Review of Trancers 6

Trancers 6 (2002 Video)
7/10
Really good movie, but has some flaws
10 June 2016
Warning: Spoilers
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.
