Sky Sharks

If you like trash movies, this movie is still the worst you'll ever see..

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.

I wanted to like "Sky Sharks" in the same way I wanted to like "Iron Sky 2".

Regrettably, in my view both have one flaw in common. A disjointed story, that tries to squeeze in far too many creative ideas. The end result is a tale that "hot foots it" from one idea to another. There's little in the way of lead in with plot holes so large, you could park a Panzer tank in them.

The result for the poor viewer, is hefty doses, of cognitive dissonance. Or put another way the story's a hot mess.

Other shortcomings include gratuitous, sensationalist violence and sex, that detracted even more from this flick.

On the upside the idea is a novel one, that mixes similar concepts from cheesy films like "Surf Nazi's Must Die (1987)" and the "Sharknado" film franchise. Its a fun, clever, mash up, that could have worked really well with more modest, measured handling.

Equally, some of the visuals are pretty decent too and once again, hint at the potential that lies within this way out and wacky concept.

In summary, this is marginally watchable. That said, if splatter films with lots of clumsy sex scenes, is not really your thing and you like a coherent story, in my opinion this might not be for you.

4/10.

I could write a long detailed review about how bad this movie is, but let me not waste your time. Do not rent, buy, or otherwise watch this trash of a movie. Don't let the shark and zombie effects trick you into watching this mess.

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.
