Watching: THE LAST SHARKNADO: IT'S ABOUT TIME

Year: 2018
Rated: TV-14
Director: Anthony C. Ferrante
Glutton for punishment, or completist? Either way, after sitting through/surviving every other Sharknado film, in hopes this was the last one I was curious to see if my observation of the films (that each one is slightly worse than its predecessor) was still true. Sure enough, The Last Sharknado is the stinker to end all stinkers, with a stupidly confusing plot serving as nothing more than an excuse for Fin Shepherd (Ian Ziering) to spend the film time-traveling from the age of dinosaurs throughout history, ostensibly to remake the present day into a world where the sharknados never existed. Yeah, it's that bad. Inside jokes, puns, and cameos from C-level-or-lower celebrities abound, but this time it's like they only half-tried to even make the special effects halfway believable, often times cutting away the camera as the shark actually strikes. And then there's that ending, where Fin and friends end up, what, 20,000 years in the future? Sharknados or not, you will only wish they'd stayed there. 1/10 stars
