It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
I mean one always wonders who these people are who watch infomercials for 30 minutes at a time. Well, here is our answer. It is more fun and interesting to watch an infomercial compared to this.I do give three stars for the hardbods and the chick who promises sex to the ski-doo race winner, but what a tease this movie is. Give me a break. Show us what we want to see!So a tease, no real action, the story is clichéd and a corrupt copper... OK whatever
This is what happens when a movies like Sharknado 1-3 make money and become successful. Sharknado has spawned more copycats, hopefuls and plain old rip-offs, than any other movie franchise out there. Aside from that, this movie was what you would expect from the title and the rating. Typical B-rated SFX. Typical B-rated script, story and acting. The casting is right out of a B-Horror For Dummies self help book. My opinion of this movie is what I would say about most of these movies, it entertained me enough to watch it until the end. I laughed, I cried, I took a dump. You know, that old chestnut. If you enjoy the genre you don't really need me to tell you anything. This is a B-Horror guide followed step by step. Enjoy.
I have no idea why this is rated so low, this movie to me defines "so bad it's good" with cheesy acting and plot and dialog and terrible Special FX that you just can't help but to laugh at.The plot on IMDb says "Avalanche Sharks tells the story of a bikini contest that turns into a horrifying affair when it is hit by a shark avalanche." This is not entirely true, there is no bikini contest taking place, there are women in bikinis tho but yeah the plot is not correct.But really who goes into this type of movie for the plot? I know I don't, I go in for it for the pure entertainment value and it provides plenty of entertainment, so therefor I give it a 6, despite not being a technically "good movie".If you want to be scared: look elsewhere, if you want to have a fun time: this will suffice.
To be honest, I suffered through watching most of this movie here and there throughout the past year or so whenever it was airing on television. Although there was worldwide shock and awe with Sharknado (which was so cheesy and irrational that it was funny), they should have kept it at that and left it as a classic cheesy movie. But no, instead they start creating a whole bunch of shark movies...so much so, that the original value of Sharknado is now lost.Avalanche Sharks is obviously a very cheesy film. But of all cheesy films, it is horribly executed. The CGI is terrible, and the story is just a piece of garbage. To be honest, how can you even imagine sharks living in the snow? At least with Sharknado, they were picked up and tossed around in the tornadoes to terrorize people in the city. Here, sharks are swimming in snow...do the writers even have brains?Anyway, if you're looking for a cheesy movie, this one delivers for the first few minutes. After that, it loses its charm, if there was any in the first place. This Sharknado spin-off is definitely a disaster worse than any avalanche could ever pull off.
