Sky Shark provides some cheesy and gory fun, but sadly only for the first 30 minutes or so, after that, especially the mid section, strongly loses momentum (explanation over explanation etc.) and I was finally rather bored. With a better script, focused on the action like in the beginning, Sky Sharks could have been a fine cheesy horror experience. Anyway, if Nazi-horror movies like Iron Sky, Frankenstein's Army, Ghosts of War, Blood Vessel, Overlord, Dead Snow and the like, or games like the Castle Wolfenstein franchise, rings a bell, you may give Sky Sharks a try.

Not Enough Nudity
justanyone13 December 2020
Okay, so it's worth 3.5 / 10 rating, probably, in that the actors all spoke clearly enough to be heard, the script was probably printed ahead of time on paper, no mike booms were visible, and generally the lighting was good enough to see what was happening, most of the time.
My complaint is, there's not NEARLY enough nudity in this picture. I think movies of this ilk could be vastly improved by having just about everyone onscreen do the same performance as before, except naked. They shouldn't acknowledge the nudity, either. They should just do the scene as-is, completely starkers.
This would greatly improve the viewability in that at least the people waiting for nudity will have it, and those interested in the eye candy of the actresses will be able to have their interests met.

The filmmakers don't like critics
e-0985916 August 2021
The movie is every bit as terrible as the title and poster suggests. The filmmakers gathered a lot of names, that are actually well known in Germany, but (with very few exceptions) haven't done anything good in the last decades.
The idea of doing a trashy movie like Sharknado and Iron Sky isnt terrible, but this isn't 2010 anymore. We've seen it over and over and these movies had several sequels while Sky Sharks was announced and did nothing for years.
The filmmakers showed off a critic on Facebook and got a lot of support by their own fanbase. What do you expect. The ones that supported the negative review got blocked. So you know who you deal with here.

Only the filmmakers are worse than the film

Yes, it is hard to make a film.
It is even harder to make a film in Germany.
It is the hardest to make a good film.
I didn't expect Sky Sharks to be good, but it is nearly unwatchable.
But hey, don't tell the filmmakers, because they will feel offended by it. Lie to them, tell them how great this piece of .... is, unless you want to be called out or blocked.
And you guys wonder why German movies have a bad reputation? Not because of the movies, but because of diva-filmmakers like you.
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

About 20 mins into the movie I've felt an urge to look up the name and see a photo of the director of this movie so I can blacklist him and avoid further mistakes.
At first this looked like an Asylum-type movie without the humor part but it got even worse. Dialogs, acting, editing, directing, writing... all terrible, except some decent CGI.
I think some people can't be objective about their own projects. I believe excessive self-confidence drives people into very ridiculous situations. It gets even worse if you don't have any honest friends around you to wake you up and pull you out of your 'psychosis'. Making such movies is a long and gradual process. I wish there were someone at some point to tell the truth and prevent a real disaster from happening.
I gave 1 star for the movie, then raised to 2 for the CGI team.

This movie is so bad lol
jasriv20 February 2021
I could write a long detailed review about how bad this movie is, but let me not waste your time. Do not rent, buy, or otherwise watch this trash of a movie. Don't let the shark and zombie effects trick you into watching this mess.
1* is way too much for this movie
roland-6842016 August 2021
One of the dumbest movies Iv seen this year
jessicartim24 November 2020
Not sure what I was expecting from movie about flying sharks but it was painful to watch. If you enjoyed Iron Sky be aware - this is not in the same league in any way.
Horrid effets, very poor acting, terrible "jokes", no cool music just one big WW2 zombie meme made by bunch of kids.
Don't waste your time.
Not even drugs would help
zelobinksy18 August 2021
I am a huge shark, zombie and horror fab. This film did nothing but waste my time, the cgi is horrific that of a low budget 2000 movie, the direction lacks continuity.
The only positive is the attractive baked women...

