Artivels Undescribable Perfection
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
adonis98-743-186503 Tremors 2 is not as awesome as the first film but still pretty close it's full of laughs, action and Michael Gross as Burt is a perfect casting the dude is badass. Also the film has a lot of explosions and the effects on the Graboids are really cool sure they used stop motion also but still pretty cool. As the film goes on the Graboids stat to develop and they become smarter they even get legs and they run like hell also they have a heat vision (it reminded me a lot of Predator) if you loved the first film you will love this one also it was fun not as good as the Original but still pretty cool for a sequel. Final Verdict: 10 out of 10.
gavin6942 When an army of Graboids - giant, carnivorous underground worms - threaten the Petromaya oil refinery in Mexico, its owners call on Earl Bassett (Fred Ward), who once helped kill four of the creatures in Perfection, Nevada.TV Guide wrote, "This movie is a rarity among direct-to-video sequels, one that's not only worthy of its theatrical predecessor but suggests that it too, belongs on the big screen... Despite the significantly lower budget, the monsters remain entirely convincing." This is spot on. Although the 1990s were full of countless horror sequels, most were garbage. This one, despite the low budget, offers a high-quality film with creative new (and good looking) monsters.Anyone who liked the first film definitely needs to see the second.
badfeelinganger When a movie is successful, it is usually only a matter of time before a sequel is made. Sometimes the sequels are good and other times they are horrible. It took several years after the release of Tremors, but Tremors 2: Aftershocks was released. Tremors 2 has both laughs and thrills, like the original it was worthy of theatrical release Despite the significantly lower budget, the monsters remain entirely convincing.I loved the first movie so much that I really enjoyed visiting with these characters again. There are plenty of funny moments and some of the spirit of the first film is still here. Things pick up a bit when the monsters metamorphose into a new form. Fans of monster movie comedies may find this worth watching. Tremors 2: Aftershocks was set some time after the first movie. It was never said how much time had passed, but I'm guessing it had been a few years. Val was briefly mentioned near the beginning in a short explanation about why he wasn't around. Once Burt was back, it was said how his wife Heather was visiting her sister. From what Burt said, she had been there for a while and it seemed like their marriage was in trouble. It would have been nice if she and Val had been back. I am glad that there was an explanation for why they weren't around. There was a decent connection to the first movie while still having a plot that wasn't just a copy of the original. The movie could stand alone, but certain things would make more sense if the movies are watched in order.The first movie had a bit of mystery in it before it was shared exactly what the monsters were and how people were being killed. There really wasn't much mystery in Tremors 2: Aftershocks since Earl and Grady knew they were dealing with when they went to Mexico. A small amount of mystery was added in once something strange started happening with the monsters. It did take a little while before it became clear what happened. That added a few surprises with the way the creatures changed and were doing new things. Changing the underground creatures a bit did help to keep things interesting.
TheLittleSongbird While not as sprightly paced, as assuredly directed or as skillful in terms of camera work as the original, for a made-for-video sequel, this really is not bad. I was expecting shoddiness and derivative elements but Tremors 2 was really entertaining and surpassed my expectations completely. For one thing, the scenery is really nice and sets the atmosphere well. Secondly, the film is sharply written, and has its fair share of funny lines while being smart as well. Thirdly, the graboids are very well designed and the attacks are quite shocking, thanks to the soundtrack and the sound effects. Fourthly, the performances are engaging, Fred Ward reprises his role as charismatic and cool Earl and does a very good job, while Christopher Gartin is suitably chirpy as his assistant and Michael Gross is hilarious once again as Burt. Fifthly, and finally, it actually manages to stay true to the jokey spirit of the original. Overall, as far as sequels go this smart and entertaining follow up is one of the better ones out there. 7/10 Bethany Cox
