Critics Consensus

Sharknado: The 4th Awakens loses the ridiculous charm of its predecessors, leaving only clumsy social commentary and monotonous schtick that's lost its bite.

A joke might be funny the first time, but by the fourth time you hear it, the punchline gets tired.

The Fourth Awakens proves merely another piece of dreary detritus to take up residence at the bottom of the pop-culture barrel.

What was once a guilty pleasure has now said farewell to the pleasure part of that equation, and what's left is just so much light and noise that sweeps away the things to appreciate.

1.5/5

[T]he series has bought into its own viral appeal and now tries way too hard to one-up itself.

This fourth installment is just not good quality. I walked away from this movie and didn’t think twice about it.

This movie is different from the others; here, things become more ridiculous because the focus isn't just on the sharks but also on the new disasters. I really liked this movie; I watched it with my friends, and we felt like we were part of the movie. We loved that feeling.
