Tremors 5: Bloodlines (2015)

I seen bad reviews, but the movie doesn't deserve it. Looked like they could use more budget, however the characters are fun, Burt Gummer is still awesome, the movie is action packed. They used practical effects too, not only CGI. There are goofy jokes, but the movie also has it's horror elements, the body count, etc. The female character has some serious Lara Croft - action, even her clothes look like hers. I would say if you love the franchise, you are going to like this movie too.

I've been hooked on the Tremors film series from the start. If you've seen the original Jurassic Park then watch out for a scene in Tremors 5 that pays tribute to it and goes one better.Also, it has its own version of Lara Croft (Tomb Raider).Now for Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell. Oh, and I also see their making a TV Movie with Kevin Bacon but no mention of Michael Gross (Burt Gummer).

Tremors 4 wasn't a great movie, but it had some excitement in it. The same cannot be said for Tremors 5, which has remarkably little in the way of thrills and suspense.There's also not much in the way of story or character. This time around it's basically just the Burt Gummer show, with other characters ranging from bland to irksome. And because the story soon separates into two separate threads that connect poorly, there is no real sense of momentum. And with no character development, you don't have much reason to care if these people live or die.There are a bunch of logic issues as well, and all sorts of clichés, but I don't need to name everything wrong with this movie. The point is, nothing is done very well.At the same time, it is perfectly watchable and keeps moving. So there's that. But if this is the best they can do, it's probably time to shut this thing down.

If you enjoyed tremors two and three you will enjoy this film. However the characters I felt were a little less appealing around Burt and I didn't particularly like Travis who felt like he was playing Grady from the second film. The obvious appeal to this film is once again the brilliant Burt Gummer who is played by Gross and there are some fantastic one liners and moments which should get you laughing out load. I am a massive fan of old style animatronics in these films but CGI was used, however the CGI was pretty good for a film on such a budget and was wwwaaayyy better than in T3 and T4. A little like recent Bond films there are several winks to previous films in this movie which are nice but you have to be a slight anorak to get them, which might put new viewers off as they won't get the jokes. I didn't think this film is as good as the original three films as they just have a nicer "feel" to them. However I did really enjoy this film and it is w worthy addition to the franchise. I hope the make a sixth film :)
