Best movie of this year hands down!
Surprisingly incoherent and boring
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Jack Deth (Tim Thomerson) has lived happily with new wife Lena (Helen Hunt) in L.A. for six years after he sent Whistler back up the line without a body. Whistler's brother E.D. Wardo has gone back to old California. McNulty is given two days to go back to capture him with the help of Jack Deth. Jack's future body is too damaged and he must return in the TCL Chamber. He's been offered a seat on the council. In the present, drunken baseball pitcher Hap Ashby has cleaned up his life and made a fortune from investments. Jack, Lena, Hap, and McNulty in the body of a girl face off against Wardo and his organization Green World which is turning the insane into trancers. Then Jack's deceased wife Alice (Megan Ward) shows up after he helps her escape from Green World.Trancers is one of my favorite sci-fi B-movies. The world is a fun mash up of sci-fi concepts. There's time-travel, time-dilation, and the zombie-like trancers. There is real charm to the lower budget B-movie. The sequel should be bigger but it's still the same level. They try to change it up by sending down Jack's dead wife. It's a wrong move. It makes Lena look bad. It's badly complicated. The rest is a retread of the first movie. This is disappointing.
I just thought this one had a better plot and better pacing and there were more Trancers in it than there were in the first one. I can remember everything about it, mainly that Jack Deth is back and must protect some politician or something. For a movie by Full Moon though it had a nice array of stars in it. Granted some of them you would expect to be in a "b" movie, others not so much. Once again, this movie just shows you that Full Moon Studios at one time actually put some effort into their films. The studio was rather good in the late 80's and early 90's then at a point it just seemed to turn out really bad movies. It went from films like this, to movies like the "Shrieker" and "The Dead Hate the Living" two rather bad movies that were somewhat enjoyable to movies that were even worse that were not so enjoyable to watch. I think they are pretty much gone now as I have not seen a movie by them in a long time now. Still, this one had good action and picked from the first movie and became the more superior flick in my mind.
I really enjoyed this film it was great, even better then the first one. It was great action,scifi,and even a bit of comedy. this film was done in such an excellent way, well done to all involved. I strongly suggest you see this film if you havent already.10/10
I really enjoyed this movie, it had action, plot and some funny one-liners, what I liked the best was the amazing cast: HELEN HUNT, JEFFREY COMBS, BARBARA CRAMPTON, MEGAN WARD, MARTINE BESWICKE, and TIM THOMERSON. I think this is one of the best movies that Full Moon did in the 90's. Its a fun film, watch it.
