Future cop 4

"Trancers 4: Jack of Swords" is an awkward fourth entry in the cult series "Trancers" continuing the adventures of Jack Deth. The thing that makes this so weird is that it takes place during the mideaeval ages in another dimension where trancers have taken over. Some funny moments but disapopinting sequel in the low budget series. But make sure to watch this one before number 5 or you will be really lost.

Trancers 4 (1994) is another installment in the series I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline for this picture focuses on our hero, Jack, being sent to a world with Trancers whose time is like medieval times on Earth. Jack quickly notices that his space travel has changed how his weapons perform. Can he bring down the Trancers with limited capabilities? This movie is directed by David Nutter (Game of Thrones) and stars Tim Tomerson (Dollman), Stacie Randall (Eddie Presley), Terri Ivens (Marked for Death) and Stephen Macht (Monster Squad). The storyline for this is unique from the previous films and kind of fun. Some of the scenes with his various weapons were hilarious as was the dialogue. The action scenes were okay but the villain is kind of blah. Overall this is still a fun series and I'd score this installment a 5/10.

Jack Deth (Tim Thomerson) is back in 2353. After wiping out the Trancers, he has been working for the council and fixing the time line. He is alone again. He gets new gadgets. His new mission sends him to a medieval world which is ruled by Trancers called Nobles. They are literally sucking the life out of normal people.

This sci-fi franchise is trying to go medieval. This B-movie is trying to jump into another B-movie genre. At times, I do wonder if this is trying to be a satire of the original. When Deth goes into slow-motion, I almost thought that it's making fun of itself. Medieval could be done well but this is not it. There is no excitement or thrills. There is no tension in the story. At least, Tim Thomerson is back. Otherwise, there is nothing here.

After losing his android partner in battle, along with other friends, Jack Deth (Thomerson) is accidentally transported to an alternate dimension where Trancers reign supreme and are vampire like killers, suffice to say Jack Deth straps on his blaster and joins forces with the rebels to tip the scales. There are a few good jokes that work here, mainly a take on Thomerson and his long second watch, also as usual Thomerson is fun to watch, but the movie lacks any real creative energy or ambition of the last two. Trancers 4 than feels too much like a sword and sorcery flick than a time travel flick which is what made the series fun. Fans of the series will enjoy this one and again it's watchable, it's just that, Trancers 4 has nothing new to add and is therefore disposable.

* * out of 4-(Mediocre)

Ok this one is good but there starting to lose it a bit, it just dident have the magic that the past 3 movie did. I felt that this one was to comic book like and really dident go anywere. But don't get me wrong I still enjoyed it but just not like the other one's.

7/10
