utgard14 Third movie in the Tremors series returns back to the town that started it all: Perfection, Nevada. Returning from the previous two movies is Michael Gross as Burt Gummer. Gross got as much mileage as he could out of the role of Burt but it's admittedly wearing a little thin by this point. Also returning is Ariana Richards, who was a little girl in the first Tremors movie. She's all grown up here and it's cool to see her back. She was probably my favorite part of the movie. This is a mostly enjoyable monster flick but not as good as the second movie and not even on the same planet as the highly entertaining first Tremors. This one relies heavily on comedy and likability of its cast, which is probably smart considering the obvious effects limitations. This was made for video, after all. This is also the movie that introduces the poorly-conceived "Ass Blaster" Graboid. I guess they didn't use that in the title for fear it would be confused with a porno.

SnoopyStyle Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) has become a super Graboid hunter. He's come back to Perfection Nevada. Some of the original actors are back such as a grown up Ariana Richards and Tony Genaro. Desert Jack Sawyer (Shawn Christian) is running a tourist scam Graboid safari. There seems to be no more real ones left until the safari gets attack by one. When the government declare them an endangered species, Burt can't hunt anymore unless he captures a live one for the government.It starts slow. Burt's got a bigger gun to shoot but after that nothing much happens for a long time. And now there's a new third stage in the evolution of the Graboids. Let's face it. Assblasters are stupid, silly, and hilarious.While Burt is a great side character in the first one, being a one man show is just not enough. He doesn't get much support from anybody. While it's nice to see Tony Genaro again, Ariana Richards is stuck hiding for much of the 2nd half of the movie. The group desperately needs a female presence and the Chinese chick can't satisfy that need. When you put a hunky male lead Shawn Christian in the group, you have to balance it with a hot chick.

canadian58 Assblasters. Of all the things in the monster/horror genre, this is a new concept. This new Tremors is just as much fun to watch as the first two, although much sillier and even more unbelievable than underground man-eating worms, and their offspring the "shriekers." If you only thought the first two movies were "ok" then don't even bother with this one. Only true Graboid fans will enjoy it. One of the things I liked most about Tremors 3 was the return of most of the original cast from the first movie, most of which didn't appear in the second. This installment has more CGI than the others, which I don't really care for. But like I said, it's a fun movie if you like the franchise. 7/10

Bjorn (ODDBear) The second sequel to the unexpected hit "Tremors" goes back to the source, Perfection, where all the mayhem ensued in the first place. Trigger happy bomb expert Burt Gummer (Gross) once again fights the Graboids who, once again, have evolved even further and are becoming more of a threat.Start with the good; Going back to Perfection gives the filmmakers a chance to revisit old characters and show how much the place has changed due to the sensation the Graboids acquired some years back. It's fun to see how the town milks those slimy creatures for all their worth and the place has become a kind of tourist attraction. Video games, pinball machines and cheap literature among other things populate the local store and overall there's a nice continuation feel here from the first movie.Now the not-so-good; This movie was essentially a Pilot for the short running TV series that followed. It's far too stretched and long-winded and the minuscule budget prevents decent special effects.The first one had the initial surprise factor and for a good deal of time it wasn't known what these people were up against. It was also peppered with decent performances, a sharply written script that kept things moving along nicely and good special effects that weren't computer generated. Very surprisingly the sequel almost outdid the original. Not only was it a direct to Video movie and missing the leading man (Kevin Bacon), but somehow the flick managed to add to the Graboids saga, generate quite a bit of suspense and had very decent special effects.In "Tremors 3" the Graboids mutate once more. Now they're high flying creatures and even more terrifying. But actually, due to a low budget they aren't so terrifying and only have a limited screen time and what there is is pretty uneventful. The movie drags quite a bit, has less interesting supporting characters and treads awfully familiar ground. Silly humor (like Burt being eaten by a Graboid only to return unscathed) does little to further the film as well.All in all, "Tremors 3" is the least enjoyable one so far. It has it's moments, the scenery here is always quite the eye-candy and Michael Gross is always fun as Burt.
