Yep...Tremors vs. Dune but I think closer to Dune. What I would like to know is what language the "Afghans" were speaking. It was supposed to be Pushto, a language I do not know well, but the cadences were all wrong and it did not sound a bit like Pushto. Occasionally a Dari (Afghan Persian) word or short phrase would come up but embedded in pure gibberish. I was so annoyed by this that I almost did not bother to be annoyed about the rest of what was essentially an annoying film...although I could not stop watching it until the idiotic ending. Why didn't the guy at the end just throw a grenade or some such thing at the worm/serpent. Why did he throw himself into it's mouth. Also, since they seem to have dragged out a bunch of old worms from Dune, why did it not help to get to high ground. The soldier trapped under the truck seemed to know about "thumpers". I cannot imagine watching it again.
