THE LAST SHARKNADO IT'S ABOUT TIME

Cinemavixion Review

The fifth installment in the "Sharknado" franchise, "The Last Sharknado: It's About Time" (2018), plunges audiences back into the delightfully absurd world of airborne sharks. Directed by Anthony C. Ferrante, this film sees protagonist Fin (Ian Ziering) travel back in time to prevent the original Sharknado event, thereby saving humanity from its fin-tastic fate. He reunites with his familiar shark-battling companions, including April (Tara Reid) and Nova (Cassandra Scerbo), for another round of over-the-top action and creature feature chaos. While the series is known for its B-movie charm and tongue-in-cheek approach, "It's About Time" leans heavily into its time-travel premise, offering a meta-narrative that playfully references its own franchise history. Critics, as reflected in its 27% score on Rotten Tomatoes, have often found the series to be more of a guilty pleasure than a cinematic masterpiece, with this entry often cited for its escalating absurdity. Despite its divisive reception, the film delivers the expected dose of schlocky entertainment for dedicated fans of the "Sharknado" phenomenon, proving once again that some cinematic storms are best weathered with a sense of humor.
