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

Is there going to be a series of these now, like "Disaster Zone: Tidal Wave in Detroit" or "Disaster Zone: Earthquake in Indiana" or "Disaster Zone: NC State Basketball in the NCAA Tournament"?

Anyway, I hope so, because this was the best "Disaster" comedy I've seen since Volcano with Tommy Lee Jones (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120461/) and TV's 10.5 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364146/).

If you're looking for thrills and science, go rent a documentary. But if you are looking for laughs and "Science!", you've got the right movie.

Verdict: 6.0 on a rictor scale of 10 for sheer comedic value
