With a bitter taste in the mouth, knowing that the Sharknado crisis is far from over yet, Fin and April travel to London after the events of Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens (2016), as Nova Clarke's fact-finding expedition accidentally triggers a wave of ferocious and bigger-than-ever Sharknadoes. As a result, with prehistoric Stonehenge as the epicentre of the unstoppable new menace, Fin's young son, Gil, gets sucked into the heart of the brutal cyclone, with minimal chances of survival. Now, Fin Shepard, humankind's dauntless chainsaw-wielding hero, and his intrepid bionic wife, April, must track down a complex and omnipotent vortex formation that rapidly transforms into something unimaginable: an ever-growing Sharknado of global proportions. This time, Fin and April have their work cut out for them, in a perilous mission across the four corners of the world. Who shall live and who shall die when the fifth awakens?

| TV LineMatt Webb MitovichI'll say this much about sometimes-monotonous Sharknado 5: Global Swarming: it was a slight improvement on last year's completely monotonous The 4th Awakens. |

| StarburstMichael Coldwell[Ziering] may be wise-cracking his way through this stuff with a self-aware smirk, but look deep into his eyes and you'll see something else staring back this movie can only dream about: blind terror. |
| Common Sense MediaBrian CostelloYet another horrible sequel in tired, violent sci-fi series. |
| User ReviewMatt KThis was simply amazing. Little tip, get drunk as much as you possibly can, then watch it!!! Also take 5 stars with discretion ... |
| User ReviewAdam CYou know what, we're here, why not give it 5 stars. |
| User ReviewSharon HPeople dont understand the point of the movie is to be bad and cheesy and its not a satire. It was made to be like this originally. this movie was hilarious with all the ad effects |
| User ReviewCindy BI loved this movis more than I should. I love them all, but this one was fun, fast, and mind numbing. It was perfection. Am I smelling an Oscar???? I think so!!! |
