Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Samiam3 Ten Years after the fourth sequel, Steve Wilson and Brent Maddock have handed over the keys to the kingdom of Tremors.Up till now, the franchise has been restricted to Nevada and Mexico (with one scene in Chile). Now we are in Africa.The African cousin of the Graboid is a creature just as big, but so much more absurd looking that it is inevitably the highlight of the movie. In terms of visual effects, the CGI is miles ahead of the other sequels, but then again, think of how far computers have come in ten years. Michael Gross reprising the coming of age Burt Gummer still has some lead in his barrel, but he is getting a little tired. The script gives him two or three new toys, as well as a criminally dull new partner in no-name actor Jamie Kennedy.This sequel summons a somewhat darker, less cartoony tone than the previous entries. Some might appreciate that, but the movie needed more laughs. Still, if there are any Tremors fans left out there, This film will give you what you want.
TheSonomaDude_Returns I have this strange fixation on the Tremors franchise, probably one that's unhealthy. Regardless, the original film is easily in my top 5 and I could ramble for eons about its hidden genius. Its sequel, Tremors 2: Aftershocks, is surprisingly very good for a home media release, and it probably sits in my top 50 favorite films. Tremors 3 and 4 aren't as near as good as the first two and have a ton of problems, but they still have a certain charm to them: cool effects, funny dialog, great action, and Burt Gummer, who is an unsung B-movie badass hero. I've been awaiting a 5th film for years, and I figured it wouldn't happen......until I read an article in early 2015, stating Tremors 5 had gone into surprise filming in South Africa. My heart pounded out of my chest, my trembling hands nearly dropped my phone. I was a 1st grader (about 7 years old) when Tremors 4 came out, and now I was about to enter college. Was this film finally happening, with Michael Gross and all? I thought it was too good to be true, maybe a hoax or joke article. Sure enough, it's real, and so is my excitement.Then I see the director: Don Michael Paul, one of the cheapest, laziest, and overall worst modern film directors currently working. Maybe he's a nice guy, seems like it, but he is one of the worst directors I can think of. My heart stopped pounding. The guy who directed celebrated classics like Who's Your Caddy? and Jarhead 2 is now directing one of my bucket list sequels.Months past and I finally saw it after it came out. I read a lot of reviews saying it was rather good, including my local paper that called it "by far the best Tremors sequel...almost as good as the original" and after just 30 seconds of watching the film I could tell you that those claims are very misguided. So much is wrong with this train wreck. First, the monster designs are completely different. I actually think they are pretty cool, but this is not a remake or a reboot, and none of the characters seem to notice anything different. Why change the designs of the monsters in a sequel, thus breaking continuity? It'd be like if they made Gremlins 3, but the gremlins are now pink, furry, and have eight legs, and then the characters never asked why they looked different. Failed comedian Jaimie Kennedy plays Burt Gummer's sidekick, though I feel as if his role were originally written for Pauly Shore or Rob Schneider. He's about as irritating as you'd think: memes, pop culture references, shouting and overreacting about everything, completely stupid and makes situations worse, extremely annoying and pointless. The nail in the cross is, not surprisingly, the terrible direction. The film is so flat and uninteresting, with NO cool angles or engaging shots. The film could've been much, much better had the director known anything about making a cool-looking movie, or had he even cared (which I'm assuming he didn't). Everything is so unremarkable, like they just pointed the camera from the most static and basic angle and pressed record. How do people like this even get work, where idealistic college graduates are scooping gum off of diner tables just to make a living? There is only one scene in this entire film where the directing is slightly interesting, and it's like another person took over.It's a sickening world to know this film could've been much better had only a few things been changed. I think what made the other films work, even Tremors 3 which is not a good movie, is that the people who made them cared about Tremors. Don Michael Paul and his crew clearly do not care about Tremors in the slightest, as Paul even said in the commentary track that he had never seen a Tremors film until Michael Gross forced him to watch the original after filming had been completed. What a hack, and what a terrible film.Also, the film has some sort of fixation on pee. Gummer drinks pee, a character wets his pants, a girl mentions having to pee, a dude pees on a rock, a guy dies while peeing, and a lion pees on Gummer's face. Do the writers have a urine fetish? If so, maybe they should explore that and stay away from the Tremors franchise.
adonis98-743-186503 Tremors 5 was amazing i can't believe it that people hated this film so much it wasn't meant to turn into an Oscar contender movie or have an amazing acting and cast and effects and other things like that. What it was instead it was an action packed sequel to a Franchise that gets better with each sequel. Bloodlines is basically a sequel to Tremors 3 and a pretty good one if i can say Jamie Kennedy did a pretty cool job and i think everyone were great although the highlight as always was Michael Gross as Burt Grummer who absolutely kicks some serious butt in this one. Sure it has some weird scenes like that scene when Burt drinks his pee but it was meant for him to survive i think the best moment were the slow motion scenes with the Graboids when they were attacking some random people. Overall a cool sequel to a very good Franchise.
Hellmant 'TREMORS 5: BLOODLINES': Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five)The fifth film in the popular monster flick series. It once again stars Michael Gross as Burt Gummer (the only actor to appear in all five films), and it costars newcomer (to the series) Jamie Kennedy. In this installment, Burt, and his new sidekick (played by Kennedy), must defend a South African wildlife reserve; from the deadly creatures. It was directed by Don Michael Paul and written by Woodrow Truesmith, M.A. Deuce, John Whelpley and C.J. Strebor. I found it to be a fun, and decently made, B-movie sequel. The story takes place 14-years after the end of the third film (the forth installment is a prequel). Burt Gummer (Gross) is now hosting his own reality TV show, on survival skills. Travis Welker (Kennedy) is a fan of his, who wants to help him expand his business; he also becomes Burt's new cameraman. A man from the South African Wildlife Ministry, named Erick Van Wyk (Daniel Janks), finds Burt, and Travis, and asks them to come to Africa; to help them take care of an Ass-Blaster problem there. Burt is skeptical, but agrees to the job.The first film is a classic (it's one of my all-time favorite monster movies); and I was pretty disappointed that the studios decided to go the 'direct-to-video' route, with all the sequels. I never expected them to get to a fifth installment though! I remember liking the other sequels, but not that much (I haven't seen them in a long time, and I don't really remember that much about them). Burt Gummer is a great character, and Gross is extremely likable in the role (next to 'FAMILY TIES', it's probably his most memorable part). It would be great to see Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward back in their parts too, but Kennedy isn't a bad addition to the franchise. I was actually pleasantly surprised with this chapter; it's funny and there's some pretty cool action scenes, and visuals in it, too. I like it.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: youtu.be/5_iFqdaycDM
