 Thanks for checking out this movie review video. So this caps off my run of doing all the Tremors movies reviews this is for Tremors 6 a cold day in hell and This won't be the last one because we're actually going to get supposedly if everything still stays the way It's it's been planned out from what I've read. We will get a seventh Tremors movie this year October so we will see about that and that one is supposed to be called Mm-hmm. Where is it? Island Fury Tremors 7 Island Fury and yes The most important thing has been confirmed which is Michael gross will be in the film I don't know to what degree maybe just as a small role Maybe as a much larger role because as we know from Tremors 6 cold day in hell It looks like they're trying to hand the mantle over to Jamie Kennedy as Travis To be the new Bert Gummer so to speak, but we'll talk a little bit more about that But I'm excited that there's gonna be another one even though a cold day in hell I wouldn't necessarily recommend it because this is one of the worst ones. I Don't know if I like if I dislike this one more than number four because number four was like my lowest one I don't know. They're they're pretty close for me But yeah, so anyway, this is my last review for the movies But I'm also gonna be doing a review for the TV show which I found out is available on YouTube So stay tuned for that one So this one's directed by Don Michael Paul who also did Tremors 5 Bloodlines, which if you didn't see my review on that it's available on the channel. I did like that one That was a good kind of return to form after the disappointment of Tremors 4 The legend begins this was written by John Welpley and John Welpley only this is the very first time There's ever been a Tremors script that was written by one person and that's an interesting thing now Welpley was involved in the Scripts for Tremors 3 back to perfection Which is interesting because there are some Storyties back to Tremors 3 specifically and some ways they reference that film So it makes sense that that's why it was referenced so much as the guy who wrote the script also wrote that script And he also worked on the script for Tremors 5 bloodlines So he was involved with two of the good scripts So the fact that this script was actually not that great Was even more of a letdown because going into it when I saw oh John Welpley This could be good because he did three and five Now not so good in my opinion It's not the war like it's not the worst thing ever Like there was some stuff to enjoy with it and I'll talk about that but for the most part just not that good So Michael Gross is back in this one Which is the most important part as we know if you're a Tremors fan and Jamie Kennedy is back as Travis Which I thought he was good in Tremors 5 bloodlines, but he's annoying in this one It's like they amped his character up I think the writing of his character was amped up a little bit and and Jamie Kennedy played him more like Hyper and like in your face and I think maybe part of that is because they needed his Personality to rise up because they're trying to make him the new Burt Gummer So he kind of needed to kind of match the machismo and the loudmouth aspect of Burt Gummer But it just seems like overboard and on top of that It actually seems like they went overboard with the kind of back-and-forth between Burt and Travis Especially in the beginning of the film It does calm down a little bit as they go further into it But the very beginning like the back-and-forth they're having just ribbing each other A it's not actually funny when it's supposed to be funny and B it just goes on way too long It's like one of the jokes that they just keep trying to throw at you where it's just like here's the joke Oh, did you not laugh it at this time? Let me just tell it to you again. Oh, did you not laugh now? Let me just tell it to you again They just beat it to death and that's one of the things that really turned me off early in this film was their back-and-forth That need to be reigned in quite a bit and Jamie Kennedy's character Travis need to be reigned in quite a bit The original filming for this film was actually supposed to be done in the mountains of Bulgaria So yes, it was actually going to be done in a colder climate So there would have been actual snow now they couldn't do that because for some crazy natural reason Bulgaria ended up having the worst blizzard they've ever had and therefore they couldn't film there So what did they do? They needed to adapt because they still need to make the film They went back to South Africa to film so in the beginning when it looks like it's the mountains and it's you know Snow it's sand and with CG. They just made it look like it was snow Which if you're watching it you can tell like you can definitely tell that it's not actually snowing that it is sand if you know At least knowing this information. So yeah, so The does it doesn't look so good to be honest I feel like maybe they should have found another cold place to do the film So the problem is they then yeah So the opening scene was actually filmed in the desert and then they altered it to look like snow Then they used climate change in the film as a way to kind of explain away the fact that for the rest of the movie There's pretty much no snow Which you know at that point they were kind of able to get away with it because it's supposed to be Canada And you know Canada has some areas that there isn't a ton of snow all the time So and the fact that they kind of mainly stayed in like the research facility area actually helped as well So you kind of forget about that, but the beginning is just It's so obviously bad Yeah, you can tell it wasn't actually shot in the snow. Yeah But the first emergence of the Graboid is really really cool. That's the biggest payoff That's the initial payoff where he comes, you know flying out of the