Another Neeson film and much like his other outings entertains well enough

<><><>
Burt Gummer and his son Travis Welker find themselves up to their ears in Graboids and Ass-Blasters when they head to Canada to investigate a series of deadly giant-worm attacks. Arriving at a remote research facility in the artic tundra, Burt begins to suspect that Graboids are secretly being weaponized, but before he can prove his theory, he is sidelined by Graboid venom. With just 48 hours to live, the only hope is to create an antidote from fresh venom — but to do that, someone will have to figure out how to milk a Graboid!
<><><>
Dear me this is a silly film in the Tremors franchise...
That is my view although this is the first in the series that I have watched.
The visual and special effects are good enough but the storyline was at times a bit suspect.
Fans should like this but to be honest I did not.
