The Story:
Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) comes back home to Perfection NV. Apparently, the graboids have returned as well. Also returning is everyone from the original movie that survived that isn't Fred Ward or Kevin Bacon. This time, they call in the Feds for help, and in typical government fashion, they decide that these creatures should be protected. Naturally, this doesn't sit well with the residents, and when the Shriekers evolve into something much, much worse.
Well, that was fun!
No really for what it was, a sequel to a sequel, which apparently also served as a pilot for a short-lived television series, it's pretty good. Again, the tongue is firmly in cheek for everything they do, and yet they have a good time doing it.
That they brought everyone back was a nice touch. Even pogo-sticking Mindy (Ariana Richards) returns.
They introduce the new "fun hero", Desert Jack Sawyer (Shawn Christian) who fakes Graboid tours to make money, but is thrust deep into helping Burt when the real deals come back to town.
Good fun all around, and a franchise that never sunk too low to sully the franchise name.
If that was possible.
: )
This is Tremors after all.
Available to stream instantly on Netflix as of this writing.
There is of course a prequel which is not available for streaming. Hmmm....
Final Grade: C+
Would I Own It: Hmmm... if all the Tremors movies were on a disc... I could be persuaded. :)
