What's this about?

Lately, it seems like many of the movies/shows are just a rehash or reboot of things that have already been done. And so I started to dive into the past. It's been fun, but I find myself losing track of which ones I’ve seen and whether or not I enjoyed them. Sometimes the titles themselves just don't tell me enough to remember.

I wouldn’t have voluntarily watched a lot of these movies when I was younger. It’s strange how interests change. That goes for what I read, too. I have another blog that explores books. I’m mostly reading older fiction and memoirs, and some of the books have led me to movies/shows and vice versa. In those cases, I may post the book review over here as well.

There will be spoilers, which is different than my book reviews. That’s mostly because I want to have enough information to help me remember what I’ve seen. I’m getting older. The brain doesn’t cooperate like it used to. What can I say? The gray hairs are catching up with me!

Sky Sharks - 2020

While the boyfriend was scrolling through the shark movies for his pick (see Shark Huntress), this movie caught my eye. The preview that played on the screen was hilarious. Flying sharks ridden by Nazi zombies?! What the heck?!

So, I guess some researchers found this ship, which awakened these beasts. They take down a passenger plane for no real reason (and they take an unnecessary long time to do that), so the skies are no longer safe.

I have so many regrets for picking this movie. The nudity and sex was unnecessary, and the gore was way too much for our group. Yes, I know it was a horror movie. If it was just the gore, maybe I could've dealt with it.

One thing I'll say is that at least there were sharks. I loved the sharks and their little landing pads in the ship. And those parts of the movie looked surprisingly good. I will give the movie a lot of credit for that. Unfortunately, the story was a mess. Why were the zombies attacking passenger planes? Who was telling them the planes were in the air? Who's the one behind the scenes pulling the strings? And why couldn't they just give the one lady the antidote if they knew she was already infected!?

The ending of this was super weird. When we saw the credits were so long, my daughter fast-forwarded and found the end credit scene. And that just raised more questions. Was I supposed to know who that lady was? Was she trying to give a rousing speech to an army of zombies? Is she trying to create a new Reich for herself and her assistant? I'm sorry to my group of watchers. It was a bad pick.
