Trancers is a very classic 1980's sci-fi feature in which the special effects though appropriate for the times are now so out of date that the film now appears to be a bit campy but it is still a film for all sci-fi fans who can appreciate 80's effects and some good camp. Personally I quite enjoy the film and I love the fact that it has an engaging plot to go along with its effects and decent amount of humor. Plus, the small to mildly moderate amount of romance - which propels the film along in a certain sense - doesn't hurt either.

Loved this movie in the 80's can't go wrong! Helen Hunt still looks hott even 20 years later, haaa.

Fifty-cent Sci-Fi with a nod to The Terminator and Blade Runner; features a criminally underused Tim Thomerson and an early outing for Helen Hunt. Despite the budget director Band makes the most of his two `stars' and the plot, involving time travel, murderous zombie henchman and a washed up alcoholic baseball star provides ample entertainment to keep even the most po-faced critic happy - its funny too! The set design is also sufficiently retro to more than satisfy fans of fifties Sci-Fi classics.

I remember seeing Trancers on cable back in the mid-eighties. This film, although a very cheap B-movie, has got so much style that you can't help but love it. Obviously, the movie "borrows" much of its style and visuals from Blade Runner as well as the characterization of the protagonist, Jack Deth, but even so, Tim Thomerson's performance, a brilliant soundtrack, and a VERY original plot and story line combine to make Trancers a cult classic. The sequels never quite measured up to the original (which is usually the case), so the first film alone is worthy of any DVD collection. Aside from occasional foul language and "suggestive" sex scenes (no nudity), the older kids might be able to enjoy this one with mom or dad who probably remember seeing this one back when they were teenagers.
Bottom line: if you like action films, you gotta see this one. If you like sci-fi films: you gotta see this one. If you like Tim Thomerson, you gotta see this film.
What are you waiting for?

I love this story. I mean, after all, with a protagonist named Jack Death, what's not to love?
But the quality bites! The video is fuzzy and glary. What a disappointment.
