Movie Reviews of Tremors 3 - Back to Perfection

Movie Review: They're Back......But Not Quite Perfect
Summary: 3 Stars

As the title implies, Tremors 3 brings us back from Mexico into the small Nevada town of Perfection. Burt Gummer has returned home after a Shrieker(the name now given to the two legged land walking creatures spawned from Graboids)extermination in South America. It doesn't take long however for the Graboids to set their sights on Perfection again after an 11 year absence. All of the minor characters who survived in the first film are back along with newcomers, Jodi Chang(the daughter of the ill fated store owner Walter Chang, who now runs the store), and a buffoon named Jack who does Graboid "safaris" for tourists. Burt teams up with Jack and Jodi to eliminate the Graboids and Shriekers, but now find themselves facing a new group of monsters dubbed "Ass Blasters". These creatures are apparently what happens when Shriekers reach full maturity, and they complete the life cycle by laying eggs on the backs of Graboids. They look like skinny, winged Shriekers and propel themselves through the air by flammable gas emissions from their butts. Most of the film is spent with Burt, Jack and Jodi running around through the desert playing cat and mouse with these creatures.
This is my least favorite of the four Tremors films. By the time you reach a Part 3 of a movie series, you always run the risk of repeating yourself to a lesser degree. Tremors 3 really does have a been-there-done-that vibe going on. Aside from the new monsters, it really doesn't bring anything new to the table. Even the new monsters are unimpressive since they're CGI, and a rather bad CGI if I may add. Even some of the Graboids are CGI this time, and that's no good. The running around in the desert with the Ass Blasters seems rather long and tedious.
On the positive side though, The Tremors formula still does work from time to time(it was directed by the second half of the original writing team, Brent Maddock, but strangely neither him or Steve Wilson wrote this film). It's got it's funny and clever moments(one good moment has Jack convincing his group of tourists that they are under a Graboid attack. Once the group has made it to the safety of a large rock, Jack scares them into thinking they might be stranded there for days and uses this opportunity to try to sell beverages to them), and it's nice to see the old townspeople again. Michael Gross is still fun to watch too. This movie is rated PG, but I'm not sure how it got by with that rating considering it has pretty much the same amount of gore and profanity as the other films. Oh, well.
Though I wouldn't highly recommend this movie, it isn't without it's entertainment value and it certainly a step above a lot of direct to video films in the horror genre.
