Smoreni Zmaj "Sharknado 5" continues in the direction of its predecessors, but this time they failed. Previous films have been based on unrealistic, but established quasi-scientific premises, and they stuck to them so that all the time you can be clear about what, how and why. This time, through most of the film I had no idea what was going on. Confusing, illogical and full of holes and with no quasi-scientific explanation that would give some sort of credibility to the story. Bunch of events that do not hold your attention, unconvincing story, poor CGI and unforgivably bad acting of several actors. Too stupid for a serious movie, and not nearly enough over-the-top to be a hilarious ride, like those brought to us by its prequels. But I can not completely bury it, because it does have some bright moments. The film is full of references, both verbal and visual, to pop culture and some cult films, and several times I sincerely laughed.5/10If you carefully follow the details, you will recognize references to "Lady and the Tramp", James Bond, "Star Trek", "Wonder Woman", "An American Werewolf in London", "Back to the Future", "Monty Python's Flying Circus", Indiana Jones, "Mission Impossible", "Mad Max" and others.

Michael_Elliott Sharknado 5: Global Swarming (2017) 1/2 (out of 4)Fin (Ian Ziering) and April (Tara Reid) must run around the world trying to save their young son who has been sucked up into one of the sharknados. The two are also trying to figure out who to destroy these evil things one final time and it might depend on something from the ancient past.You know, I liked the first SHARNADO and I also slightly enjoyed one sequel. With that said, it's becoming rather clear that the producers haven't any original ideas as the stories keep getting worse and worse and they've gotten to the point where this fifth film is downright awful and deadly boring. It's clear that this series has run out of steam but sadly it appears there's yet another one to come.What you've got here is basically no story but instead you've got one location after another, around the world, that falls victim to the sharknado. We see our leads travel to these places and see the towns destroyed by the monsters. This was never fun and this includes a very dull opening sequence that pays homage to the Indiana Jones movies.The vision of tornados with sharks in them just isn't fun on its own any more so you need something else to go with it but there's simply nothing here. I really struggled to make it through the film and even the supporting performance of Olivia Newton John and the various cameos didn't help things. SHARKNADO 5: GLOBAL SWARMING is about as bad as they come.

Brucey D Yes it is another Sharknado movie and this one has it's tongue so far in its cheek that it might never see daylight again. Arguably the typical ingredients in a SyFy movie, being second-rate actors, third-rate production values and fourth-rate CGI, have found their perfect means of expression in the Sharknado series. If you are going to end up making a film that no-one is likely to take seriously anyway, why not go the whole hog and make it as absurd as possible? Throw in a slightly larger budget which allows for some interesting cameos and the occasional line of dialogue which is genuinely funny and you have Sharknado 5. I took absolutely nothing about this film remotely seriously -which I take to be the intended spirit- and I rather enjoyed it.

Paul Magne Haakonsen As much as I enjoy campy movies, a genre that the "Sharknado" movies definitely fall under, then I must say that the movie have gradually been slipping down a steep hill with each passing movie. And this 5th installment to the franchise is the worst one of the movie so far."Sharknado 5: Global Swarming" is a movie that spoofs many other movies, but it fails to do so in a particularly good or funny manner, and that results in the movie becoming strained and forced, and it is clear that director Anthony C. Ferrante is trying to make the audience laugh, but fails to do so in a proper way.The characters in the movie, particularly Fin (played by Ian Ziering) and April (played by Tara Reid) are now jokes and parodies on themselves and their characters in the previous movies. Which makes for a somewhat bitter pill to swallow. Especially the April character whom has turned into a cyborg with superhero-like powers.The dialogue is just downright atrocious in "Sharknado 5: Global Swarming". Mind you, it hasn't exactly been Shakespearian dialogue in the previous movies either, but it is exceptionally poor in this fifth installment in the franchise.It feels like even the main cast have given up because the movie has reached an unfathomable level of ridiculousness.What did work out well enough for the movie was the amount of cameo appearances that took place throughout the course of the movie. Lots of familiar faces to spot, so be on the lookout for those."Sharknado 5: Global Swarming" is a weak movie in itself and also as an addition to the franchise. If you have watched the previous four movies, you might find some enjoyment in the fifth movie as well. Personally, I didn't really enjoy this one as much as the previous ones to various degree.The ending of the movie, albeit it was so unfathomably corny and cheesy that it was painful to witness, then it was still a fun twist to the movie. It was incredibly stupid, yes, but I must admit that I found myself to be chuckling at that twist to the storyline as it made so little sense for the storyline.Perhaps it is time to let Fin and his cyborg ex-wife rest and have the Sharknados ebb out and die...
