Review:
Once again this one offers a lot to really like about it. Taking on a usual approach of building off the past, this one provides plenty of incredibly fun action-packed moments due to the constant and never-ending series of action within here. Triggering the event at the very beginning in the cave which quickly gets flooded and filled with sharks, the resulting payoff of the devastation in London has so much to like with the massive destruction offered of the sharks falling and taking out the citizens in really cool ways as well as the innovative defense techniques to stop them as the sharks flood the streets.
As well, the later scenes of the blimp being brought down by the tornado and getting into the big skiing sequence down the mountain which offers up plenty of fun here by setting up the enjoyable series of scenes within the global community. Offering forth the idea of the international order and the different portals featured throughout here where this one manages to bring big scenes in all the different cities. The attack on the opera house, the chase through the mountains with the giant statues floating around them and the big battle in the coliseum make for a great series of action-packed encounters battling the creatures around them, yet the high-energy destruction caused in Tokyo where the blob of sharks ambling around like a giant monster powered by the radioactive material is where the cheesy action really scores well.
This one even manages to feature the fun moments inside the Egyptian sequences where their supernatural prophecies come to pass and this one really plays nicely with the grandiose supernatural action present here which finally ends matters with all the fine destruction featured throughout the world. Along with the great kills and a rather glorious ending twist, these give this one so much to like to hold it out over the minor flaw here.
As per usual, there's just no getting around the lame CGI present which really doesn't look good and holds this back considerably with the goofy look of the sharks in their environment which happens constantly due to the big action throughout here. This is mainly due to how ridiculous a lot of the action here becomes which is what highlights this issue, and while it's not a truly obvious feature the fact that it sticks out can be somewhat problematic. Otherwise, this one was highly enjoyable.
Overview: *****/5
With a truly enjoyable setup that provides plenty of high-energy, full-on fun that is part and parcel of the series, this is one of the better entries in the franchise. Give this one a go if you're a fan of these types of films or have been a fan of the series up till now, while those that haven't been won over by what's been shown so far won't find much to like here.
