SHARKNADO 4 - THE 4TH AWAKENS

Cinemavixion Review

Anthony C. Ferrante's "Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens" continues the franchise's tradition of embracing the absurd with a gleeful disregard for conventional filmmaking. Set five years after the last apocalyptic shark-infused weather event, the narrative sees Fin Shepard and his family once again thrust into a battle against nature's most improbable menace. The film leans heavily into its B-movie roots, offering a spectacle that is more about the sheer audacity of its premise than any profound cinematic statement. While critical reception, as indicated by a 14% on Rotten Tomatoes, suggests a lack of mainstream appeal, the film delivers exactly what its dedicated fanbase expects: over-the-top action, cheesy dialogue, and a relentless parade of flying sharks. It's a testament to the series' unique niche that it can still generate buzz, even if it's often for its outlandishness rather than its artistic merit.
