…Trancers had a reputation as a minor B-movie miracle in the 80’s, and it’s still got a few USP’s, not least Helen Hunt in a Santa Suit and a rather special special-effect that predates the Matrix’s bullet-time…has a certain zip and charm...

Rated: 4/5

Any feature that centers on someone who takes drugs and wakes up in the middle of Christmas automatically makes my "Nice" list of holiday pictures.

I like cheesy 80s sci-fi but it was boring.

Tim Thomerson is Jack Deth! A future cop sent back to 1985 to blast zombies in L.A. Why wouldn’t you wanna watch this flick?

A clever concept aside, Trancers has neither the intelligence nor the filmmaking know-how to pull it off.

If you're in the mood for a Friday popcorn night with a 80's sci-fi flick that doesn't demand too much from the plot but promises an entertaining ride, Trancers is a perfect pick!

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

It's a cheesy 1980's man movie, watch it even if only ironically! A very sexy and young Hellen Hunt does not let you down!
