SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The third movie in the Tremors series of films is adequate entertainment for the fans. Michael Gross returns as Burt, who in turn returns to Perfection to find it a tourist haven of Graboid fans. Into the mix is a nefarious real estate deal that threatens the very existence of the townsfolk. But of course, the Graboids and their mutated offspring don't care about such things.If not expecting too much then this serves up some good straight to video fun. The formula remains the same, with Burt the paranoid saviour of Perfection getting some good lines, while the return of characters from the first film is a splendid bonus for the fans. There's some snarky asides to the perils/cheats of tourist traps, and the real estate rape of the land angle is driven home without over kill. Safe if undemanding creature feature fare. 6/10

In Perfection Valley, Nevada, Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) is paranoid with the Graboids and their evolution Shriekers. The small time crook Desert Jack Sawyer (Shawn Christian) swindles tourists with his partner simulating the existence of Graboids. When the deadly worms return to the town, Burt is forced to team-up with Jack and the trader Jodi Chang (Susan Chuang) to fight back and save their lives."Tremors 3: Back to Perfection" is a lame sequel straight to video of the franchise. This flick seems to be a Sci-fi production with terrible story and special effects. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "O Ataque dos Vermes Malditos 3: De Volta à Perfeição" ("The Attack of the Damned Worms 3: Back to Perfection")

Tremors I and II are great movies to watch. I was kinda on the negative view when I heard about a 3rd movie, thinking it wouldn't be great. But when I rented the movie at Blockbuster (to give it a chance), I was amazed for what I saw.The acting was great, especially since they brought back some of the original actors/actresses from the first one. The monster effects, well to be fair they were good, the CGi could have been better though. I'm not saying it's the worst CGi effects I've ever seen. At least we do get the original puppets and animatronics.I don't want to give too much away, just see it for yourself.8/10

Tremors 3: Back to Perfection was the point in the Tremors franchise where (a) was strictly catering to the love and admiration the fans of the first two had for the characters and biology of the subterranean worm creatures and (b) the budgets for these films began to dramatically decrease. Tremors 3, as it sits, is a film made for hardcore fans of the franchise and those who don't mind a little Sci-Fi (capitalized for a reason) treatment to their beloved franchise in the respect of look and feel.The low-budget is evident by the limited human interaction with these beasts, be them Graboids, Shriekers, creatures with that hatch from Graboids that can walk on land and sense any kind of nearby heat with thermal sensors, and the new "Assblasters," which are pretty much Shriekers with the ability to soar thanks to butane gas in their hindquarters. This time, instead of a Mexican oil field, we return to Perfection, Nevada to find Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) residing in a heavily armed and secured bunker, despite no Graboid sighting in the valley for the past eleven years, and residents from the first film, such as Miguel (Tony Genaro), the Mexican rancher and Nancy (Charlotte Stewart) and her daughter Mindy (Ariana Richards), also still residing in Perfection. Earl and Grady have moved on to start their own theme-park in Bixby after making a fortune killing Graboids in the Mexican oil refinery so, much like Val in Tremors II, their significance in this film is reduced to a sidenote.Burt's closest friend in town besides Miguel is Jodi Chang (Susan Chaung), who know owns and operates the general-store-turned- tourist-shop of her late uncle Walter Chang. Jodi is usually subject to Burt's paranoia and the antics of "Desert Jack" (Shawn Christian), who puts on a haunted tour of sorts through Perfection Valley for tourists. However, when Graboids prove to still occupy the land, Burt and the remainder of the valley are prohibited from fighting back by several government agents, who claim that the Graboid is an endangering species. If, however, harm is safety of the townfolk is compromised, the agents agree to evacuate everyone in Perfection, only making it easier for Melvin Plug (Robert Jayne), the spunky teen from the original film, and his band of realtor goons to build a series of condominiums in the area. Burt, "Desert Jack," and Jodi, however, still to take matters into their own hands in combating the uncommonly advanced Graboid species even as they continue their metamorphic state.Tremors 3 directly appeals to fans simply by the genial and nostalgic sentiments it summons by reintroducing us to characters from the first film, all of whom played by the same actors they were originally played by. Call me sentimental or easily fascinated, but it's a delight to see characters like Miguel and Melvin back once again, in a way that personalizes the story and keeps it consistent, rather than having new characters populate the valley. Imagine how much worse this sequel could've been if Perfection were populated with people like "Desert Jack," who shout and holler every word like they were raised in a line-dancing bar. Because Brent Maddock, who worked on the previous two Tremors installments, commands the director's chair here, I feel there's a great respect for the source material through and through with this project, even if intentions and the end result are a tad questionable at times.With that, the special effects have admittedly taken a sharp downturn. When the Graboids, specifically "El Blanco," the new albino Graboid we see in this film, rise from the ground, mostly to taunt their future victims by wiggling in the air, they look like soft-serve ice cream, and the action involving them is incredibly limited, showing great budgetary restraints on special effects. The limited interaction with these monsters shows the serious cutbacks of the film, and while the new "Assblaster" creatures initially seems juvenile, the fun continues when we see, again, what Tremors has really been about from the start: thinking of intuitive ways to hunt and kill subterranean behemoths that are almost always finding ways to outsmart the human characters.Aside from one serious biological attribute about the Graboids at the end of the film, which, I feel, is simply a sign of screen writing laziness on part of S.S. Wilson and Nancy Roberts, Tremors 3: Back to Perfection works to give us down-home nostalgia, as we return to Perfection, and provides in several ways the kind of suspense and silliness we've come to expect with this franchise. Forgive some evident special effects shortcomings and a potential flaw in biology and the film still has that lovable sense of fun and weirdness that has helped the series last in two separate decades.Starring: Michael Gross, Shawn Christian, Susan Chaung, Tony Genaro, Charlotte Stewart, Ariana Richards, and Robert Jayne.
