Another entry in violent, played-out sci-fi series.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 14, 2017

The Fourth Awakens proves merely another piece of dreary detritus to take up residence at the bottom of the pop-culture barrel.

Things just weren't as fun this time around.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Aug 3, 2016

Whatever absurd delights this series once could boast have long since been stripped of their tiny joys and ground into dust by the weight of encroaching, ceaseless, incredibly cynical commercialism.

Long gone is Parts 1 and 2's wry delivery of witty-ish dialogue, replaced instead with expected gags - save for an actually engaging scene where Fin and April sorted through the subterfuge and lies they each had been fed during her five-year absence.

What was once a guilty pleasure has now said farewell to the pleasure part of that equation, and what's left is just so much light and noise that sweeps away the things to appreciate.

| Original Score: F | Aug 1, 2016

The 4th Awakens gives off the impression that the Sharknado franchise has locked into groove where it can give its fans more to talk about on social media while staying true to its B-movie creature feature/disaster film roots.

Even if you hate these movies, you have to at least kind of admire the mythology it's tried to carve...

While fans of the series may get something out of the sequel, there is nothing on display that could possibly sway naysayers.

What can you say about a film in which Gary Busey -- yes, that Gary Busey -- turns in the best performance?This franchise finally jumps the sharknado.

With Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, this B movie series most definitely - wait for it - jumps the shark.

| Jul 27, 2016

Part four becomes a full-on superhero movie and who doesn't want to see a Sharknado version of a superhero movie?
