Great Film overall
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Shortly after the gabby Trancers II, a six and a half foot tall trancer called Shark materialises in convenience store to bring Jack Deth back to the 23rd century, to give him his newest assignment. Convenience store trancer looks like a mutant fish from a 1950s B-movie; too silly, even for a series like this, especially when the overall tone of this film is much darker and more violent than its two predecessors. (Great line from a cop however, to Shark: "Hey, bonehead! I'm talking' to you!") As far as the plot, it's mostly business as usual here, with Jack Deth being sent back to hunt still more trancers unleashed in modern day L.A., this time, by the US government.With her character now separated from Jack Deth, Helen Hunt has merely a two-scene cameo, as does the delicious looking Megan Ward; the latter's presence, especially, is sorely missed by this reviewer. Shorter run time should help to keep the pace from lagging, but it seems as though it takes forever for anything of note to happen. A bit of S&M seems out of place, as does the American Gladiators-inspired fight sequence. As with part II, the two deaths at the end of the film are badly photographed and edited.It is good that the filmmakers tried to change the tone of this film, rather than copying the first film again, but the downside to that is, that this film is hardly any fun at all.
Yip I luv trancers,I have only seen1,2 and 3.I think the first one is amazing,the second one is quite good too,but the third one it's ok I suppose. I was disappointed mainly becuaese lena and deth are getting divorced. Well in the first one,jack decided to wait in the past with lena,so he gave up his life in the future,for her,now they are splitting up,ungreateful so and so. Well the plot wasn't great either,but it was to be expected,and I didn't like deths' partner either,he was a bit hopeless really,shark I think he was called,I mean he didn't help much did he,hopeless. But I did like megan wards character,she was more tougher than before,but she wasn't all together soft in the second one though. But if you have saw other trancers films and liked them,I suggest you watch it if you get the chance,it is watchable but a little disapointing
These films keep getting better and better, Trancers 3 is good but not as good as the second one but better then the first one, thats so far. I think they should carry on making these films forever there so cool. And once again the acting is great.10/10
I liked this movie, as I tend to like movies from Full Moon Pictures. However, unlike some people, I would not go as far as to say that it was the best of the Series. I have only seen parts I, III, and VI, and so far, I & VI were both better than this. Why? First off, in this movie, the thrills and scares don't really come at a good time. The action builds up to a point to where Jack is "bullet proof", so we know what to expect, and end up bored. Also, nothing really makes us pay full attention to this movie.I would recommend it, but would recommend you get Part VI before.About 8 out of 10 pointsFans of Movies like this should Check out Puppet Master, Slumber Party Massacre, Skinned Alive, Sleep Away Camp, and other Full Moon Pictures flicks.
