SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Samiam3 Ten Years after the fourth sequel, Steve Wilson and Brent Maddock have handed over the keys to the kingdom of Tremors.Up till now, the franchise has been restricted to Nevada and Mexico (with one scene in Chile). Now we are in Africa.The African cousin of the Graboid is a creature just as big, but so much more absurd looking that it is inevitably the highlight of the movie. In terms of visual effects, the CGI is miles ahead of the other sequels, but then again, think of how far computers have come in ten years. Michael Gross reprising the coming of age Burt Gummer still has some lead in his barrel, but he is getting a little tired. The script gives him two or three new toys, as well as a criminally dull new partner in no-name actor Jamie Kennedy.This sequel summons a somewhat darker, less cartoony tone than the previous entries. Some might appreciate that, but the movie needed more laughs. Still, if there are any Tremors fans left out there, This film will give you what you want.

The Duke of Movietown Just when you thought it was safe to switch to the Sci-Fi Channel, look who's back on the block! TREMORS! Michael Gross and Jamie Kennedy star in the newest installment of one of my favorite film series. Directed by actor turned director, Don Michael Paul who has helmed a series of direct to video sequels including Jarhead 2, Lake Placid 4, Sniper 5 and coming soon Kindergarten Cop 2 (I know what you're thinking, but bear with me), Tremors 5: Bloodlines tells an extremely familiar story centered around Burt Gummer and his new videographer assistant as they hunt down extra large versions of the subterranean ground grapplers we all know and love across the South African planes. If that sounded a lot like the plot of Tremors 2 with a few proper names flipped around, you'd be right but if you also think this movie is straight up garbage, you might be surprised.I know that I've already front loaded this review with a lot of bad stuff but let me now tell you what is good about it. First of all the story is way better written than you'd expect it to be with plenty of nods and asides to the original film and all it's sequels. The CGI is also way better this go round than an any of the other Tremors sequels. That coupled with competent cinematography and pretty decent acting from the supporting cast makes this movie a little better than your standard B-movie fare. In short, somebody really came to play! It's not perfect however, the pacing is a little squirrelly at times, it references a few other movies a little too closely and the ending is not quite all aces but on the whole it's an enjoyable small movie that's just inches away from being a legit film and if you're a Tremors fan, you'll really enjoy it.All in all, this B-movie is pretty rad and believe it or not, it's bordering on badass at times. In my opinion it's the best of the sequels and definitely worth a peek this Halloween season. Tremors 5 earns itself a hearty 3... out of 5.

Charles Herold (cherold) 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.

doofuspoofus First off I think its pretty obvious that only the character Burt can truly keep the Tremors franchise going at this point. And let's be honest the first one is the best one and also truly the only one that should have been made in my opinion however it's a cool franchise however cheesy it may have become.I thought Jamie Kennedy's character was funny enough and the hot African chick was a nice little add on. It's hilarious how some parts were reminiscent of Jurrasic Park. I was just glad they didn't make the graboid's claws tap on the ground.All and all it was entertaining. It was funny even though at times it tried too hard to be but I liked the updated graboid features including tentacles that detached. It was directed well and not shocking at all but it hints at a part six. If you're a tremors fan see it but if you've never seen a Tremors movie at all skip it. Although if you've never seen a Tremors movie see the first one. It's the only classic in a franchise of cheesy follow-ups.
