 Thanks for checking out this movie review video. This is for tremors three back to perfection and yes perfection is Perfection, Nevada. I believe yeah, Nevada. Is it yeah, I think it's Nevada. Sorry so much confusion on this Yeah, where everything started in the first tremors now This is the third one I've done if you're just fine finding this and you want to know What about tremors and tremors to aftershocks? I did reviews for though They're on the for those they're on the channel And I also created a playlist for the channel for all the tremors movies because I think I'm going for all six So once I'm done with this, we're at the halfway point. We're gonna keep going now Is this a situation you may be asking yourself of diminishing returns with the films? unequivocally yes at least at this point I feel like there is a possibility that when you get to like number four number five number six that One of those is going to buck the trend. It's not gonna continually go down. I don't think at some point It's gonna bump up a little bit, but at the moment obviously the first tremors really good The second tremors not a bad to follow up the third tremors here We're going down further although it was still enjoyable and still fun to a degree, but we'll go over that more This one was was directed by Brent Maddock, so if you haven't watched my other reviews, you know that SS Wilson and Brent Maddock are the ones that wrote the script For the original tremors then SS Wilson Directed the second tremors tremors aftershocks because They were trying to get it as cheap as possible and he basically volunteered to do it for free now in the third film Brent Maddock the other writer of the original tremors is In the directing seat Maddock and SS Wilson were still involved with the writing at this point But they also brought in two other people a Nancy Roberts Who also did some writing for the scripts for tremors for and the tremors TV show? Yes, if you didn't know there was a tremors TV show and then John Welp Lee who did a lot of He's written a lot of episodes of TV shows over his lifespan And then he also worked on scripts for tremors 5 and tremor 6 which were not there yet But we'll get there. We'll get there So in this film obviously Michael Gross is back as Burt Gummer Burt Gummer is the strongest character As in staying power-wise for these films He's the only real returning character from tremors 2 but they did bring back some characters from the first tremors Not Reba McIntyre not Kevin Bacon But they brought back Charlotte Stewart who plays Nancy Tony Genaro who plays Miguel Ariana Richards who plays Mindy. Yes, the actual little girl who was in the first tremors is grown up in Tremors 3. It's it is the same one. I made sure to check and Robert Jane as Melvin also comes back. So This is one of those things where like the nostalgia is fun The nostalgia is actually kind of cool with the film because once they start the film Which I'm gonna give some more backstory, but I just need to say this right now when they start the film It gives you this feeling of ah, this feels comfortable This feels fun like it's cool to check back in with these people after the events of 2 and you're kind of like Oh, I missed the town in the first tremors Well, you know what you're right back there and you're gonna see what else goes on and it's also cool to see You know with Burt back there. What are the changes that Burt has gone through? Mainly the changes with this house slash compound at this point. We'll talk about that a little more This got a six million dollar budget, which is a two million dollar bump from the second one And it was also direct to video. I think they're all direct to video after the first one To be honest, but I haven't done the research for all the other ones after this So we'll find out this film marked the first time that grab oids were done in CG Prior to that in the first one and second one It was practical effects for the grab oids in the second one They did practical effects for the shriekers, but also some CG for the shriekers when they were moving now in this one they actually did CG for the grab oids not all of them, but There was some practical effects for the grab oids, but movement-wise it was mainly CG and then they did CG for They really have shriekers in this the ass blasters as they called them in the movie Oddly enough they did CG for that which by the way the CG for the ass blasters When they're when they're on the ground or in further away It doesn't look that bad But when they're flying is not looking good or when you get too close up It's not looking good and this is one of my things is always go for practical no matter what even if it's not going to look The best because CG in about 10 years is going to look terrible no matter what Because it just keeps getting better. Now. Here's a really strange thing about this film. This was rated PG Yes, I had to double and triple check that one It is rated PG which I don't understand how that's rated PG the first two are rated PG-13 and They're they have a lot of the same amount of of violence and language and splatter So how did they get a PG for this one? I just don't get it if you know the answer to that put a comment down here Okay, so it seems like Burt has really come into his own when you start this film out I mean he's the big guy on campus if you will everyone knows him. He's a celebrity He's still capitalizing on the whole grab void and shrieker thing He's dealing with these shriekers like it's no big deal, you know, obviously in the beginning He's got that big gun going and just like shooting shooting shooting because as we know Burt Gummer loves guns loves guns It's like his pornography pretty much But when that was going on it just felt to me like you know what he's