Sharknado

Sharknado is a film that would make Roger Corman proud. I mean that in the best possible way. Sure it is cheesy (as all SYFY originals are) but underneath the cheese is a pretty solid natural disaster movie like The Posiedon Adventure or The Perfect Storm. The film is less about a swirling cloud of sharks than it is about people dealing with a worst case scenario weather situation. It remains fun with plenty of nods to everyone's favorite big fish story but manages to put the characters into some harrowing situations that make you wonder how they will get out of them. The effects are what you would expect from SYFY but for me they did not distract from the story. If you enjoyed Shark Night or Bait then I think you will have fun with Sharknado.
