Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

This is a great movie. The first Tremors movie is scarier. Tremors 2 After Shocks is scarier. But still this is one of the scariest movie form the last decade. It is a lot better then Tremors 3 back to Perfection. That movie is OK but this one is better. This is a prequel to Tremors. It is very scary. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. 5.4 is underrating this movie. It is a great movie. I give it 9 out of 10. This movie is a must see. Michael Gross is a great actor. Sara Bostsford is a great actress. S.S Wilson is a great film maker. See this movie. It is the best horror movie from the last decade.

The fourth "Tremors" feature goes back in time, to the year 1889. "The Legend Begins" in the small city of "Perfection", which was then "Rejection, Nevada". As the story begins, seventeen miners are killed by the ghastly "Graboids". Some of the characters in the present-day "Tremors" films have ancestors, both figurative and literal, in the past. Most obvious is the ever-returning Michael Gross (as Hiram Gummer). Unlike his descendant, Mr. Gross is inept with firearms; so, he hires gunslinger Billy Drago (as "Black Hand" Kelly) to shoot 'em up some "Dirt Dragons".This one takes some getting used to - as it takes place in the distant past. It's like a western with miniature versions of the original film's monster "Graboids". These tamer "Dirt Dragons" are nowhere near as terrorizing as their "Tremors" (1990) counterparts. Consequently, in this film, the characters spend an awful lot of time on the ground, which would not have happened in the original movie. And, it was weird to have the citizens give up the fight so quickly, when Gross temporarily decides to leave town. Why so helpless? Why didn't Brent Roam (as Juan Pedilla) immediately rally the people to fight without Gross? Disappointing.**** Tremors 4: The Legend Begins (2004) S.S. Wilson ~ Michael Gross, Brent Roam, Billy Drago

A little better than 'Tremors 3: Back to Perfection (2001)', but definitely inferior to 'Tremors II: Aftershocks (1996)'. Even if none of these straight to video sequels reach the greatness of the original, it's still quite an enjoyable franchise that manages to storm up something refreshing for the viewer as the creators knew what they wanted. Helping out a lot was that most of the guys behind the idea (Ron Underwood, Brett Maddock and S.S. Wilson) were aboard, albeit writing, directing or producing. They were always involved in some way and they're love for it showed in their works. Also let's not forget that Michael Gross is the only one from the original cast to appear in all four as his energetically memorable gung-ho Burt Gummer. Well that wasn't entirely the case and this last instalment (to date) paints that out.The fourth tremor film sees us transported back to what is a prequel. Set 1889 Nevada, in the small working town Rejection (yes before it was called Perfection). During one day nineteen miners are picked off in silver mine by some unseen creature (graboid) and this causes most the town to pack and leave. The owner of the mine Hiram Gummer (Burt's descended) arrives to an almost ghost town to hopefully rid the problem and re-open the mine.Michael Gross's character is largely different to what was use to seeing. It surprises. But the change of character/personality to what he becomes and what we love about him is done very well because of Gross' sincere acting. Billy Drago is simply wonderful and a joy to behold in his short role as the gun for hire. The rest of the cast do a very capable job, but we know whose show it is any way. Yes Gross, but the graboids too. With a mixture of well-constructed CGI and terrific animatronics' puppets that do come off. With the crew favouring the use of the latter more often and for such a low-budget production is amiably crafted.The plot structure (by S.S Wilson, Brett Maddock and Nancy Roberts) is dryly old-fashion monster fun on the western frontier that actually cares for its characters, pops in some consistent light humour and can rally pockets of suspense. Director S.S Wilson relax handling has a brisk and spirited flow to it.

i think i'll start by saying that the ending scene is one that all tremors fans will love.. but this particular movie, i didn't find that constant laughter like you did in the first three, no kevin bacon, no fred ward,, no "melvin" stuff like that,, i didn't get to laugh that often in this one,, and that kinda bothered me,, the story itself wasn't too bad,, old west, Hiram Gummer the mine owner is called in by the locals of Rejection, Nevada, to get rid of some of the original Graboids that have been eating the miners, there are some funny moments but way to far in between, there are a lot of times where things just seem to drag in this movie,, and that's just what i do not like in a movie, is the boring dragging from one scene to the next,, yeah some of it was very interesting,, but i just had a very hard time believing that Hiram Gummer was a mine executive,, all dressed up like that,, all the way from Philadelphia,, i think that the next tremors should be from where Fred Ward said in the first 2 outer space,, now that would be neat..