Loved it , doesn't deserve the low ratings.
arrmeen2 December 2020
This movie is made for fun, it's not a movie which is to be taken seriously like some so called critics on IMDb are doing and it doesn't deserve such a low rating.
It has good fun elements, lots of CGI , gore and blood for gorehouuds, and good looking women with super bodies. What more do you want for entertainment? Relax enjoy the ride , it doesn't disappoint or bore like some so called slow burn horror movies, which are highly rated for nothing.
Hell I even want a sequel, thank you for making this movie during these boring times.
Nazi zombies riding on the back of flying megalodons? What's not to like?...
paul_haakonsen13 December 2020
Right, well the 2020 movie "Sky Sharks" is exactly one of those movies. You know, a movie that is actually so bad that it turns into a good and enjoyable movie.
I mean, the storyline here is about Nazi zombies threatening the world riding on the back of genetically altered megalodon sharks that flies and carries heavy weaponry. Yeah, I know, right? It sounds really bad, and if you look at it objectively, then it is. But the thing is, that director Marc Fehse managed to keep the movie so outrageous that it was actually rather enjoyable. Sure, it was campy and goofy, but it proved to be good entertainment nonetheless.
And of course, Nazi zombies is usually always a blast to watch, as it was in "Sky Sharks".
The storyline was pretty straight forward and easy to follow. Sure, it was out there, way out there. But that was the enjoyable part of it, because this is a movie that doesn't really take itself serious. Fast-paced action and a good amount of gore to satisfy seasoned gore-hounds such as myself.
I actually enjoyed the effects and the visuals in "Sky Sharks" quite a bit. Lots of good zombie make-up, good special effects, and lots of really interesting concepts going on throughout the movie.
If you enjoyed movies like "Iron Sky" or "Sharknado", then chances are high that you will most certainly also enjoy "Sky Sharks". I must admit that when I sat down to watch "Sky Sharks", I didn't really expect it to turn out being as good as it was. So I was more than genuinely surprised and entertained by this movie.
My rating of "Sky Sharks" lands on a six out of ten stars. I can honestly say that you should watch "Sky Sharks", especially if you like non-mainstream movies that border on being bizarre.

Another worst horror film! Full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Not recommended!
kwenchow2 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This film start with a bunch of passengers talking in a plane, and a bunch of Nazi's zombie army riding the flying shark, killing all the passengers scene! As turnout, this film is about a scientist "Dr. Klaus" need to be the avatar of the so called "Dead Flesh Force" to defeat the Nazi's zombie army with flying shark! Entire film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the annoying sound effect scene, overuse of the annoying song playing at the background scene, overuse of the slow motion scene, overuse of the flashbacks scene, overuse of the commercial break scene, overuse of the news broadcasting scene, overuse of the injection scene, overuse of the blackout scene, and overuse of the video conferencing scene! Make the film unwatchable! All the killing scene quite bloody, but full of slow motion, and messy! Make the film quite frustrated to watch! At the end, Dr. Klaus shot down all the Nazi's zombie army with flying shark! Still have a post credit scene! Myriad of Nazi's zombie army commanding by a female leader! That's it! Another disappointed film!
I wanted to like it.......
s327616924 November 2020
I wanted to like "Sky Sharks" in the same way I wanted to like "Iron Sky 2".
Regrettably, in my view both have one flaw in common. A disjointed story, that tries to squeeze in far too many creative ideas. The end result is a tale that "hot foots it" from one idea to another. There's little in the way of lead in with plot holes so large, you could park a Panzer tank in them.
The result for the poor viewer, is hefty doses, of cognitive dissonance. Or put another way the story's a hot mess.
Other shortcomings include gratuitous, sensationalist violence and sex, that detracted even more from this flick.
On the upside the idea is a novel one, that mixes similar concepts from cheesy films like "Surf Nazi's Must Die (1987)" and the "Sharknado" film franchise. Its a fun, clever, mash up, that could have worked really well with more modest, measured handling.
Equally, some of the visuals are pretty decent too and once again, hint at the potential that lies within this way out and wacky concept.
In summary, this is marginally watchable. That said, if splatter films with lots of clumsy sex scenes, is not really your thing and you like a coherent story, in my opinion this might not be for you.
4/10.

Not enough Nazi
QueenoftheGoons11 May 2021
I give 1 star for Principe as the Nazi zombie riding a shark. He was in it for what - 2 minutes? Too much trash, too many chicks, too many Hildegards, the sex was pure trash, i mean all in all it was just stupid. The blood was fake, the kills were stupid. Okay where's the sharks? 5 minutes. Why wasn't Udo in it instead of some egghead. The plot and everything was one of the worst. Really? I got Naziexploitations from the 70's better than this. Principe is easy on those eyes on here though, kind of like Orjan - only looks good when he's donned a Nazi.

Garbage...
ejmc1116 September 2021
I thing the writers, producers, director, and anyone involved it making this movie should have gotten better drugs beforehand. A better title would have been "What Were We Thinking?" or perhaps "Never make a Movie Before Finishing Kindergarten". Pass, run, ignore, save yourself!

