Let me start this by saying I adore the "Tremors" series, one of the best monster movies out there, from first one filled with humorous parts and that little add-on kept till the very end.

This one is nothing short of that, but it simply looks like it lost its touch, like, it's not really the real deal, more of a cheap version of what we once had. For the die hard fans, sure, it will work alright, I'm quite happy I got to see yet another part, but for the rest, it will be just a movie.

Anyway, here, it is late night, raining, so I got a lovely atmosphere for some nostalgic moments, so I do enjoy the movie but it still feels like something is missing. I wait for other users to comment on it, maybe it is just me. Hope so.

Tremors 5, keeps the legend alive, but not kicking.

Cheers!

I really wanted to like it, but it was an enterprise doomed to failure. Not only the graboids have a complicated life cycle that involves a flying version that uses igneous farts to propel themselves, but the movie is now located in South Africa and filled with clichés of how Americans see the place.

The monsters were cool enough, but the tension was gone, as well as the classic Tremors feel, where an isolated community gets together to defeat unbeatable carnivore beasts. Instead we have big guns easily killing big dumb animals. It's not a totally bad film for the Tremors "series", but certainly it is a disgrace to the original film.

Bottom line: watching it for the melancholy and the fun. Had neither.

Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) continues to hunt the monsters and videotaping it. Travis B. Welker (Jamie Kennedy) wants to make him an internet star. He is recruited to hunt a new cluster of monsters in South Africa.

The first thing I noticed is that someone is filming Burt on his excursions. I don't like the premise of him being like that anyways. I like the lone wolf hunter but not the self-videoing. If Jamie Kennedy should be Burt video guy, he shouldn't be the douche type. He could be the nerdy assistant. I don't like his douche persona anymore. The African content is a little condescending like the tribal dance. Other than a few safari animals, the African content isn't that great. Tremors started as a great B-movie and has become a small cult B-movie franchise. As always, this has Michael Gross and he's the best remaining part. Jamie Kennedy is not a good addition. This is not good. It's a middling B-movie.
