Sky Sharks

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.

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

There are times in movie-watching life when you just know you shouldn't torture yourself by watching the whole thing...and for me, this was one of them.

I gave it 1 point because you have to, and for the over the top concept and beginning, but after that, it's just beyond pathetic.

Atrocious acting and script don't help, nor does the fact that it's obvious attempts are humour fail miserably. It really does seem like it was all the work of a drooling teenage boy getting his masturbatory fantasies onto the big screen.

The only possible grounds I can think of for sitting though the entirety of this, is you you're trying to punish yourself for some heinous act.

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.

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.