There are times in movie-watching life when you just know you shouldn't torture yourself by watching the whole thing...and for me, this was one of them.
I gave it 1 point because you have to, and for the over the top concept and beginning, but after that, it's just beyond pathetic.
Atrocious acting and script don't help, nor does the fact that it's obvious attempts are humour fail miserably. It really does seem like it was all the work of a drooling teenage boy getting his masturbatory fantasies onto the big screen.
The only possible grounds I can think of for sitting though the entirety of this, is you you're trying to punish yourself for some heinous act.

hellfranz8919 December 2020
We can talk all day about the bad writing, the overabundance of cgi, the amateurish acting etc etc....but this is a self aware silly movie, and it's not as lazy as many of the asylum flicks in the same ball-park. All the opposite, actually, maybe they tried too hard to jam as many "cool" scenes as possible in between boring and badly acted "plot"- progressing scenes: as a result the pacing could have been a lot better. Only for the true fans of B Movies.
It's really really bad, but in a good way.
PROS: lots of gore, boobs, sharks and zombie-nazis CONS: bad acting, bad writing, it drags a lot in between action scenes

DONT LISTEN TO THE 1/10 REVIEWS ... ITS NOT FOR THEM
adamtate1325 November 2020
Had to do a quick review as the 1/10 reviews are from people who just don't get it.
If you believe there isn't enough movies with Flying Robot Sharks piloted by Nazi Zombies, then this is definitely for you.
This is a homage to Grindhouse and is probably best compared to something like Planet Terror, which I also thought was great. The people who gave it a 1/10 simply don't understand the genre.
It is an insane, tongue-in-cheek gore-fest that doesn't take itself seriously with surprisingly good effects ... has to be good as the effects were done by the legendary Tom Savini (who did the effects for the original Friday 13th, original Halloween, original Dawn of the Dead etc. and many other classic horror movies). It has the over-the-top fire-hose of blood when limbs or heads are cut off, just like in Kill Bill and Planet Terror and all those great old 80's splatter movies. The gore is more comical, not off-putting or disturbing.
It gets 10/10 for originality... you have never seen anything remotely similar. Overall I'd give it a solid 7/10 but have given an 9/10 to balance reviews from people who simply shouldn't review such a movie.

oosixRaven6 February 2021
This was actually better than I thought.
I mean , if you're coming in looking for a captivating story and amazing plot, you're not watching the right movie. It delivered exactly what it said it would. Evil undead nazi's riding sky sharks.
I enjoyed the over the top bloody special effects. They did not hold back when it came to gore and blood. There were some seriously creative deaths in this movie. The Soundtrack was pretty awesome too.
It has bumped Sharknado off for best cheesy shark movie. Take a bite out of this one folks. It's not as bad as you think it is.
With the impressive gore, over the top crazy story, a lil horror nudity and it's rockin soundtrack. Sky Sharks rocked a solid 6.

Don't waste your time on this movie
hp-4053423 August 2023
This is the worst movie I saw in my entire life. The story is okay, but the director somehow make this movie unwatchable. I don't to explain the details, but if you watch this one due to the good reputation of shaknedo, don't expect this movie is similar. I cannot image who invest this movie see this kind of product.
There are too many unnecessary animations in this movie and seems the director just want torture all the actors by killing them in different disgusting ways. I personal feel the director must have some mental issues such that he produce this kind of sick movie. I have to say again, don't waste your time on this bad movie.

Ckn485 February 2021
OK so others have suggested this is to be taken as tongue in cheek but still that whole point of a movie is it needs to be believable, else, it's pointless.
There is no action in this movie. There is no Plot The animation is on a par with Sharknado The sound is ok
Not really sure why people bother putting out stuff like this. some of the reviewers wanted more nudity, which I would have though would put this into porn movie territory.
The sharks are meant to be able to turn invisible The sharks are meant to have anti gravity The sharks are meant to have jets strapped to them
These sharks are able to travel at 700 miles per hour at 30,000 feet at -30 degrees centigrade without water for their gills. They have zombie super soldiers riding them. Even assuming the sharks are zombie and super sharks and don't need water to breath, the temp & air speed is ridiculous.
Even disregarding the sharks and super soldiers, These plains flying at 30000 feet don't suffer sudden decompression even when the hulls of their planes are penetrated.
Some of the animation in the final battle scene is actually quite good, its a shame its let down by a bad plot and script.

Appalling doesn't really describe how bad this production is
stewartlehr14 November 2021
I watched this production whilst I was in day surgery having an infusion. It was so bad I had more entertainment with a tube sticking out of my vein.
Acting: 1/10 Production: 0/10 Scripting: 0/10
My medical procedure: 10/10
Summary: Life is too short to waste on this horrible production. Please note I refuse to use the word "movie" as you might confuse it with other productions. I sincerely believe this is the worst of the worst. Get your phone and video a crawling cockroach and that would be more entertaining.
I absolutely refuse to give this a rating. There are no spoilers in this review because I purposely refrained from describing the story behind it because there nothing to describe. Now I feel nauseous even providing a review.
