My least favorite
moviegeek86-934-73084020 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
At the end of the 5th movie we were introduced to an older Gil from the future played by the awesome Dolph Lundgren. I assumed the 6th and last movie would feature him fighting the sharknado but Lundgren is completely MIA with some BS time travel excuse to explain the absence of the Gil character.

I found the first act entertaining enough but by the time it hit the third act and it became all about Tara Reid I was pretty checked out. There's a good reason why most fans voted her to die at the end of Sharknado 3. She's an awful actress and is, IMO, the worst thing about these movies. Even worse than the CGI.

I still love Sharknado 2 but this one was meh. Might watch it again but probably not. My least favorite of the series.

Getting worse - but still that bad it's decent.
one9eighty4 September 2018
The good thing about the Sharknado movies is simple; they really really don't take themselves seriously. Any review about these films have to have that in mind because the on-screen antics are usually that far over the top and ludicrous, that it's reaching back around again to tickle you on the belly. Kind of continuing from where the last Sharknado film left off this film starts in the prehistoric past. The concept is simple, stop the first Sharknado and change the future. As such Fin and his gang are using what they can to change the future. And so the story begins. Using tongue in cheek time travel concepts they hop from era to era to fight Sharknados, encountering some famous faces along the way.

The acting is terrible, the CGI is weak, even the story at this time in the franchise has become awful - but let's face it, if you have seen they previous Sharknado films you know what to expect, and you didn't come to the film expecting an Oscar potential classic.

The best thing I can do is compare this to the previous Sharknado's when reviewing, so in that sense - this isn't as good as Sharknado 1 or 2, but isn't as weak as Sharkna..... ooh who am I kidding, they are all pretty much the same and it's become difficult to remember what exactly happened from film to film. - they have gone downhill since the first two or three but hey - who cares.

Well done on creating a concept which has championed a genre of so-bad-it's-good, low-budget mock-schlop films. I'm giving this incarceration 5 out 10. I think with the time travelling they could have done a little more but hey - it's still a fund two hours of jaw-dropping, mind boggling, awesome rubbish.

Not bad
IrinaOma20 January 2019
I can't believe some reviewers expected good acting or visuals or even "smart" story line. Guys, don't make fools of yourselves. This movie is "as good as " previous 5 installements. For this type of films it is a decent final

Terrible
englishpatrick20 August 2018
The point of these movies was to be so bad that they were good. The first three succeeded and the fourth almost made it. The fifth was terrible so I hoped that they would learn from their mistakes with this one. I was wrong. Go watch something else beter. Maybe food fight?

Duh Dumb... Duh Dumb... Duh Dumb...
TheFearmakers20 August 2018
It happens in every action movie and you're not supposed to realize it. Characters spout what's called Exposition Dialogue about what's gonna happen, and it happens throughout the action. Then they discuss the next/upcoming obstacle, and so on and so forth...

But in THE LAST SHARKNADO... with a title that may or may not be a send-up on the Italian-made disaster THE LAST SHARK... the characters talk about what they're about to do while in the process of actually doing it, making this extra-cheap-looking intentional epilogue a tedious, tiresome adventure that, even though meant to be bad (i.e. so-bad-it's-good), isn't very enjoyable even with a time-traveling device that could have at least been interesting. But no matter where they go... or rather, when they go... from Prehistoric Times to The Revolutionary War to The Wild West to the Beach Blanket Fifties, it's basically the same scene repeating itself. And at this point, the actual Sharknados are not only silly, they have little to do with the plot, overall. Which is a good time to quit.

Unwatchable
sillywalks11241 September 2018
I've loved the previous Sharknado movies. They've been so delightlyfully stupid. So I have to say it but this pile of trash was utterly unwatchable. Everybody with the exception of Dee Snider completely phoned it in. Incidentally his is the best scene of the movie.

Thank goodness its the last one ...
Wikkid_Gamez20 August 2018
As if these movies could get any more cheesy and painfully bad acting ... Well, they can apparently ... I didn't think they could, man was I wrong ... At least I won't have to watch it again, I can understand a kid liking these movies. But an adult? My daughter loves them unfortunately so I have had to watch them all first to make sure she could watch them. Speaking of horribly cheesy bad shark movies... I guess I better go ahead and go watch Santa Jaws and get over with so I can approve it for her or not.

