Sharknado had a tornado filled with sharks with not much more special effects budget, and that was 13 years ago (how the time flies- like sharks in a tornado). We not trying to win Academy Awards for VFX with these demakes.

Waterworld is unfairly maligned and I won't stand for it. Yo you should watch it, seriously

Sharknado is pretty fun, competently made in my complete amateur opinion.

What I meant is in Waterworld they did that shit for real.

I have watched Waterworld. There is a lot to like (concept, practical effects, Hopper as the villain), but there is a lot lacking (writing, about something, also Hopper as the villain). They should have finished the script instead of barreling ahead. They needed someone in the room to manage Costner's ego. It's a very mid Mad Max "inspired" film, of which the 80s/90s had many. The Salute of the Jugger/The Blood of Heroes is about on par and it didn't cost the GDP of a small nation.
