Sharknado


There's a special kind of movie that goes beyond the convention of bad and just goes into train wreck of hilarity. Such movies of this caliber have included Troll 2, The Room, and now Sharknado.

There's not really anything that can be said about Sharknado besides, its a movie about a tornado of sharks made by Scifi. If you were expecting them to try, you're kind of stupid.

Sharknado follows the story of Fin, a bar owner in Santa Monica. There's a large hurricane coming to hit California and him and his friends seem to be the only people who care about it. That's not really a plot point, its more looking at the environment around these characters and watching cars and people go about their daily business while a CGI shark flops on the hood of their car.

When this horrible weather not only brings rain but also Sharks, Fin decides he needs to go get his ex-wife (played by Tara Reid) and his daughter and get away from the Ocean and the rabid sharks.

Fin is joined by his friend Baz, and another bartender, Nova. Oh and John Heard but he dies pretty quickly.

Well they find his wife and daughter but they need to go save his son. When they get to his son, they have the brilliant idea of flying a helicopter into the Sharknado and throwing a bomb into it... I am not joking. Well it works and the Sharknado is destroyed, The End.

As you can see, the plot is not why you should watch this movie. This movie is a special kind of movie that you watch with your friends and laugh when people get sucks out of helicopters and into the mouths of sharks. When people run around with shotguns shooting sharks out of the sky. And when people slice sharks in half with a chainsaw.

This movie just falls into the category of its So bad, its good. The acting is shitty, the effects are shitty, the movie overall is just shitty but its actually a really fun time.

If you don't like shitty movies, you're going to hate Sharknado. Its less about story and just watching the weird ways people can die from a tornado of sharks.

Frankly, I don't know why this movie has such a following where other shitty Scifi movies don't but its a fun time if you're drunk or just want to sharp shoot... or shark shoot... a shitty movie and there's not much more to say about it.

Get some friends together, watch it on Netflix, I don't think you'll regret it.

So there are my thoughts on Sharknado. Its a short review cause there's not much to review. Its a shitty film but its so shitty its good. What do you think of Sharknado? Why do you watch it? Comment and discuss below.

I'll leave you with this. Here's a compilation of all the shark attacks and funny moments of the movie. You could probably watch this and be good. Its gory, its funny, Enjoy!
