210th Blog!! Tremors Week: Tremors 3: Back to Perfection

Welcome back campers to Day 3 of Tremors Week.  We are in the swing of things on this happy hump day so why not have some more Graboid adventures?  I mean c’mon you have a fair amount of free time if you are reading this blog.   So what say we go back to where it all began?   So stockpile your bomb making material, prep your RC car bomb bait, and get your BFGs ready.   This is Tremors III: Back to Perfection.
 
Come fly with me!! Let's fly..let's fly away!!!




Burt: Need I remind you Jack? They are not your friends they are spoilers. OVER!







11 years after the first Graboid encounter, the town of Perfection has settled and getting a bit of a tourist attraction feel.  Chang’s Market has been taken over by Walter’s niece Jodi (Susan Chuang of Dharma & Greg, Melvin Goes to Dinner, Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous, Cold Case and Escort Service) Nancy (Charlotte Stewart of Little House on the Prairie, Eraserhead, Tremors and Slums of Beverly Hills) gets her pottery collection is going well but she cannot afford for Mindy (Ariana Richards of Tremors, Timescape, Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Battledogs) to college. Miguel (Tony Genaro of La Bamba, Tremors, Phenomenon, The Mask of Zorro and Mighty Joe Young) is tending to his horse ranch and it is striving.  Out of town in Chile a Graboid sighting was taking place.  By the time the local government took the reports seriously the Graboid took on its secondary evolution known as Shrieker.  A hermaphroditical creature that doubles its number after enough food is allotted to it. 

Nothing phallic in this picture...honest.














Burt (Michael Gross of Family Ties, Big Business, Tremors, Tremors II: Aftershocks, True Heart, Ground Control and Combustion) has the right tools for the problem as these creatures hunt by heat emission.  Cutting close to 30 of these creatures down with a dual 50 caliber anti-aircraft gun turret he heads home back to Perfection only to find out some half assed nitwit calling himself Desert Jack (Shawn Christian of Crossing Jordan, Red Skies, Birds of Prey, Summerland, Boston Legal and Days of our Lives) hosting this mock up Graboid tours.   However the underground dwelling creatures may not be completely extinct in Perfection to the likes the town though. 

Burt Gummer is most annoyed with everyone letting their seismometer system go to pot.  Without proper monitoring they have no idea how long the graboids have been around and therefore no idea when they may become shriekers.  Everyone points out to Burt that he may be a bit paranoid and needs to relax.   Proven right Burt calls the town to action.  It is either them or the critters.
After combating a few shriekers they noticed husks have been shedded from the shriekers meaning yet another evolution has occurred with the creature.  They now can rocket to the sky with some sort of blast off capability and glide for great distances.  Jodi cruelly names these new species Ass blasters.  Yes, cue porno jokes left and right. 

GET SOME!!!!














I just have a few acknowledgements for the film.  Tippet Studio (Hollow Man, Blade II, Men in Black II, Hellboy and Catwoman) is responsible for the CGI portion and back to Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. (Alien 3, Death Becomes Her, Michael, Alien: Resurrection, Starship Troopers and Spider-Man) for the animatronics and prosthetic creatures as with the previous movies.  

The blending with CGI and physical props looks better with this film because the use of green screens versus the blue screen used for Tremors II.   This film is truly for the fans and not to be watched independently from the series.  With the same warped humor of the first two and creature surprises yet again it offers some inside gags and in general has a good nature of silly.
