Disaster Zone: Volcano in New York (2006)
It's the movie Volcano ala Sci-Fi Channel
If it's got Michael Ironside in it, it's definitely going to be bad. He plays a scientist who is drilling a hole 7 miles deep in Manhattan to tap into an underground magma flow for an energy source. On the other side, you've got a tunnel digger and a geologist who just happens to be the tunnel digger's ex-wife and when they meet in the movie for the first time, you've got the sappy music for them. It's got the usual bureaucrats who won't listen to the scientists who are trying to warn of a impending disaster, FBI agents who get all ultra paranoid thinking it's all terrorism and the mandatory love interest. If you're a fan of the show Mystery Science Theater 3000, then this bad movie is for you.
Stealth (2005)
Stealth: The final frontier...
Any movie I've seen with an AI in it, will always have the AI turn on its creator and most of the time that happens when its struck by lightning or experiences a power surge. The storyline goes as follows: Because of the growing threat of terrorism in the near future, the military develops three high tech fighter planes to combat terrorism and selects three pilots out of about 400 that apply to the secret program to fly those three sweet planes. To test out AI in military craft, a fourth plane is developed and built with artificial intelligence taking the place of a human pilot. It's sent out with the three human pilots on a mission and when they come back, a storm has formed all around them and the aircraft carrier they are all assigned to. The fighter plane with the AI is struck by lightning (remember the first Short Circuit) and is essentially re-wired, becoming self-aware. Now they all go out again on another mission once the AI is cleared to return to duty, but that's where they start chasing after the AI plane as it goes haywire and takes things into its own 'hands'. The plot is good, no doubt about it. It's sci-fi with action and of course special effects. Very few movies these days are made without special effects. This movie, with so many others I've seen, has the one person that doesn't listen to reason and gives the go ahead for things because of denial, ego, and so on, a typical love interest that movie makers seem just seem to have to have. It is a sexy, exciting action movie.
