How did it get this far? We live in a world where Dredd can’t get a sequel but Sharknado is on its third outing. Sometimes I question the Human Race. But then I realise I’m part of the problem. If there weren’t people like me thinking ‘I need to see how preposterous this gets’, then there’d be no market for The Asylum and their distinct brand of movie. Whoops.
How preposterous does it get then? We’ve already had the original Sharknado attack Los Angeles, whilst multiple Sharknadoes hit New York in the sequel. Wanton destruction and many a minor celebrity have been destroyed or eaten, so whilst I’m not completely surprised by the moves this threequel makes, I am surprised that they’ve got there so soon.
Sharknado 3 launches itself wholeheartedly into a situation so ludicrous that I wonder how it could further. Time travel? It did however make for a film more entertaining than its predecessors. You need to be in the right frame of mind though. Get those eyes ready to roll!
Sadly I didn’t know who the majority of cameos were this time, but the ones I did recognise were impressive. Admittedly, any mileage with these “stars” varies massively on your date of birth. There are plenty of deaths regardless, with the sharks still managing to fly into spaces they have no right to.
This is the best Sharknado so far, but it’s awful on almost every level. From the purposely shoddy CGI, to the calibre of acting, to the purposely shoddy dialogue. Shoddiness is order of the day.
Sharknado has made ‘so bad it’s good’ mainstream, but where can it possibly go next? They literally jumped the shark in the second film and have pushed the third past any sort of realistic concept. Maybe the public vote regarding a main character’s demise will keep the interest levels up, but the makers of this shockingly bad series may have shot themselves in the foot.
