Flatliners (2017)

An average movie

“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since there was a decent cast involved and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, the most annoying thing about this movie is the way it displayed how the film industry (at least, in the US) has become completely bankrupt creatively speaking. I mean, if they start to remake such B features from the 90’s, I’m afraid they are seriously hopeless. Another weird thing with this movie was that it was the last movie Elliot Page made before his transition (in fact, he has made only one movie since then) and it was just so weird to see him, well, when he was still a girl. Anyway, coming back on the movie itself, just like the original version, the concept was just terribly daft. Es” read more

"Another pointless Hollywood remake and this time it's the turn of Joel Schumacher's 1990 horror movie about medical students who attempt to find out what lies beyond death by conducting clandestine experiments that produce near-death experiences. This movie falls flat on it's face with a weaker cast than the original even though one of them in Kiefer Sutherland has a small role (he doesn't play the same character as before). James Norton is badly miscast. He's in his 30's and has to act like a s"

"9/10/17 Pointless reboot in which a group of medical students experiment in life after death experiences when they purposely kill themselves. The plot is still as unconvincing and dumb as before, only the mullets have gone. Ludicrous dialogue and lacking in thrills makes this a remake that didn't need resuscitating."

“This was a remake of a movie from 1990 that I only thought was OK. Hopefully, I thought, they will add to the original story and improve upon it. Instead, they just retold the original story with new characters.

The concept and story was fine for a movie in 1990, but didn't really work for me now. I had a hard time believing that there was no research done anywhere on near-death experiences available online that they could have referenced instead of making it up as they went along. And, why are they special? No one that has had a NDE has woken up with improved abilities, nor were haunted.

And, their planning was terrible. That it was such an ordeal to resuscitate the person every time makes you wonder how these fools ever got into medical school in the first place, si” read more
