Sky Sharks

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.