doing this like it's so Unbelievably routine that it gives me the same feeling that I got from the first one and from the second one Well, mainly from the second one actually where they kind of settle into a groove You know Earl and that one really settled into a groove of I know grab oids This is how you deal with them and then that's when the shriekers show up So it's the same situation in this film where Burt's dealing with the shriekers. He's like, oh, I know this I know how to deal with grab oids. I know how to deal with shriekers. No big deal Just do my thing and then the ass blasters show up. So it's kind of the same formula they're doing a lot of the same stuff as the second film and That's fine with me to be honest because with films like this I don't want them just do the same thing with the same creatures You got to add something and with this one It's a good way to have the same but have something new at the same time So the whole idea of the metamorphosis Basically of the grab oid going it's the grab oid stage and then it ends up going to the shrieker stage And then it ends up going to the ass blaster stage and then there's an egg from the ass blaster that goes back to the grab Oids stage It's cool because in this third movie you have now completed your understanding of the entire life cycle of The grab oid that we started with in the first film So it all comes full circle and is why it then makes sense that for the fourth film that I will be reviewing They go back to they go to a prequel to the first tremors So it's kind of like oh, we already told the story now Let's go back now that you know everything biologically about these grab oids and show you how Grab oids started with a city with the same city. I think it's called something different But we'll get to that when we do that review So I feel like Burt's just doing this for fun at this point in the in the movie Maybe just to get access to bigger weapons to be honest That's kind of how it feels to me is you know, that's what that's how he gets his rocks off You know, that's how he that's how he's happy That's how he's excited in life because obviously you saw he was down in the second movie because his wife Heather left him And then what reinvigorated him what made him feel alive again? Blasting shriekers, but now he gets the blast grab oid shriekers and ass blasters and he doesn't he does it quite well There's a there's a part in the beginning of this when they go to the When they go to the town and they see the old general store that was Walters Walter Wong I think his name was and his daughter's running it and on the side of it There's a sign that says coldest beer in town, which I think is kind of a funny visual cue because That's probably the only place you could get beer in town because there's like nothing to the town Obviously, so I just think it's funny that it says coldest beer in town because duh, it's the only beer in town basically I Like the pop culture grab oid and shrieker things that they have in this film Especially like the theme park that was created But also the comic books of the grab oids and the shriekers because it gives this cool Idea that it's that these creatures have permeated pop culture like they're very well known by everyone so much so That we're now doing comic books about them and it's it's funny because they refer back to the comic books numerous times in this film as References for information on the creatures, which you know, I'm not saying that's a plot hole or anything I'm just saying it's kind of funny because it gives you the idea that the people who made the comic books We're being true to life and actually getting all the biology Correct about how these creatures are and this seems like a funny thing to be you know tied to a comic book But I like that about it. I think it's kind of cool and then it's all it's also focusing so much on the commercialization of this creature Which you know, we we have a tendency to commercialize a lot of these types of things I mean think about Sasquatch slash Bigfoot, you know Or whatever yeti Abominable snowman, you know all these different iterations of creatures like that they have been commercialized We have all this stuff that people sell that has to do with them It's the same thing the guy making the fake Graboid indicators is a really good nice comedic moment What I'm talking about is the guy like making all the noise and throwing you know shooting the sand up in the air when Jack is running his, you know fake Graboid safari that guy's pretty funny Obviously as soon as you meet him, you just know if anyone's gonna get it in this film It's that guy and I believe he ends up being the first one to get it which makes you know perfect sense He just gets swallowed straight up So this guy Jack on the topic of him. He seems a lot like Earl And Val in the first movie because he never had good plans He he literally says in this, you know Cuz in the first film they focus on the fact that Earl and Val always are trying to come up with plans to like Do better make more money get out of town and they never could until the very end now Jack is a very similar person, but he just doesn't make plans He just thinks I'm just gonna fly by the sea in my pants. I don't make plans But then by the end of the film, he's actually making plans and they're good plans So it's very much similar to the first movie for that reason The kid being corrected and calling the Graboid a tremor earlier in this film Seems like a nod to people in the real world actually calling the creature's tremors because of the name of the first film There are so many times where I'm talking to people about tremors and they refer to the creatures as tremors They're not tremors The the name of tremors has to do with the seismic activity