For the love of all that is unholy...
paul_haakonsen23 August 2018
Seriously? Nothing else needs to be said about this movie actually...

Well, you know what you get yourself into here when you sit down to watch "The Last Sharknado: It's About Time", especially if you've seen the previous five movies in the franchise. I have seen the previous five movies, unfortunately, so I know that this sixth movie would be in for a pressed chance of alleviating the downward slope that the movies have been on ever since going beyond the first movie.

"The Last Sharknado: It's About Time" turned out to be continuing on in the same footsteps that the franchise is already traversing. And it is even worse than its fifth predecessor, which didn't really take much. The sixth installment in the franchise was the worst one yet. Yep, that's right.

The storyline here, was so incredibly stupid and pointless that the movie had no actual contents, aside from a bunch of people traveling through time and besting one sharknado after another with no problems. So don't expect any kind of entertainment value from "The Last Sharknado: It's About Time".

The few things that "The Last Sharknado: It's About Time" has working for it is the fact that it is the returning cast coming back to reprise their characters. But don't get all worked up, we are talking about the likes of Ian Ziering, Tara Reid and the like here, so go figure... Plus it is sharknados after all, and that concept is just so ludicrous that it is actually fun to watch (although it did nothing to lift up this train wreck of a movie here).

There is just something morbidly odd about movies like this that keeps us coming back to watch them, when we know deep in our hearts that it is going to be a suckfest that is unpreceded by anything, yet we keep coming back to watch movies like this - perhaps in the hopes that the movie will somehow turn out to be a surprising experience.

"The Last Sharknado: It's About Time" is just not worth the time, effort or money...

What did you expect?
dickyadams2 January 2021
This film contains one of the greatest sight gags ever.

Near the end, the protagonist is being blown around inside a tornado, surrounded by flying sharks and robot future sharks, while being attacked by a future robot version of his wife, who in turn is being blasted by the second robot head of his future wife but from an earlier future, who's head is being heald in the mouth of flying shark, while she is blasting lasers from her eyes.

All around them are historical figures killing flying sharks, and he's suddenly hit by a flying kitchen sink..

It's up there with Shatner's door gag in Airplane2.

Watch this and enjoy.

Are people seriously trying to write a serious review.
jamiekressinger20 August 2018
Yes it's a terrible film. Yes that's what it's supposed to be. And yes that's why it's so ridiculously good fun. Let's be fair it's not for everyone. But if your not one of them people. Why did you start watching a film called sharknado in the first place.

Worst. Film. Ever!
samcro6920 August 2018
This is hands down the worst piece of garbage I have ever seen! I understand & enjoy "camp" but this was just "crap" I would rather sit through Manos: The Hands of Fate than suffer through 5 minutes of this or ANY Sharknado film!

Disappointing
mariasangria21 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Man, I was just so disappointed. I was expecting this movie to be awesome, especially cause I'm a die hard Sharknado and shark movie fan, but this movie just kind of sucked. At first it was like, okay, you're gonna screw with physics make stuff make no sense whatsoever and have a plot that's confusing as heck, alright, now you're gonna have an ending where everything that's built up within the characters throughout the last 4 movies, not okay. That was a total let down. I'm really disappointed about that. 2 Stars because I like the beginning, but the ending! IT SUCKED!! Well, I guess I'll just have to forget this one and watch the other movies (Besides The Fourth Awakens, that was bad) in laughter and joy.

Do not watch this cinematic abortion. Clean the kitchen, scour the tub, go mow the grass. Do ANYTHING other than watching this lousy film.

The worse movie ever.
timinator7962-156-94401920 August 2018
I decided to watch the last of the Sharknado movies. From the first one made to the last one. Each one was more stupider then the last. But "the Last Sharnado: it's About Time" has done them all. I have seen very stupid movies in my time, but this one has out did them all. I do not want to wast my time in entertainment on movies like this one. This is a movie I would not recommended to anyone.

Ready to blow my mind?
Bored_Dragon7 October 2018
One can go over the top only so far before it becomes completely ridiculous. Honestly, I doubted that even the second movie could be good and I deeply admire creators for being able to come this far. But after the fourth they really should have quit. The fifth I could forgive, but this crap is definitely unforgivable. The idea is not so bad and the movie is full of interesting references to a bunch of historical figures and events, as well as some cult movies (Back to the Future, The Planet of the Apes), but overall impression this movie leaves is as lousy as it can be. Everything from the script, through acting directing and special effects, is unbelievably terrible and boring. So far this was my favorite movie franchise, but after this, and especially its ending, which is one of the worst endings ever, I really hope they won't make fools of themselves anymore. If you liked previous Sharknados, skip this crap and preserve them in good memory.

