album, you probably already know who they are. You will probably memorize all their lyrics and sing them in your car and push people off the median.
