Summary: a disappointment really
Review: I was disappointed in this one. Gross comes back as Burt and Fred Ward like Kevin Bacon in the first one doesnt come back but some other ones from the first one come back as themselves in this one. remember the annoying kid in the first one who was stuck on top of that shed, well hes back. goes good but its stupid premise, assblaster tremors, not a good name and it wears down the plot that the first one had. bummer

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Graboids, Shreakers, and Blasters, oh my!!
Review: The third in this series keeps up the "excitement" with the latest evolving of these creatures. Bert Gummer saves the day - again but he has to outsmart El Blanco who is following him in around. Another great movie. My girls love Bert (their 6 and 7) and can say his lines with him they've watched the movie so often.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A cult movie
Review: When I try to describe why I like the Tremors triology to my friends, the only thing I can say is "Cult Film". Not as bad as "Plan Nine from Outer Space", and whole lot better than any other film about giant, subterranian carnivorous worms, "Tremors 3" does credit to the series and those of us that love it.

The CG effect Grabiods don't resemble the originals made out of pumpkin guts and pantyhose, but ol' Burt Gummer is still just as much fun as ever. Burt's license plate has changed from "UZI 4ME" to "UZI 4U" so you know he's the same and that you are in for more of the treats from the first two movies. (BTW, I tried to get the state of Montana to issue me either plate and they wouldn't) Many of the original residents of Perfection Valley, NV return, too, older and no wiser.

Hint: In Tremors 3 there are many references to things said or done in Tremors, the original. If you have watched, (and memorized, as I have), the dialog from the first movie, it is a lot more fun...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What will they think of next?
Review: The TREMORS series just refuses to go down without a fight. The original TREMORS was a classic film with many suspenseful moments. TREMORS 2 was more of a "gore and guts" fest with the appearance of the Shriekers, the offspring of the Graboids that can walk above ground and have heat sensors on their heads to detect anything warm that can be used for food, which causes them to multiply. TREMORS 3 started out with the reappearance of the Shriekers and Burt Gummer in another memorable performance by Michael Gross. Then the old-fashioned Graboids actually come back to terrorize the peaceful Perfection Valley, Nevada. But what would a TREMORS film be without the original Graboids doing some stalking? Burt, with the help of a man named Jack and Jodie Chang, a relative of Walter Chang (who was killed in the first film) begins a Graboid hunt. In the process, the Shriekers begin to shed their skin and sprout wings to become the bum-blasters, vicious, flying monsters with flammable insides that allow them to launch themselves into the air for flight.

All in all, TREMORS 3: BACK TO PERFECTION has the typical setup of its two predecessors. What makes it an entertaining sequel is the same thing that made TREMORS 2 entertaining. It delivers more of what we love: Innocent civilians running around, trying to MacGyver their way out of dangerous situations with prehistoric meat-eaters. It not only gives us that, but a fresh healthy dose of comical gore and a new Graboid metamorphosis to feast our eyes on. It's the "same old, same old" deal again but it's injected with just the right amount of action, explosions, and sci-fi gore along with a new advance in the Graboid life cycle to keep our eyes glued to the screen.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Dumbest of the Series
Review: I don't know when they will quit making Tremor movies, from what i understand #4 is on it's way, they get dumber everytime. Number one is a classic, two was passible, but this one is far behind, the acting in this is pretty bad, and cheesy. I gave it two stars because i was somewhat entertained. Don't spend alot of money on this, if your planning to buy it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: strangely comforting
Review: If you liked the first or second Tremor, this one is especially fun. Otherwise I couldn't tell ya. If you like dumb, entertaining sci-fi go for it.

The old worms are back in Perfection Nevada after 11 years with one in particular "el blanco" who's hunting Burt. The new creatures: "... blasters" are entertaining. The funniest part of the movie is when Burt is asked what will happen if the ...blasters get into his food stocks and he replies: "...-blaster Blitzkreig". Juxtapose that with "Hill Street Blues" and it just kinda tickles.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Graboids are Back!
Review: TREMORS 3 continues the story of giant underground worms or "grabiods" and returns back to where it all began, Perfection, Nevada. With Earl and Val out of this movie, its up to Burt, the survivalist and the remainder of the town to stop the graboids. This time not only are they able to turn themselves into dog-like hopping creatures but now also have become able to change into a flying menace!!
Tremors 3 does maintain the sense of comedy and suspence found in the first two films but it fell a bit short of being completely satisfying. Most of the special effects shots would have been better if they had skipped the CGI and sticked with the animatronic creature instead. Overall this is a good sci-fi action movie, however, I would strongly recommend watching TREMORS first, then TREMORS 2: AFTERSHOCKS and if you still want more go for this one...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Back to Perfection
Review: I have seen this movie many of times. That is why I gave this movie a five star rating. I don't own this movie yet but I really want to.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Humor, Violence, and Stupidity - Ahh, the good stuff!
Review: This is, in my opinion, the best of the Tremors movies. Why? Because it's the funniest, and people don't watch Tremors for the action or suspense, they watch it for the humor. The makers of Tremors 3 knew what makes Tremors fans tick, and they provide it in a bigger dose than ever before. I really don't want to give anything away, but some pretty hilarious sh** happens here, and clever ways are always found to waste the critters. There is also the usual dose of the senseless violence, shallow characters, and bloody Grabboid chunks that we all love so much, presented in a very playful and silly way.

If you're looking for something that will win Best Picture at the Oscars, look somewhere else. If you're looking for a classic horror movie that will give you nightmares, this isn't it, either. If you're looking for the most imaginative and hilarious ways to blow up big ugly worms, or if you wanna see big flying lizards light their own gas and rocket through the night sky, this is the ticket!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent for a Second Sequel
Review: In some ways this movie is better than the first sequel. Maybe it's because it returns to the setting of the first movie, Perfection, Nevada. Val and Earl are gone, but now Burt is the Graboid expert. A new character is introduced, who resembles Brad Pitt a little bit, but if you don't like Brad Pitt don't let that keep you from this movie. The character is good, like all the characters in this movie. Other original characters return, like Nancy and the almost-grown-up Mindy, and Melvin has a cameo appearance.

Once again, the creatures in the movie undergo a change that makes fighting them more difficult; new strategies are required.

If you liked the first movie, you'll like this one, even if you found the second one disappointing (although I didn't). Get all three movies and have a Tremors marathon!!
