A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Way to go Full moon for crapping on a good series. I thought the medieval ones were bad. Doesn't even have Thomerson.

I would like to start by saying I would easily recommend this to Full Moon fans, time travel fans, Trancers fans, and science fiction fans. It is a fitting sequel in the series and some thought was put into it as far as the plot. Every rose has its thorns, though. I mention the next two points as a sci-fi guru who has witnessed a lot of movies. First and foremost, when Jack Deth (henceforth known as JD) jumps into his daughter/ancestor, she is clean living as a vegan who does not smoke and drink in any respect. So since it is his daughter/ancestor, what does he do? Starts smoking and drinking in her body! In a perfect world, this is going according to plan, and his family line continues. If he stays behind in her body (which he does to hunt Trancers/protect her), what if she got cancer or liver failure before having a child, and thus un-creating the line of JD? This seems really irresponsible, given he understands the ramifications of time travel. Even if this is according to plan in the time stream, my second point kills it a little more. JD lands in the body of his daughter/ancestor, okay? He is a male mind in the body of his own daughter/ancestor. He does not dig men and this conflicts with the creation of his family tree. I know that he stays behind to protect his daughter/ancestor, but if he cannot get into digging men, he has to leave in time to have his next ancestor be born from her. Unless he knows exactly when her offspring is born, the problem is complex. People are born in certain conditions and if he stays too long he jeopardizes everything. The writer, producers, and directors made a great movie, and I would LOVE a Trancers 7, but with such a great 6 movies, somebody should have thought of these factors in the story. Either way, this really is a great movie. Rent it, watch, it, then buy it. You will enjoy it.

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT* I bought this video for three bucks. Although I haven't seen a single Trancers movie, I decided to skip ahead and jump right into "Trancers 6". I saw a babe with a big gun on the video box cover. That's all I needed to know about "Trancers 6". Now I realize that I was rash and foolish. I can only assume that the appeal of these movies is the wisecracking Jack Deth, Trancer killer. Well, in "Trancers 6" they do away with him by having him "possess" his daughter and have her do all of the killing. So we get this babe walking around acting tough, telling horrible jokes and killing Trancers as cheaply as possible.Bashing "Trancers 6" for being a cut-rate sci-fi B-movie is only stating the obvious. But I'll do it anyway. "Trancers 6" is cheap, brain-dead and pointless. Somehow I've got to get my standards above my current "Hot Chick with big gun is good enough". It's going to take awhile.

I know that Full Moon, or any other film studio for that matter, could never recapture the fun and cheesy sci-fi feeling that was the original `Trancers.' And with the last two entries in the series having Jack Deth in medieval times instead of futuristic Los Angeles, it became quite obvious that there really was little hope in reviving the Trancers series. Breathing new life into a film is one thing, but taking our main character out of his element and putting him into the past, well, it didn't work! So now with Trancers 6, Full Moon has breathed so much new life into the series that we don't even deal with Jack Deth any more. We now deal with his daughter, Jo. Jack is in her body and must go into the past and fight the Trancers one more time.*MINOR SPOILER: FIRST SCENE OF THE FILM REVEALED* To prove how bad this movie is, you only need watch the first two minutes of the film when the original Jack Deth appears on the screen. But it's not actually Tim Thomerson. It's clips of him and sound bytes strung together (trust me, you can tell they're strung together) horribly to provide the viewer the last of the true Jack Deth humor. And from this point on, things only go down hill. Having this girl, Jo Deth, as our main character while Jack Deth is supposed to be in her body, is the worst idea in the world. Having this cute young woman act as a rough and tough man isn't the right track at all! It doesn't work and it really comes off as foolish. I'm not going to go into the aspects of special effects and makeup because most reading this know what Full Moon has become: A really, really, low budget enterprise. I don't know what to say about this movie, except I really wish Full Moon could be like it was in the days of Demonic Toys, Puppet Master, and Trancers 1. Back then, while the special effects weren't great, the story telling was. They made serious b-movies for serious B movie and horror fans, and that just doesn't take place today with the new Full Moon Studios. I yearn for the good ol' days, and truly hope, that Full Moon can pull itself out of this horrible slump that they're in right now. Trancers 6 gets a 2 out of 10.