snow And is like spinning as he's coming out It looks good and the CG actually looks good on the Graboids and ass blasters in this film So I like that aspect of it Other than that But yes, I love the Graboids like jumping out of the ground that is a cool thing and Now Gummer runs the convenience store like Walter Chang did he's running Walter Chang's convenience store I did like that touch in this film I thought that was a fun cool kind of callback to the very beginning Because everyone liked Walter Chang in the first one. I assume because I did So the fact that Bert's there, he's actually kind of strapped for cash And that's it seems is one of the main reasons. He's running that convenience store Which puts him right back in the same situation that we're so familiar with with these tremors films is Bert or someone because it was Earl in the second one needs money. They're strapped for cash So what time is it? It's Graboid killing time for money, of course although Well, okay, he didn't I mean he didn't really get paid in the end He just got an exemption from the IRS and got his property back because Obviously in the beginning of this the IRS shows up and there is no worse Nightmare for Bert Gummer than the IRS showing up and saying government is seizing your property him being One of the people who most hates the government in film period So I thought that was kind of funny that that's how it started while he's working at this convenience store trying to get his money money back basically The ongoing joke in the beginning well It happened like a few times of him like changing teams and he's like no I just changed my hat dumb Which you know this kind of speaks to the script writing like I was saying the script writing is not that good and Especially the dialogue the dialogue is weak a lot of the what are supposed to be comedic moments are not funny at all they totally miss the mark and The I feel like the hat thing is is like the first thing in the film We were just like This is supposed to be like funny and that gave me a bad feeling From that point and it didn't get any better for for the comedic aspects There were a few small moments in it where I actually was like oh that was actually kind of funny for the most part No, the funny stuff was not funny In the beginning I kind of thought that like the flashback type things That Burt was having when he was sleeping on the roof of the convenience store I thought that was kind of like a PTSD type thing and they were gonna approach the film from that angle That could have been interesting, but instead they made it some sort of like Psychic link with the Graboids or something because he was infected because in the third movie Here's a reference to the third movie. He was eaten by one and went through its gastrointestinal system until he was cut out I Dumb like dumb like the PTSD aspect of it could have been really interesting and you could have made a film That's not just fun and funny. You could have made a film. That's also kind of poignant Now we decided not to go down that road Yeah Yeah, I wrote down Travis seems too dialed up in this one He's hyper and annoying and the back and forth between he and Burt is over the top and it goes on too long I cannot say that enough. That is one of the worst parts of this film The introduction of the ass blaster to Burt was actually a really good one in the beginning when they're flying into this research facility and The ass blaster is flying in the air and you're like, ooh, man How is this gonna end that was interesting that was a good way to kind of get things going and then the fact that it just like Beef set right into the propeller and it's just like grab boy guts all over cool. I like that. I just wrote Val and Rhonda's daughter That's stupidity The fact that this researcher who calls up Burt to come and kill the graduates is the daughter of Val and Rhonda Val and Rhonda from the first film It's a stretch to try and play on the nostalgia of the series and it doesn't work It's dumb and plus the fact that they already did the thing with Burt Gummer's son in Travis that and that was done. Okay, that was fine But when you're gonna go down the road again of here's another Offspring from the first movie. No No, let's let's just not it's done. Plus the actress was Terrible and that's the other thing is outside of Jamie Kennedy for the most part and Michael Gross the acting in this is bad. It's probably the worst. It's been in this whole franchise so boo to that It was only a matter of time before the Graboids took to water because there is that moment when they're in a water setting and someone Gets nailed by a Graboid that was the only thing kind of the franchise was really missing Which hopefully we see kind of more of that in the island fury one number seven That would be really cool for them to kind of explore them Kind of being like sharks because if people don't remember if you didn't see my review on the first tremors Which you should go check it out. I have all of them now It would the initial concept of the tremor or sorry of the Graboids was supposed to be Like sharks like they were supposed to be the oldest most ancient life forms Predators but for land instead of you know, so they were to land what the sharks were to the ocean So to take the Graboids to water would be really really interesting and they do it briefly in here And I thought they were gonna do more of it, but they didn't so hopefully that happens for the next one The infection of Burt by the Graboid Graboid is kind of an interesting tie back to the third one But it ends up not really working out because they needed to kind of develop that a little bit more and like I said I would have liked if they went down like the PTSD root more. It would have been way more interesting It feels like they they do the infection thing, but they don't really like flesh it