Review:
This here was simply another highly enjoyable and utterly crazy entry in the series. The fact that this one starts in with the newfound means of setting up the new reality where it's intended to prevent the world from the sharknado appearing again in a spectacular opening sequence that brings about the spectacularly cheesy action the series is known for with the different monuments getting ravaged by the creatures and having the greatness of the different mini-attacks that play along to their universe's rules while getting in plenty of the treasured cameos.
Likewise, the big action set-pieces that come about here because of the general plot line in play here means that this one really so full of awesome action scenes that comes along throughout here which gives us the train attack alongside the howling tornado outside, the great town- attack in the blazing oil-field moves past the group and the big attacks on the different cities that really allow the kind of over- the-top scenarios and action which become quite fun. That even includes the rather exciting and thrilling encounter at the farmhouse where the tornado-like winds provide this with some really thrilling sequences as they have to fight off the wind as well as the encroaching sharks whip around outside that stands as one of the greatest scenes in the film.
That also leads into the big finale at the waterfalls at the end which is quite an impressive and thrilling big series of action-packed scenes that bring about the kind of cheesy nature and full-on crazy ideas to come into play here that's become quite synonymous with the series and gives this a solid connection to it all. With the solid gore and bloody kills running rampant across here in terms of both sharks and humans as well as some truly outrageous sight-gags and several rather funny lines thrown into the mix, there's so much to really like here.
Still, even with all this great amount of fun there's a few minor and barely detrimental areas here. The main one is the fact that there's no reason to introduce the storyline about the family completely unaware of her resurgence. The reasoning for doing so isn't all that well-handled and seems like it would've had a built-in excuse that would've worked fine but instead this is a wholly lame angle that doesn't really do much for the film. As well, there's also the usual and expected atrocious CGI present here that looks rather cheap and really badly done which is wholly distracting and takes a lot out of the scenes. These here are the film's only problems.
Overview: **** 1/2/5
A fun and thrilling addition to the series, despite a few minor problem areas that crop up in here, which manages to come together into being a lot of fun overall. Give this one a shot if you've made it this far in the series or have a lot of love for the cheesy shark movies like this one, while those that don't appreciate this type of film should heed extreme caution.