that indicates that the Graboids are coming They are Graboids, so I think that this moment in tremors three is is a is that Indicator that this is what happens in real life. This is our not to we know people are just calling them tremors out in the real world But they're Graboids so by correcting this person in the film. It's kind of them venting their frustration of it's not tremors It's Graboids people get it right You mock the Graboids enough they're gonna show up and make you pay for it And that's kind of what happens with the town a lot of people especially Jack and his buddy They're really kind of mocking the Graboids and then also, you know to a degree Burt treating everything is just kind of business as usual And he's dominated the Graboids. They're gonna show up and they're gonna show you what's what and they do obviously You can tell the Graboid mouth Monsters are crew members arms the little the little Extra creatures that come out of the Graboid mouths and are you know trying to bite people that kind of look like snake worm things More than any more than ever in this film You can tell it's some dude's arm in like this latex puppet like going like this just sticking out of the sand It's really funny. It's comedic and Yeah, I mean it's just something you notice you can't get away from that According to what Burt's saying the Graboids are migrating because it's the same path as before Which this is interesting because it's then adding to the The story of the Graboids in general that they migrate a certain direction They have like an actual pattern Where seasonally they'll be here and then they're moving here and I just thought it was another additional thing And that's the thing that they do with these scripts for the tremors is it seems they keep Making sure that they add something else scientifically Revealed about these creatures, which is what I like you're you're always learning more about the creatures as the films happen So I'll be interested to see if they continue with that with the films Uh, I was really caught off guard when the government shows up in this film and it's like Graboids are protected creatures Uh, I guess it's they kind of say it's because they're they're the most ancient creature found uh on land or in this instance under land So that becomes a place where you know They they're protected then they they can't be killed now Obviously that shows up and works well for the the end of the film where Burt is able to tell melvin. You're not building houses here. You're not selling land because guess what? I think calls him el blanco the the giant white Graboid who may be kind of a good guy. I don't know is uh Is on the premises so he points to that and says hey guess what the government protects these guys Therefore, this is protected land. Therefore you can't build here. Therefore take off go screw So yeah, and once again sticking it to melvin like they love to do in the first film all the time Uh, so as long as it took for jack to get burt out of the graboid he'd be dead It's a funny scene though that whole scene where burt gets swallowed up by the graboid And he stills a walkie-talkie so jack's gonna you know drive after him and he was driving him to Burt's compound because he had put that new reinforced concrete wall underground So he runs into it and basically dies and then he's able to jack's able to Shovel him out and then cut open the graboid and pull him out and he's still alive The amount of time that passes though He would be dead. No one can hold their breath that freaking long. He would be dead So that's a plot hole with the film. But you know, it was also a fun scene at the same time So take these things with a grain of salt The acting by the doctor who initially tells of the of the shriekers showing up is terrible That actor is garbage. It was my wife even said it was hard to follow what he was even trying to say Because his acting was so awful and the pacing of his lines was so bad I like how they keep referring back to the graboid comics for information I said this before but it bears reiterating because I think that is awesome Plus the artwork on the graboid and shrieker comics were cool and they I think If I'm remembering correctly, they had one called graboid versus shrieker or something like that I would read that and that's actually a good premise for a film. They should do that Unless it's it's already happening one of the ones I'm gonna see I was waiting for something new with the creatures to come up just as I suspected they moved a flight now But with explosive farts apparently I did see it coming that they would then move to the a the next Portion of the life cycle being flying. I did see that coming I did suspect that because if you think underground on top of ground, where do you go from there? In the air, where do you go from there possibly underwater? I don't know. Are they going to come through the sewers shrink down and do that? I don't know we'll find out but the the explosive farts Which is where they get the name ass blaster. I certainly did not see that coming and then the fact that they use that in it and call it out and say they're farting and Use it to their advantage is you know, it's funny. It's comedy And that's one of the things about this film and all of the tremors films is they're very cognizant of what they're doing They're very comedy driven and I appreciate that The new phase of creature going into a coma from eating too much is interesting because the first two phases Happen to be all about eating so that kind of lets you know That the food coma in the third stage Indicates that's the last stage because they no longer need to keep eating and keep eating in order to grow Or procreate or whatever They're just you know a vessel to you know grow the egg