Not really that memorable when compared to the previous Sharknado movies. The only scene that really stuck with me after watching this was the scene where Neil Degrasse Tyson is riding a Pteranodon and yells "Who needs Science when you have a dragon?!"

Complete waste of my time!
ned-reed20 August 2018
While the SharkNado series we all knew were never Oscar material. At least the first two were semi entertaining as stupid movies go!

This LAST one had nothing redeeming about it! The writing was phoned in, big cast that earned a paycheck and that's it. The producers should be ashamed! Thankfully it was on cable so all I lost was my time!

Hilariously BAD
lvnvrcd20 August 2018
I've been with Sharknado since the beginning. The ridiculousness never ends, which is what makes them so great! If you've been watching this series for anything other than crazy, dumb plots, acting, and special effects then you're watching for the wrong reasons. I've enjoyed every single one.

Let's do the Time Warp Again.

How many films can you make once the earth is destroyed? They made three after "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" a film they pay homage too in this one including the Liberty crown.

This didn't measure up to the rest of the series (sometimes less is more) but had all of the bells and whistles, i.e. cameos and trivia you may not notice.

Rich Ben Stein played our first Sec, Of Treasury Alexander Hamilton.

Dee Snider (Quiet Riot) says he Isn't going to take it anymore.

Cassandra Scerbo appears in a White Plague mask to let us know this is cryptic.

Quint is the name the band, also a real live shark fighter.

Tori Spelling plays Fin's mother. In real life she has a son Finn.

Bo Derek, Latoya Jackson, and Kato Kaelin had cameos.

Morgana was played by a female impersonator.

Benjy Bronk has now played in every film (except the first one) in a minor role as a different character. Eat your heart out Stan Lee.

There were so many film spoofs and trivia, I admit I doubt if I caught half of them.

Now maybe we can get on with Lavalantula.

