    UnowPriceless hyped garbage
    Konterr Brilliant and touching
    Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
    Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
    SpikeW Following on from the first three films in the 'Tremors' line, the TV series is very much a similar setup: nasty beasties, robust townsfolk and plenty of silly comedy. I've been a fan of 'Tremors' since I caught the original film on TV one night back in the 90s.The positive side is that several of the original locals are still around. Burt is paranoid, survivalist and a source of humour as always. Nancy remains in town, although her daughter has gone off to college. Jodi runs the shop that her father had before her. Of course, there's a negative side: Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon (Earl and Valentine, respectively) are no longer around. There are also new faces, most of which unfortunately cater more to the desperate 'political correctness' of television than to the series: an hispanic lady, a native american who works on her farm, the 'hunky' male interest and, of course, the visiting female scientist. Thankfully, after a few episodes, the actors (who I had never seen before, personally) all settle in nicely and bring their characters to life. Add to this frequent cameos by the truly fabulous Christopher Lloyd as the hermit ex-governmental mad scientist - who also provides the expanding storyline - and it's a formula for light, easy entertainment.Recommended viewing, but don't expect deep, meaningful television.
    mrs_claus10 I Really Enjoy Watching This Series VERY MUCH! I also enjoyed all of the movies and I'm looking forward to seeing the new movie also. I am not fan of HORROR/SCI-FI movies, but these movies and the Series is a very definite exception.
    Sum Boddy A wonderful adaptation to the wonderfully enjoyable movies! Burt Gummer and the rest of the Perfection town (all 6 or so of them) deal every week with a new problem. I loved and own the 3 movies and plan on buying the 4th as soon as it comes out. Since Sci-fi is seeming to slip (Canceling shows when they're popular or just building fan bases) I figure it won't make it to a second season, but every episode will be a pleasure. Not many movies can make a transition to a TV show successfully, however I feel Tremors 'hits the nail on the head'. With Michael Gross returning to play Burt Gummer makes you feel he either loves the character or is really needing some money. Either way its a plus. 10/10!
    slv2fun First Impressions of Tremors: The Series.The series is kind of wacky. Not that the first three movies were exactly classic cinema like Casablanca, Citizen Kane, or masterpiece thriller like Psycho! But that's the attraction. I thought the strength of the production is in it's concept. This is a campy, quaint, low-budget show...it will never be a Terminator 2 type sci fi effects extravaganza, it sure ain't a high concept stylish disaster love epic like Titanic, It is just plain cute, fun light romp.I like the series. I can relate to the characters, they are human and all have good stories behind them. They are more human, with human foibles and not the plastic perfection cardboard you see coming from Hollyweird these days. The drama is light, which is a nice change in the time of our illegal invasion...err war of "freedom". I like Burt's eccentricity, I wish he'd run for president. Jodi... mmmmm yummy! She's very natural in her role. (and cute, not plastic) Nancy's character makes a nice contrast to Burt Gummer's... But the Rosa chick was just tryin' too hard to be the hottie! Turn off! What happened to Nancy's daughter? I saw Nancy and her daughter in the Tremors movie and watched them grow...watched them beat graboid after shriekers...Now the team is broken up!! Well, I guess some of the living had to move.Overall I enjoyed the TV Tremors, although the episode with the mutating green cloud was a little too far away from the original concept. It was distracting ...and the V8 powered garage vac ...what the heck was that? Did BA Barrakus and the A-Team move to Perfection after they retired from the Los Angeles Underground? It was a little like Jesse James and Monster Garage wrapped up in Mguyver, covered with Tim Allen and Home Improvement! Overall, not bad for a start. There's nothing really to hate on this series! Good Luck Tremors team!
