Tremors 3: Back to Perfection

The Tremors movies are never anything real special, but they are good, and every one maintains the level as the movie that proceeds it. Most sequels decline as they progress, but the Tremors triolgy doesn't. I was surprised that the lead role fit Bert well, as he was just a side character in the first two. The special effects were pretty awsome too, especially since it was straight to video. I really dug the 'ass-blasters' that gained the ability to fly by blasting a burst of fire out their asses. The thing about the Tremor movies that has always bugged me is the fact that they never kill off highly expendable characters. All in all, I grant this one a 3 out of 5.

Random Thoughts

• Why don't they just call for some real help?
• Why would anyone still want to live there after what happened in the 1st two movies?
• Government people always get chomped.
