Colton West must defeat the lavalantulas once again. On the set for his latest adventure movie, Colton West, now a busy and demanding protagonist, is unaware that her stepdaughter, Raya, is spending a sunny weekend off with friends on the other side of Florida, in Fort Lauderdale. It's been already one year since the last sighting of the dreadful Lavalantulas when unexpectedly, familiar explosions and massive sinkholes will give birth to the ugly arachnids–only this time–a new wave of a faster, meaner and more evolved breed of mutated tarantulas can't wait to obliterate the city. Under those circumstances, Colton will set out to protect his family once again; however, with an uncooperative Colonel who keeps standing in his way and his crew stuck in the Everglades, will he be able to do what he is best at before everything is lost? Seriously, who would watch this movie without knowing its absurdity so being critical is in itself a tad absurd. That said, it's way better than Sharknado 4, which is a good thing. Granted I'm only half way through and don't know the ending yet but know enough to say this is indeed a fun movie. Why does Steve Guttenberg growl and grunt? Maybe because in the film he plays an actor and he's digging the role? IDK. Not sure I care. But every now and then under his breath he speaks normally so in some way it's hysterical. The writing is witty and often times laugh out loud and for a Syfy movie that's saying something. Special effects are the usual TV sort and nothing special but in my opinion thus far and mid-way through, the script and the acting save this movie. Better than most I've seen from this channel. If you can get past the fact that we're all a bit older from our 'Academy' days you might get a spider kick out of this. Better than the first one I'd say but I may edit upon finishing. The sequel continues in Sharknado fashion.<br/><br/>Guttenberg travels to Miami to save Florida from the gargantulantula. Michael Winslow, also from Police Academy fame is better utilized in this film, at one time he even imitates Scotty from Star Trek. There are many films which are spoofed, perhaps the most famous and notable is "Dr. Stangelove." The franchise is attracting better stars than before, and will soon be an A-lister cameo haven.<br/><br/>Asylum/SyFy made for TV
