Sharknado 4 - The 4th Awakens

It is important to live life. Do the things you want to do, explore the world, and meet different cultures. And no matter what you like to do, there is one thing i believe we all need to experience at one point in our lives.

The one thing we all need to experience, to let our souls be filled with love and passion, is to watch Sharknado. Ever since i started watching the Sharknado films, i became a better husband, i felt more joy in my heart, i understood what life is all about. Sharknado have changed million of peoples lives. It is one of the greatest experiences we can all be a part of. From the first film, and the sequels, i have noticed that i am more spiritual than ever. Forget about Yoga, meditation, just go for Sharknado to feel relaxed. Sharknade became a phenomenon back in 2013, when a small film called Sharknado was shown at SyFy Channel. The film exploded on social media, and everyone talked about Sharknado. No matter where you went online, no matter what bus you were on, everyone all ages loved talking about Sharknado. With the lead actors Ian Ziering and Tara Reid, as the heroic shark killers, fighting against tornados with sharks, you know that the concept was brilliant. The second film Sharknado 2 - The Second One, became even bigger, with a lot more viewers and also exploded on social media. The cast was bigger, the cameos became even larger, and the film was even better than the first film. SyFy Channel knew they had to keep the fans pleased, so of course there was a third film released, simply called Sharknado 3 - Oh Hell No!. This third film continued to bring more shark tornados, more action and a lot of great cameos. We were also introduced to the new character Colonel Gilbert, played by wonderful David Hasselhoff. Since the third film did really well with the viewer numbers on SyFy Channel, and was loved by fans worldwide, we all knew that we would see the gang back. And here we are, Sharknado 4 is here, and the cameos is one again incredible. The director of the previous Sharknado films, Anthony C. Ferrante, is back as the director and the main characters Fin and April are also back. For every film so far, you know there will always be some surprises to be found. So i was really hoping that this fourth film would please me, as the previous film have done. Is this the greatest sequel of all time, or is is time to let the Sharknado film series end for good ?

5 years have passed, and Fin ( Ian Ziering ) is now living in a farm in Kansas named " April´s Acres ". Here he is living with his mother Raye ( Cheryl Tiegs ) and his young son Gil ( Anthony Rogers ). April is believed to be dead, after being crushed by the wreckage of a space shuttle. Tech mogul Aston Reynolds ( Tommy Davidsson ) have developed a new type of high-speed space travel, with his company Astro-X. April´s father Colonel Gilbert ( David Hasselhoff ) was saved from space, thanks to Astro-X. With technology from Astro-X, radio waves can be used to defuse any tornado. Fin decide to travel to Las Vegas with his cousin Gemini ( Masiela Lushi ), to meet up with his son Matt ( Cody Linley ), who have returned home, after being away in Iraq. When a sandstorm tornado go towards Las Vegas, Astro-X can not stop it, because it is a completely different tornado. Sharks are picked up into the tornado, from a shark themed hotel nearby. Chaos have just broken out, and Fin have to find a way to fight against these beasts once more. April ( Tara Reid ) is not dead, because her father Wilford Wexler ( Gary Busey ) brought her back, and reconstructed her into a cyborg. Fin and April team up once again, to fight against the Sharknado storms coming their way.

If you have seen the previous Sharknado films, you know there will be lots of action, bad dialogue, bad special effects, and a hell of a lot of cameos from legendary stars. I won´t go into this too much, because i think it is more fun to see the cameos for yourself. But it is one of the things i really enjoy about the Sharknado franchise, every film brings Hollywood stars we all have seen on tv, in films, or even as musicians. The most important detail, why i love the Sharknado films, is because they are completely insane. And you got to admit that sharks in tornados might be the greatest idea, since electricity was discovered in the 18th century. The main actors Ian Ziering and Tara Reid, returning as Fin Shepard and April Shepard. There is something special, seeing these 2 legendary actors coming back, fighting sharks. For every film, it seems that there are still many wonderful ideas, how to fight Sharknados, with all kinds of weapons and gadgets. You also get to see different kinds of tornados with sharks this time, as these Sharknados develope and become more complicated. David Hasselhoff is also back as Colonel Gilbert, making another wonderful performance. He truly is one of the greatest actors of Hollywood. One of the biggest surprises is to see Gary Busey here, one of the most intelligent men on this planet. His role as April´s father Willie, is a must see. Gary always deliver, no matter what he does. You already know that the plot does not matter, or how bad some special effects are, because all you care about is to be entertained. And this is why i love the Sharknado franchise. It is all about having fun, and making fun of insane ideas. If you can´t see the point with Sharknado, you wont change your mind about this 4th one. This time we get more action, and plenty of sharks attacks, with a list of cameos, just as long as Anders Timell´s curly hair. Sharknado 4 is a film that is made for the love of the fans. Without the fans worldwide, the love for these films would not be as big as it is now. No matter how many sequels that will come out, i have to thank director Anthony C. Ferrante for doing these films. He is the main key to why we have the Sharknado films, and he should have his own star on the Hollywood walk of fame. In fact, i also think Ian Ziering and Tara Reid should both be nominated at The Golden Globe Awards for their performances. Sharknado 4 is an action feast for B movie lovers, and for all of those who loves insane shark action. If you loved the previous films, you are going to love this one also. Buy all the Sharknado films for your family this christmas, because everyone knows, Santa Clause loves Sharknado more than the christmas spirit. Ok, he loves the chainsaw also, but that´s another story.