on the inside and then start a new graboid basically Uh, yeah, like I talked about before the cg not looking so hot in this film, especially when the creatures are flying Painful at that point The land boating scene actually looked really fun Where jack tells him to jump in the boat and they're just like riding this boat with the tarp over it in the desert Um It looks so much it looked to be so much fun that I would want to do that Like I literally was watching this and was like I would like to do that that that looks awesome How do I do this sign me up? I guess I need to know burt gummer jack Jack goes for being a fraud who never makes plans to being a hero Who legitimately has good plans? So I saw this coming, you know, that's kind of what they do with the characters like that Since he was in like the url and or the val Um Roll I figured he's going to turn around at the end. He's not going to be a scumbag this whole time Just trying to make a buck and you know hoodwink people. So sure enough. That's what happened The potato gun idea in this uh, was cool. That was a lot of fun I like how they then took that potato gun idea and made it to like we can shoot these giant like Basically flaming arrows at them and then pierce their, um I don't know what you got gas sacks. I guess is what you would call it So they then explode and then the actual explosion when they would do that Obviously a lot of fun because seeing that orange viscera and goo flying all over the place Is always the best part of the tremors movies in my opinion It's surprising how long they draw out the junkyard scene. It's solid action But it feels like they would have moved on sooner Um, they do kind of like keep it moving through that but at the same time I did start to feel like okay. I need a little bit of a change of scenery. They definitely kind of like stretch that one out. I was surprised by that What's the deal with the white grab void? Is it just dumb luck because at the end like they're in trouble They have another ass blaster coming at him. He's on the ground and then all of a sudden El blanco the white grab void pops up out of the ground and eats the thing and then goes away So is this guy a good guy? Or was that or are we supposed to think that that was just dumb luck that he was coming because there was noise And vibration and he could sense it and he just happened to Eat the ass blaster and not get them. I don't know put some comments down here The ass blaster attraction at the end of this is funny where they're kind of like selling Tickets for people to see one in a cage. I thought that was pretty funny Plus a good idea for the town And then yeah, I guess at the end the idea is to coexist with alblanco I mean it is because Bert you know says to melvin. You can't build here or sell land here because This is here and it's protected. So I guess alblanco is not that violent. What's it gonna eat? I don't get it Like I would think at least it's gonna go for people's livestock So I don't know but maybe that would be addressed to number five And obviously I'm saying that because number four is going backwards in time. So we'll we'll see. I don't know we'll get there The dialogue in this film actually took a step backwards The lines between characters were not nearly as well written or fun or funny And that's one of the other things is the comedy in tremors one and tremors two is a lot better The dialogue is better written in those as well and just script wise overall is better It's still solid But you know, it's like I said in the beginning we're getting diminishing returns. That's Usually what happens with sequels. So This was during the period of movies really making jokes of how dumb and wasteful the government is And I think this movie kind of also goes down that road where they're kind of like Why is the government showing up and telling us we can't kill these creatures that are dangerous and are trying to kill us We've been living here. They just showed up yet. They're saying, you know, you got to move basically because these things are protected This in particular makes a point that blanket government rules don't necessarily work for all towns And in this instance the towns towns folk know what's better for them because obviously as you see in the film The government shows out of no up out of nowhere They don't really know that much about the creatures even definitely don't know much about the town And they're trying to tell these people how they're supposed to operate how they're supposed to live Even worse telling them you got to get out of here because we've decided you can't stay here because these things are here And they're probably thinking, okay, these things were here before We're the ones who discovered them. We let you know about them and we had to fight them and kill them Then we're just going to keep doing that and that's what ends up happening But then they turn it around in the end and they use that kind of government rule well government law to Save their town in a way. So it's kind of kind of funny like that. So I had a hard time coming up with my uh overall rating on this one So out of five stars with half stars in play. I was between two and two and a half So I went with the two it felt more two than two and a half But if I was doing quarters, I would do 2.25. So just know that But anyway, put your comments down here about tremors three Let's talk about it and know that tremors four is coming And tremors five and tremor six and we'll do it But real quick do me a quick favor hit that subscribe button If you like any videos I do not just this one But any of them because it literally takes you a second That's your way to pay me back because I'm just giving everyone free content here So and I like doing it, but I need to stay encouraged.