The Last Sharknado: It's About Time
jboothmillard3 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The first film was rubbish, the second film was terrible, the third film was awful, the fourth film was crap, and the fifth was stupid, the TV-made Sharknado series has been one of the trashiest movie franchises ever created, I was relieved, as both a critic and a sane person who doesn't enjoy watching the film that this was the final instalment. Basically it continues right where Global Swarming left off, the Earth has been completely devastated from the global sharknado swarm. Fin Shepard (Ian Ziering) and his now-adult son Gil have travelled back in time, 66 million years to the Cretaceous period, filled with dinosaurs, to prevent the first sharknado and destroy the phenomena once and for all. It turns out Gil was just a hologram message, as the energy to time travel is unstable, an individual can only travel back in time once. Fin is shocked to find his wife April Wexler (Tara Reid), Nova Clarke (Cassandra Scerbo) and Bryan (30 Rock's Judah Friedlander) are there, Gil changed the past and brought them back to life to join him in his quest. The first sharknado appears during a meteor storm, the group ride on a pterodactylus and Fin uses fragments of heated meteorites for the storm to consume, the sharknado is exploded and dissipates. They believe history has been changed and the sharknado phenomenon has been erased, so they use a capacitor to travel back to the present day. But instead they travel to medieval times, Bryan is changed into a woman (Debra Wilson) due to a temporal alteration, they encounter Morgana le Fay (drag artist Alaska) and are brought to Merlin (Neil deGrasse Tyson), it is revealed that Gil's time traveling has altered space-time, unleashing the sharknados throughout history as he searches for his parents. April is unintentionally made aware of her future fate, as she and Fin are about to reconnect, a sharknado forms above the castle. Morgana warns Fin that only the one worthy can pull the magical sword Excalibur from the stone, but he manages to take it, Morgana is killed by a falling shark, and Fin uses the sword to defeat the sharknado. The group then travel to the Revolutionary War where they meet Benjamin Franklin (Will & Grace's Leslie Jordan) and George Washington (Darrell Hammond), they use the cannons to destroy the sharknado that threatens the fleet, they succeed, but Bryan, back as a man, is left behind. The group next travel to the Wild West, Fin is arrest by the local sheriff (Dee Snider) for allowing Billy the Kid (Jonathan Bennett) to escape, Nova and April are saved from an oncoming sharknado by Skye (Vivica A. Fox), also brought back to life by Gil. They realise they cannot alter Gil's journey through time, or they will interfere with his search for his parents, it will stop, and time events will not occur if they do. They use the head of Robot April (also Reid) to zap the sharknado and use a railroad train to create the next time portal. The end up on a beach in the 1950s, as a new sharknado forms, Fin encounters younger versions of his parents Gilbert (Dean McDermott) and Raye (Tori Spelling), he then surfs and destroys the sharknado with a ray gun. The group intend to travel back to 2013, when the first sharknado formed in their time, but Nova sabotages the capacitator to travel back to 1997, where she wants to save her grandfather (Christopher Knight) from being killed in the shark attack that traumatized her as a child. Fin has warned her of the consequences altering events from history, including her personal timeline, but she ignores him, rescues her grandfather, and ends up eaten by a shark herself, along with April, and Robot April's head is lost in the ocean. Devastated, Fin and Skye decide to continue to the year 2013, but they wind up accidentally travelling far into the future, to the year 20013, where they find Robot April has become supreme ruler, in a world ruined by sharknados, and armies of clones and flying, robotic sharks. Robot April explains she manipulated their time travel, after her head was found at sea, she felt abandoned for 20,000 years, she freezes Skye in carbonite and tries to convince Fin to be with her. Fin refuses and she tortures him, but human April was revived by Robot April, she wakes and intervenes, the two Aprils fight. Fin uses the time machine Robot April built to travel to 2013, he lands on the boat Captain Carlos Santiago (Israel Sáez de Miguel), at the moment the true first sharknado forms. They work together to battle the sharknado with aid from Robot April's head, which Santiago recovered, preventing her from turning evil. But Robot April of the future arrives, her struggle with Fin inside the sharknado causes time to begin collapsing, resulting in a "timenado", causing historical figures like Cleopatra (La Toya Jackson) and Adolf Hitler to all appear together, threatening to destroy the universe. The present-day Robot April's head helps Fin finally destroy her future self, and he triggers her nuclear reset failsafe, causing an explosion that kills them and the sharknado, and stitches time back together, creating a new timeline. In the new, sharknado-free timeline, all of the Shepard family and friends are alive, they are running the bar, and April is pregnant with Gil. Skye is on television and has become a politician and a leading presidential candidate, and Fin's daughter Claudia (Ryan Newman) delivers Fin a letter from his father who is in space. Fin plans to retire to Kansas with April and Gil, he delivers an emotional farewell speech to his friends and family. April goes into labour, and everyone rushes out of the bar to head to the hospital. As they leave, The Today Show with Al Roker is on television, he reports that there are no clouds in the sky at all, an occurrence that will likely never happen again, but warns there may be a tsunami of alligators, but these are less of a threat than sharks. Also starring Brendan Petrizzo as Hologram Gil, M. Steven Felty as D. Brown and Voice of Hologram Gil, Matie Moncea as Gil on Dinosaur, Tiberiu Hansan as Medieval Gil, American Pie's Chris Owen as 30-Year-Old Gil, Aladdin's Gilbert Gottfried as Rand McDonald, Ron McDonald's father, Anthony C. Ferrante (the film's director) as Quint Singer, James Hong as Confucius, Eileen Davidson as Marie Antoinette, Shad Gaspard as Muhammad Ali, Patrick Labyorteaux as Julius Caesar, Gary Busey as Wilford Wexler and Bo Derek as May Wexler. It's pointless mentioning any acting "talent" in the film, there are some well-known faces who don't mind humiliating themselves (deliberately of course), like the other five films it is intentionally trashy and ridiculous, the special effects are cheap and unconvincing, I did not titter at any point like I may have a little in previous entries, there are obvious spoof references, e.g. 2001: A Space Odyssey, Back to the Future, Planet of the Apes ("Planet of the Aprils"), Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back, The Princess Bride, it is knowingly ridiculous and idiotic, I am truly relieved there will be no more of these movies that are a complete waste of time, as the title says "It's About Time", a final unintelligent science-fiction horror. Poor!
