Very disappointing...

i must have seen a different film!!

Don't Believe the Hype

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

This is a great movie. It is very scary. It has a great story line. I also has great acting. The original Tremors is better. Tremors 2 is also better. But still is a great movie. This is better then Tremors 3. It also better then Tremors 4. This is one of the scariest movies from 2015. 5.3 is a good ratting. But this is such a good movie that 5.3 is underrating it. I give this movie 9 out 10. Because it is one of the best horror movies from 2015. See this movie. It is a great movie. I need more lines and I am running out of things to say. Great movie great movie great movie. great movie great movie great movie great movie. See it. See all the Tremors movies.

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.

As an introduction, my favorite Tremor movies in order of most to least is as thus: Tremors 4 > Tremors 1 > Tremors 2 >>> Tremors 3 Note the triple arrows I put against Tremors 3. When I first found out Tremors 5 had 'ass-blasters' in it, I admit I did not feel confident. I thought Tremors 3 had a poor script, poor character chemistry, and the poor CGI played a big part in ruining it. I had an inkling Tremors 5 might have the same issues.Well, I'm happy to report that I like this movie much better than I did the third installment.The script is improved and the creatures in this movie seems vastly better. They have a much more realistic feel to them -- possibly because they're utilized more sparingly and usually during dark conditions. If I were to add it to my order above, I'd put Tremors 5 after Tremors 2.There is a few things I regret about this, though. The characters are also enjoyable to watch, but their chemistry could use some work. Character chemistry is a big reason why I enjoyed Tremors 4 and Tremors 1 so much, so I regret seeing it less prominent here. I also thought the movie had climax build-up issues, which can be attributed to how viewers seem largely in the dark about how far along the goal characters were combined with a separate subplot running alongside the main story.Still, to get to the point, the movie is fairly enjoyable to watch. It has its share of problems, but overall, I think it's a good addition to the series.

First off I think its pretty obvious that only the character Burt can truly keep the Tremors franchise going at this point. And let's be honest the first one is the best one and also truly the only one that should have been made in my opinion however it's a cool franchise however cheesy it may have become.I thought Jamie Kennedy's character was funny enough and the hot African chick was a nice little add on. It's hilarious how some parts were reminiscent of Jurrasic Park. I was just glad they didn't make the graboid's claws tap on the ground.All and all it was entertaining. It was funny even though at times it tried too hard to be but I liked the updated graboid features including tentacles that detached. It was directed well and not shocking at all but it hints at a part six. If you're a tremors fan see it but if you've never seen a Tremors movie at all skip it. Although if you've never seen a Tremors movie see the first one. It's the only classic in a franchise of cheesy follow-ups.
