There are sequels where it doesn't mean anything if you have or have not seen the previous entry (or entries for that matter). The Tremors franchise really is different in that sense. It also does evolve. Though some may miss the good old days of practical effects (versus the CGI we get).
We get recurring characters though and some may feel a bit too comfortable in their sense of humor for my taste. Especially the one you may know from the Scream franchise. Don't get me wrong, I loved his schtick in that other franchise, it just seems a bit redundant here. Our main hero (unlikely hero to be frank, especially considering the journey he took from the very early days of Tremors) remains as stoic and "fun" (I would consider him funny but others may not) as ever.
So while the movie overall is flawed, anyone liking the Tremors movies and has kept watching them, will not be too disappointed. Nicely done for anyone who still cares
