I really wanted to like it, but it was an enterprise doomed to failure. Not only the graboids have a complicated life cycle that involves a flying version that uses igneous farts to propel themselves, but the movie is now located in South Africa and filled with clichés of how Americans see the place.
The monsters were cool enough, but the tension was gone, as well as the classic Tremors feel, where an isolated community gets together to defeat unbeatable carnivore beasts. Instead we have big guns easily killing big dumb animals. It's not a totally bad film for the Tremors "series", but certainly it is a disgrace to the original film.
Bottom line: watching it for the melancholy and the fun. Had neither.
