In 1889, the town of Rejection, Nevada, depends on a nearby silver mine for its income. When a hot spring causes four eggs to hatch, several men who work in the silver mine are killed by whatever hatched from the eggs.
When a film series feels like it can’t go forward anymore it will do two things, do a prequel or set it in space. This film does the former and it worked.
Once again Burt Gummer takes the lead role and in this setting his character truly stands out, Michael Gross certainly knows how to make people laugh. Talking of the humor, it plays a big part in this film but it’s never overdone and is spaced out very well.
One thing that I was truly happy with in this movie is that there is so much less CGI than there was in the previous films. They’ve gone back to puppetry and animatronics, just the way special effects should be done. There is some CGI but it’s hardly noticeable.
My only problem with the film was the re-introduction of the rules to survive. I understand it was needed for the films plot but this is stuff the audience already knew and does become a bit irritating.
This film was a fun end to a fun franchise, I’m glad they knew it was time to put the series to rest and decided to bow out with this entry. Yes it has a-lot of plot holes but take the film for what it is, entertaining.
“Tremors 4: The Legend Begins” is a fun flick, it’s a proper sunday afternoon, laze on the couch, have some snacks type of film and there’s nothing bad about that.
