This film contains one of the greatest sight gags ever.
Near the end, the protagonist is being blown around inside a tornado, surrounded by flying sharks and robot future sharks, while being attacked by a future robot version of his wife, who in turn is being blasted by the second robot head of his future wife but from an earlier future, who's head is being heald in the mouth of flying shark, while she is blasting lasers from her eyes.
All around them are historical figures killing flying sharks, and he's suddenly hit by a flying kitchen sink..
It's up there with Shatner's door gag in Airplane2.
Watch this and enjoy.

Plot summary
With humankind brought to its knees after the inconceivable Shark Armageddon in Sharknado 5: Global Swarming (2017),the veteran shark hunter, Fin Shepard, finds himself in need of a bigger chainsaw. Stranded in a strange far-off land, Fin comes face-to-face with the unfathomable complications of the devastating Sharkzilla, as the unsteady leaps through time of an unexpected but dear traveller have breached the space-time continuum, setting in motion the ultimate rescue mission beyond the physical reality. As a result, Fin, and a handful of battle-hardened comrades-in-arms, have to harness the miracle of time and strike at the root of evil: the original Sharknado (2013),and Mother of all shark-infused vortices. Now, to make history, Fin must first rewrite history. Is the world prepared for the dawn of a new age, and the end of the last Sharknado?

What did you expect?
Back in time...hopefully for the last time
The first two 'Sharknado' movies were not great and had a lot wrong with them, but they were guilty pleasure fun as long as not taken seriously. 'Sharknado 3' however was a let-down, it lacks the fun and charm of the first two as a result of being too self-aware and trying far too hard, really wanted to not take this seriously and view it as a guilty pleasure but it was just too amateurish and tired. A notion that was present and multiplied in 'Sharknado 4' that indicated the novelty was wearing off. The fifth film was an improvement but that feeling remained.
A feeling that can not only be seen clear as day in 'The Last Sharknado: It's About Time' but here there is a real sense that the franchise has well and truly run its course and past its sell by date. For me, it is the worst of the series and here's to hoping that it lives up to its title in being the last 'Sharknado' film. Nothing fresh, fun or inspired here. There is even more of a sense that the franchise has gone too far and that the novelty value that was there in the first two films has worn off. Even when one tries to take it for what it's trying to be (it is clear that it is not to be taken seriously),it generally just falls flat.
Ian Ziering continues to be likable and charismatic in the lead role, he plays it straight but still looks like he's having fun with the role. There is some nice scenery and an energetic and eerie music score.
Some of the references, while obvious, are fun and create a sense of nostalgia.
Very little else works. Tara Reid continues to be unspeakably awful, her facial expressions look so expressionless and very forced in the few times she tries, her line delivery is mechanical and she constantly looks ill at ease. Other references are not as clever as they think and induce a groan in how they are written and there was a sense that the cameos were too many, with a lot of them being too short, pointless and screaming of "what the heck" in bizarre roles to take on.
Even for low-budget, 'The Last Sharknado: It's About Time' is very shoddy stuff. The scenery is pretty good but the film is shot in a very rushed-looking and drab way, editing is sloppy as well as choppy and the shark special effects are typical dreadfully artificial Asylum/SyFy fare. Regarding the shark scene, that the sharks have little personality let alone menace (the plastic surgery on display is scarier than them) hurts them and even more so the unintentional silliness comes at the expense of thrills and suspense, which are nowhere in sight, and gets tiresome.
The film is directed flatly, the energy and enthusiasm in the pacing is missing and there are too many cardboard characters that are difficult to give a toss about. The first two films had some great funny lines, but the script here contains little remotely amusing or memorable and instead feels stale and tiresomely cheesy, especially one of the most insultingly nonsensical endings in recent memory.
Like with the story, which is thin, aimless in some scenes and far too more of the same with very little freshness to make that forgivable. It's further not helped by trying too hard being dopey fun and in the process taking itself too seriously at times that any life is sucked out intended to have some originality but are just cheap and ridiculous.
Concluding, very weak even when trying to take it for what it was meant to be. 3/10 Bethany Cox
Destroying the space/time continuum
Thank God it's over although I have to admit since there were six Sharknado movies made for the ScyFy channel somebody out there had to be watching them.
Ian Ziering and his band of merry Sharknado fighters go back in time and space to possibly destroy the Sharknados before they come into existence.
In case you mercifully haven't seen the other films a sharknado is a shark who can take to the air like a flying fish and they move with the speed of a cheetah. They burst upon the scene in the first film and threaten humankind's very existence.
Unless you've seen all the films you can't follow the story. Even then it might be a challenge.
Are you up for it?
