The Last Sharknado: It's About Time (2018)

The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time is the kind of gloriously unhinged finale that knows exactly what it is: a loud, fast, cheerfully ridiculous victory lap that somehow becomes more satisfying the more impossible it gets. By adding time travel to its already airborne-shark mayhem, it finds a fresh engine for nonstop action and rapid-fire jokes, while still letting Fin, April, and Nova feel like actual people you can root for amid the chaos. Director Anthony C. Ferrante keeps the energy high and the storytelling surprisingly coherent for a movie this committed to absurdity, so you’re not just watching random spectacle—you’re riding a steady wave of escalating, wink-at-the-camera fun. It’s not for viewers who need realism or subtlety, but if you want a TV-movie blockbuster vibe with gleeful carnage played for laughs and a franchise-ready sense of closure, this one delivers.

The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time is clearly trying to give the franchise a big, goofy victory lap by throwing time travel, historical pit stops, and ever-louder shark chaos into one last “anything goes” finale. The problem is the joke is pretty much running on fumes by this point, so what’s left is a noisy pileup of callbacks and random gags that feel more like obligation than inspiration. If you’re hoping for clever escalation, tighter storytelling, or even a so-bad-it’s-brilliant spark, this one can play more like a frantic checklist than a movie. Still, if you’ve stuck with Fin this long and just want mindless, blood-splattery absurdity with a few fan-service moments, it delivers exactly that—and nothing deeper.
