Justin T @RT08580778 Nov 4 This film is pretty bad with lots of eye-roll moments. The scanning is more like a superhero thing now. The writing is dreadful, especially the dialogue, there are way better ways to tell a story and many better stories to tell. I did enjoy the dance scene, using the scanning to make fun of people was a trashy but entertaining twist. The sound design is pretty bad, the cinematography looks fine though. Even the first film barely justifies making more, this franchise should have finished by now. The finale was pretty cool but overall not worth watching.

Le seul plaisir que l'on peut trouver dans ce film se trouve dans les mises à mort très sanglantes et plutôt originales.

The original was a dark intense sci-fi drama. But the sequels went to sillier places. They had a silly premise and they knew it. Where other movies have a goofy premise but still play it dead serious. A serious tone for a goofy premise makes the movie no fun. But they went full tongue in cheek with the tone and it made it a hella fun to watch. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. It has mild character issues and NO SPOILERS but the sequel bait leaves it open for a sequel that was never meant to be. If you like the super dark tone of the first movie than neither sequel is for you. See more 12/22/2021 Directed by Christian Duguay and written by B.J. Nelson — the same team that did Scanners 2, as well as some of the same actors — this film is not related at all to that movie. It's also way better than that movie. Helena Monet (Liliana Komorowska, Screamers) is a scanner who constantly deals with the horrifying side effects of those powers until her adoptive father's experimental Eph-3 drug drowns out the voices, but also causes her to lose all of her morals. She kills that father figure, takes over his drug company and also starts to take over all of the world's entertainment. Meanwhile, her adopted brother and fellow scanner Alex has been raised in a monastery where he'd have no outside voices bothering him, but now he must come back to a world he doesn't know to stop his sister. So yeah — amazingly, the third Scanners film is not all that bad. Even more incredibly, Scanner Cop blows this away.

I must be honest though some of this is funny as hell but not in a good way. See more Read all reviews
