A water attack uses the worst editing ever to completely avoid showing the action. The scene goes by so quickly, it’s impossible to tell what actually happened, and surely the shaky cam effects are used to hide stock footage from some other bomb Asylum dumped on an unsuspecting public. Oh, and this is a movie where a pterodactyl caws like a modern eagle. Really.
The main foe here is a carnivore, and unlike the eventual DVD cover, looks nothing like a T. rex. Instead, the characters rattle off a different name for the creature and leave it at that. After a few close calls with the inconsistently sized beast, the critter is inadvertently sent to modern day L.A. This is where things really pick up.
For sheer fun factor, nothing beats seeing the actors running around avoiding the monster in the foreground while people in the background are clearly going about their daily lives. Even the final shot is ruined by a random person walking through a tunnel as if a giant dinosaur never appeared there a second ago. Padding this “epic” modern struggle are stock shots of the city from overhead and the constant wail of sirens from rescue vehicles that never actually appear on screen.
Maybe Michael Gross should contact his agent and get into talks about doing another Tremors flick. But, if he’s sunk this low, there may be no chance for recovery. As for the other unknowns in the cast, well, maybe there’s other work out there for you.