out a whole lot It's just like this is some sort of like half cook concept. Let's there it is Okay I'm happiest when I'm seeing Graboid goo flying and there's just not enough of that in this film now Don't get me wrong the moments when the Graboid goo is flying are nice They do a good job with it, especially the one where it hits the electric electrified fence underground And there's like that giant explosion from underground that comes up and it's like a geyser of Graboid guts that is Probably my favorite part of the film to be honest And they do have some other good moments of that stuff, but there just wasn't enough There just wasn't enough Graboid death in my opinion and guts that come along with that death The romance between the scientists and Travis is eye roll inducing They don't they didn't hit it as hard as I thought they were going to but the amount that they put in there was still too much It's dumb. It's cliche. It doesn't have any part in this story. It just let's not you know what? I mean, it's the most cliche writing. It's stupid. We don't need it It's attracts from what we're here for fun killing Graboids Let's let's focus on that and the fact that this is one of the worst plot holes The woman who wouldn't get rid of her pants this dot this scientist Wouldn't let her pants go because when the Graboids pulling on it and she's going to die and Travis is saying take off your pants and she says no because I don't have underwear on That's not realistic Nobody in that situation would be like, oh, no, I want to keep my pants on because I don't have underwear. You're gonna die so This is what I'm talking about. The writing is not there. It is not there for this and Actually, the other thing to point out is that none of these people really seem to be Afraid of the Graboids at all, you know I understand Bert and Travis not really being afraid of the Graboids because they've dealt with them before plenty of times before But everyone else should have had some degree of fear or apprehension. It just seems like they show up Travis and Bert show up and everyone's all gung-ho like let's go kill these things that you know We don't think are dangerous at all. Like that's the way they're treating it and it doesn't feel realistic. It's it It's weird. It's it's dumb. It's bad writing Yeah, so But really that's kind of all I have to say about the actual events of the film like that You can't say oh a lot not a whole lot actually feels like it happens And I've been watching all these movies with my wife and she said Towards the end of the film. She was like it feels so random that like they're just doing all these things Randomly and it's not really cohesive and I agree with her on that assessment like it doesn't feel cohesive It does seem like they're kind of jumping from thing to thing to thing It's just like a bunch of random thoughts that went down on the script page And it just doesn't it doesn't work although, you know, I like the idea of them like Trapping the Graboid the way they trap the Graboid, but I don't know just Yeah So the acting in this is not good the dialogue is poor to boot I mean those two things together are really gonna hinder a film A lot of the intended comedy doesn't work. Yeah, it's pretty obvious They were trying to position Travis to take over the Gummer mantle because of his increased leadership role Which is really obvious in this and the line that was in the very beginning of it when Travis says that Or when Bert says that Travis is trying to be the heir apparent That's kind of the foreshadowing of where things are gonna go and then when we get to the point where you know Bert's laid up and Travis puts all his actual gear on and kind of looks a bit like Bert It becomes very very very obvious that that is where they're trying to go saying this could be the new Bert Gummer I hope not. I think they should just kill the films instead after that Yeah, the plan to catch let me go back to the very end of this the plan to catch the Graboid was actually really far-fetched And ridiculous the idea of catching the Graboid was fine And they could have done that but the way they did the plan it was so convoluted and everything had to be 100% exact and it just worked out that way and the Graboid had to react exactly how they thought it would You know, it's taking the aspect out of the Graboid that is they are smart And they learn and that's in the other films and that's for some reason not really in this film. So Yeah, it just screws with a lot of stuff Once the Graboids caught that's kind of a cool aspect, but how they do it is unbelievably dumb The scene of Travis crawling into the Graboids mouth though. That was cool It looked really good the way it was shot and it looked gross Which is important for something like that because you assume it would be very gross And in the end I do like how Bert kind of puts one over on the fed be feds because he's like Oh, here's your Graboid that you could use as a bio weapon now. I need my stuff. Oh everything sign sealed delivered Good Now I'm gonna kill this thing and he has the the little, you know RC plane fly in and they blow up the Graboid and there's more Graboid guts, which is great But yeah, so there are a few fun moments in the film, but overall Not good. There's a lot working against it not funny when it's supposed to be funny Script ratings just poor the acting's poor the dialogues really poor and it feels random So yeah, one of the worst film worst films of the series Which you know people would assume that for the sixth film, but number five was pretty good like I enjoyed that one So anyway with the possible five stars at play in here with it with a half star in play I'm gonna give it a one-star rating. This is not a very good film There's a little bit of fun, but not very good, but anyway, thanks for checking out this review Put some comments down there.
