Summary: This one made me very unhappy.
Review: Everyone knows the only reason to try and make a sequel is to either: take the story in a new direction or to make a bigger, better film down the same path as the original. This movie fails to be anything. It's premise could have been written by an elementary school student! It has by far the worst special effects of the three fims( the graboids,in original form, look like block figures). Burt Gummer was by far the least interesting character in the first two films and they gave him his own movie(although he is good in small doses). The violence and body count of the first two aren't matched. THE MOVIE IS PG! FAMILY IS JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR CENSORSHIP!!!!! This movie was just plain terrible!

Summary: Not quite perfection
Review: I didn't even know this was out until I passed by it in the sci-fi area of my local video store. I enjoyed Tremors 2 a lot, and always found myself leaving it on when it would show up on the USA channel (seems to be on there all summer). I was expecting a lot more from Tremors 3. It lacked a lot of what made the first two movies truly fun to watch. The 'buddy' movie aspect is totally lost as the lead characters never really meld. Burt himself was always a loner character and should stay that way. He just doesn't play-off of anyone in this movie the way he did when he was a secondary character. Anyway, if you liked the first two, you owe it to yourself to at least rent this one to complete the storyline. It's hard to recommend buying it considering these movies are always (strangely) priced in the $21+ category instead of the $10-$15 area where they belong.

Summary: WORTHY FOLLOW-UP
Review: This is a great follow-up to the first and second -- entirely different and was fun to catch up on the youngsters.
Would liked to have had an up-date on the characters of the first two movies but it probably wouldn't have worked in.
Will watch this series many times over the winter.
Definitely recommend this movie for a lot of fun watching.

Summary: Overkill - Series Has Run It's Course
Review: This latest installment in the "TREMORS" series proves that the novelty and fun of the original film has now finally run its course. The original "Tremors" was a fun, exciting throwback to giant monster movies of the 50's, but with a sly, humorous modern edge. The first direct to video sequel "Aftershocks" surprisingly retained the original's clever action, fun characters and witty dialog, even making fun of itself for being a sequel. A pleasant surprise considering most sequels really bite. Now we have this 3rd direct to video adventure and it fails on almost all counts. First of all, the original cast has diminished to only Michael Gross remaining. Sorely missed is the rough and wily antics of Fred Ward. Instead we get two new characters, one an Asian shopkeeper, the other a not-too-smart country boy. Unfortunately, these new characters come off as forced and unrealistic, spouting the one-liners in vain. Our new team of one-dimensional characters have to fight a new strain of graboids who can now "fly". That's the BIG twist! What's next? Graboids that can swim? Snooooze.Yep, after a somewhat promising first 30 minutes, this sequel falls into a formulaic series of boring monster attack scenes. Lots of CGI, lots of mechanical puppets, lots of whiny characters....but no suspense, humor or believability in any of the characters or actions. It just goes on and on. This viewer started daydreaming and drifting off after a while and had to constantly force himself to concentrate on what was happening on screen ....not a good sign for an action film. If it can't hold your attention and you don't care what happens...what's the point? These tremors don't even register a .01 on the Richter scale. Surely there will be viewers that find this sequel entertaining and worthy on it's own grounds, but if it wasn't a "Tremors" film, it would look just like any other bad recent sci-fi monster picture. Look at it that way and it really is simply a waste of time. Sorry - truth hurts and this one cost me (...). Ebay is calling.

Summary: Tremors 3
Review: If anyone ever saw the first two Tremors movies, then you have to see Tremors 3.Its start's when Burt come's back from Mexico to find that the Grobiols (spelling) had come back to Perfection.So Burt rounds up his old friends from the first Tremors movie and some new friends to kick some Grobiols butt, but when they get stuck in the desert by a Grobiol,they find a new Type of Tremor that is more deadly then they ever face before.So If you don't know what to give your family for the hoildays, give this movie.

Summary: Tragic.
Review: It's really quite sad, actually; after establishing such high standards with their first two Tremors movies, they go and blow it........and HARD! This movie didn't even make me laugh and wasn't even suspenseful, in the least (unlike the first two)! It was just a waist of time even watching it. The best thing about this movie was the new Graboid design; now they can fly, or glide is more accurate, by shooting flaming farts out of their butts (which was the only thing even mildly amusing about the whole movie). To describe this movie, you need just three words: BORING, DULL, and just plain STUPID.

Summary: True to the tremor legacy
Review: If you like action movies with plenty of suspense, then your in for a treat. This movie is true to the tremor legacy. It keeps things interesting, and includes lots of humorous scenes, and comments. This movie should not be rented, it should be bought.

Summary: Supposedly the creators best, but just another sequel
Review: When the creators of Tremors I and II decided that they wanted to make another Tremors movie they not only wanted to make a sequel, they wanted to make their best. The truth is that they could have done a lot better. Maybe it was the fact they wanted to keep it family oriented or they just didn't have the time or financial capabilities of making a successful sequel. One can depict from the start that a movie made for home video only can't be of outstanding performance; it has its gaps somewhere. It is worth buying though if you are a Tremors fan. Burt returns as the fully loaded armed and dangerous vigilante, which is what keeps this movie alive. The opening sequence makes the movie look great, but the new actors just screw up the whole plot as the movie proceeds. There are some positive notes that one can look forward to though such as: Dolby Digital 5.1 sound, trailers from all three Tremor movies, and some other DVD extras that liven up the film. Over all beware before buying this one. Don't be fooled by the cover; it is nothing like the others where Burt goes insane will all of his weaponry. Burt has the weapons, but just when one thinks that he is about to unload he doesn't. It must have been the low budget that the crew had to deal with that ruined the action. Also there are some errors in the film that one can catch if you look hard. There is one obvious error that I cannot believe it was released without anyone noticing was: on the trailer for Tremors 3 they put the names next to the picture of the actors, but Burt's name is misspelled as Bert!

Summary: This time, they can fly !
Review: It's been 5 years since part 2 and eleven years from the original. Fred Ward didn't come back for this one. It is a shame as this one is every bit as good as the second one (of course can't compared to the original). But it does have everything you can expect from Tremors series: Excitement, laughter. Some of characters from the original return for this one (Melvin, Miguel, Mindy and her mom). The story, well Graboids are back and this time they mutated to somethings that have wings so they can fly. The DVD is OK for straight to video materials. The picture is bright and clear and the sound is about average. Now if Universal can re-unite all original casts from Tremors (Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward) and make another sequel with bigger budget, I am sure fans will be lining up to buy tickets. But overall, this DVD shouldn't be missed by Tremors fans and monster genre fans in general.

Summary: A Lost cause !
Review: this is a tremors film or a evening of twlight zone i don't know you tell me ? i thought it'd be good but it was ok , but very boring & annoying new additions the only thing holding this film together was michael gross as burt gummer & the actors from the first film were great to see again. but only pet peeve was that some of shots looked like they were done by high school students with cheap video editing programs so the shots looked like crap i'm sorry i would'nt buy this one in a million years it's a shame to the trilogy i'm sorry to say & this coming from a big tremors fan what a disappointment!
