CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

bdk_solo SPOILERS This movie was pretty weak. The first 15-20 minutes is all a recap of part 4. There isn't much substance going forward and it just looked like everyone involved (actors, writers, crew) were exhausted. Being that there isn't much to this movie, I don't know why they didn't just tack it on to the end of part 4. There was some potential such as when Jack Deth kind of fights himself. But that just turned into a few weak slaps. The end is also rushed. It was like what little money they did have had run out and they just said, "everyone gather round so we can just film a nice "bow" scene to end this misery." Not the worst movie ever. Just felt like it didn't have much gas from the beginning. If you're a fan of the series, it's worth a view. Just don't go in with high expectations.

barnthebarn David Nutter directs this TV style fifth movie directly after his own fourth instalment. Seems Charles Band and Full Moon handed over the responsibility to a load of people unfamiliar with the series and told them to make a movie (well, two actually). Cast try their best, script is lifeless and the wooden, dull and additive Deth is here simply too drained to really work. Like the fourth movie this is a strange hybrid of Robin Hood (seems to be set in Sherwood Forest at times), Shakespeare plays and The Three Musketeers (though of course this is The One Musketeer!). This (and Trancers 4) were filmed at Charles Band's family castle in Romania and though an exceptionally striking place and one used to fabulous results in other films, here is is merely an option for cheapness. Unbelievably Trancers 6 (made several years later and virtually unrelated - something about a daughter) is even more obscure than the fourth and fifth instalments combined - and, Yes, they probably should be.

dr_foreman During this period, Full Moon took to making films back-to-back: Subspecies II & III, Trancers IV & V, etc. Some reviewers think that these paired-off entries are ultimately too similar to one another to count as separate movies. And they complain. Bitterly. But hey, major studios have started using the same technique - "Kill Bill" has been bisected, and "Lord of the Rings," which was filmed all in one go, was subsequently turned into three very similar movies (Here come the Orcs - run! Wait...here come our guys! ATTACK!).So, I don't mind that this film is, in some ways, a retread of its predecessor. In fact, the effects and acting are significantly better than they were in Trancers IV - maybe it took a while for all concerned to find their stride - and so it has a different feel to it. There's also a more focused, quest-style plot, as Jack Deth toddles off to the Castle of Unrelenting Terror to obtain a jewel called the Tiamond ("sounds like Diamond" - oh Peter David, your dialogue is just too much!).Bizarrely, several plot elements are plundered from "The Twelve Tasks of Asterix," including a siren-like seduction scene (in both cases, the spell is broken because the hero becomes hungry) and a scene in which ghosts are dispelled simply by being yelled at. Ah Peter David, I know where you get your ideas! I don't mind, though - a good sequence is worth repeating.All this praise aside, Trancers V does not stand up terribly well on its own, and the ending feels rushed and cliffhanger-like. Jack Deth impregnated someone? He's dying? He's going back to his own time? Wha??? Since the series never continued...not with this actor, or in this vein anyway...the final feeling is one of acute disappointment.So ends Jack Deth's final, oddball adventure in sword-and-sorcery land. Shame that he didn't get to appear in one more detective-style movie, but I still like the fish-out-of-water quality of his final battle against the nefarious Trancers.

Tonci Pivac Please no more, the fist 3 were good but now there just plane bad, don't bother with anymore. I watched this movie one night when I had nothing to do, And you know what? I wasted my time. The acting in this film was very good but the film itself sux. I hope that PART 6 is better.4/10
