It&#8217;s why Shark Week is a television staple, and movies like <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/shark-week-expert-weighs-jaws-022829184.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Jaws helped create a real fear;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Jaws helped create a real fear&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\"><em>Jaws<\/em> helped create a real fear<\/a> of the species as a whole. I understand why whoever made <em>Thrash<\/em> feels they needed sharks to make a movie more exciting. Unfortunately, it distracts from the real killer of the movie by a significant margin, flooding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Even the best disaster movies sometimes overshadow the fact that flooding, especially on the scale that we see in <em>Thrash<\/em>, is responsible for a significant loss of life. I kept waiting for the movie to put more focus on that as a threat, but it seemed to fall by the wayside the more that sharks were worked into the story. I just feel like this movie could&#8217;ve stood out in a bigger way, being a legitimately scary movie about people trying to survive a flood. We already have a film franchise about people surviving natural disasters amidst shark attacks, and less of the former.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Lisa floating in water waiting for oncoming shark while baby floats in background in Netflix's Thrash\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/Oz4Hls2nZuHTHodGF_QBhw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cinemablend_388\/346ca4b054725a0e0800f74a5c54fa8e\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Credit: Netflix<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">With Sharks, Thrash Just Feels Like A Worse Version Of Sharknado<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">To me, <em>Thrash<\/em> felt like a worse version of <em>Sharknado<\/em>. I should mention as well, that while those movies leaned into the camp, the first movie has a better Rotten Tomatoes score than <em>Thrash<\/em>. I think there&#8217;s something to that, honestly, and it may be because the latter of the two doesn&#8217;t lean into camp in the way I expected it to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In fairness, the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/television\/2395221\/the-sharknado-film-series-is-finally-ending-and-time-travel-is-involved\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Sharknado franchise has been over for years;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Sharknado franchise has been over for years&quot;}\" class=\"link \"><em>Sharknado<\/em> franchise has been over for years<\/a>, so maybe it was time for another movie franchise to rise up and replace it. Then again, if I&#8217;m the person with the rights to <em>Sharknado<\/em>, I&#8217;m looking at <em>Thrash<\/em>&#8216;s success and seeing it might be time to get the band back together for a reboot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I think, cards on the table, I went into <em>Thrash<\/em> thinking <em>Sharknado<\/em> was the gold standard it had to live up to, and felt disappointed. Not everyone is going to feel that way, and I&#8217;d be lying if I said I was going to skip out on a sequel should it come out.
