Trancers III (1992 Video)
3/10
Terrible and tacky, sometimes tedious
24 May 2023
If the movie is for 10 year olds, then this movie I suppose is ok? But for anyone older than that this sucks big time. The best thing about this movie is that they kept the original music score and Tim Thomerson in place. The monster android is horrible. Just garbage. Fake looking and tacky and ridiculous. The poor man's Freddy Kruger. Should never be in a serious movie for grown-ups, serious as in this is certainly supposed to be a fun movie but not farceakle. The secret group trying to control the world has really cheap looking uniforms, the emblem and uniforms and their secret base look like their directly out of Disney World, literally. The leader is that one terrible actor who is really fake and unwatchable, fits to the shallow surroundings he created. How trancing evolved from some spiritual power in part 1, being grown in some weed in part 2, to now being injected by some chemical lab junk in part 3 is beyond me and was a very bad idea. The original idea was the best. Time travel is cool, but it's very badly portrayed. Doesn't look like the future at all. The time machine looks like something out of a 70's East European rip off of Dr. Who. They didn't have enough money to adequitly portray a dystopian future. It was a very bad idea that they changed the way they do time travel in Trancers, progressively changing it as the sequels move on. This one was the worst. At least they reverted partially to the original masks for the tranced zombies, cause in part 2 that was also a terrible mistake to change the trance look. Megan Ward is not an actress. Way overrated in looks and acting. She's out of place. Also can't be taken seriously. The movie is very tedious every time they force feed us the new actors. The blonde dude who goes bonkers in the night club and for no reason at all kills that one billiard player, sucks as an actor. That's why this was probably his only movie. The chicks weighing no more than 80lbs are a real treat for the eyes but when one of them is hitting herself in an attempt to make herself stronger and less affected by pain she seems to be breaking up in tears...?! Real challenge for a 250lbs muscle beast!!! The longer the movie lasts the worse it gets. I'll never watch part 4 or whatever else exists because the trailers alone are so horrendous I won't waste my life time. Most people don't even seem to know that there is a part 4 and 5. That oughtta tell you something. So yes, this is slightly better than part 2, not as tedious, at least there's some action here, but the android monster fish dude sucks so much that the flick immediately loses at least 3 stars.
