After a great deal of convincing, Earl joins a newbie,
Grady, in Mexico to go Graboid hunting. In the end, $50,000 per kill was too
much of a deal to pass up. While there, Earl begins to remember exactly why he
didn’t want to help out to begin with.
Just like the first movie of this series, “Tremors 2:
Aftershocks” was a lot of cheesy fun. The movie stands as proof that a creature
feature doesn’t have to have an overkill of special effects in order to be
good. Like the first one, the creatures were probably made out of stuff we
could find at Lowes, but the story and script were amusing enough that there were
no problems holding my interest. It was funny, not so big on the horror, but
that’s where the cheese factor comes in.
I wondered if I would miss Kevin Bacon, but I found he
really didn’t cross my mind in the slightest. In fact, I believe Fred Ward had
a better chemistry with Christopher Gartin and it was good to see that. Gartin
was the biggest surprise for me. His acting was much better than one would
expect for this kind of movie. I spent a good chunk of the movie, however,
trying to remember where I know him from. Even looking at IMDB didn’t help. It
looks like he’s done a little of everything.
For a sequel, “Tremors 2: Aftershocks” was great, but it was
nowhere near as good as the first one.
Netflix’s Prediction for Me – 3.8/5
Overall Opinion – 4/5
