Sky Sharks

About 20 mins into the movie I've felt an urge to look up the name and see a photo of the director of this movie so I can blacklist him and avoid further mistakes. At first this looked like an Asylum-type movie without the humor part but it got even worse. Dialogs, acting, editing, directing, writing... all terrible, except some decent CGI.

I think some people can't be objective about their own projects. I believe excessive self-confidence drives people into very ridiculous situations. It gets even worse if you don't have any honest friends around you to wake you up and pull you out of your 'psychosis'. Making such movies is a long and gradual process. I wish there were someone at some point to tell the truth and prevent a real disaster from happening.

I gave 1 star for the movie, then raised to 2 for the CGI team.

Overall, above avg special effects and a pinch of nudity thrown in. Tom Savini, the master of gore effects, brings his magic to this movie. Can't be all bad.

Sky Shark provides some cheesy and gory fun, but sadly only for the first 30 minutes or so, after that, especially the mid section, strongly loses momentum (explanation over explanation etc.) and I was finally rather bored. With a better script, focused on the action like in the beginning, Sky Sharks could have been a fine cheesy horror experience. Anyway, if Nazi-horror movies like Iron Sky, Frankenstein's Army, Ghosts of War, Blood Vessel, Overlord, Dead Snow and the like, or games like the Castle Wolfenstein franchise, rings a bell, you may give Sky Sharks a try.

The movie is every bit as terrible as the title and poster suggests. The filmmakers gathered a lot of names, that are actually well known in Germany, but (with very few exceptions) haven't done anything good in the last decades.

The idea of doing a trashy movie like Sharknado and Iron Sky isnt terrible, but this isn't 2010 anymore. We've seen it over and over and these movies had several sequels while Sky Sharks was announced and did nothing for years.

The filmmakers showed off a critic on Facebook and got a lot of support by their own fanbase. What do you expect. The ones that supported the negative review got blocked. So you know who you deal with here.

Yes, it is hard to make a film.

It is even harder to make a film in Germany.

It is the hardest to make a good film.

I didn't expect Sky Sharks to be good, but it is nearly unwatchable.

But hey, don't tell the filmmakers, because they will feel offended by it. Lie to them, tell them how great this piece of .... is, unless you want to be called out or blocked.

And you guys wonder why German movies have a bad reputation? Not because of the movies, but because of diva-filmmakers like you.

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
