This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I'd been obsessed with NDE for a while and this film is giving me a new perspective. The film unexpectedly takes a spiritual turn of events after a scientific perspective.
This was good for the most part but the ending was not as I would have liked.But it a horror so I should have not expected a happy ending.
Strictly on a personal level, I always felt that the original Flatliners was average at best. A missed opportunity to use the premise for frightening results, to unnerve, unhinge, whilst intelligently examining the life after death question. So when news of this 2017 remake broke I wasn't in the least bit surprised, the idea at the narrative core was ripe for further filmic delvings.Niels Arden Oplev's 2017 version is itself problematic, and a long way from being all the things I so wanted from the original film, but at least it has its own twists, a supernatural slant for scares. The makers are also to be applauded for making a truly bold decision in the story, rendering complaints about this not offering anything new as being redundant. Chances are that if you are a fan of the original film you will hate this, if like me you have no affinity to it then this is an ok time waster. While for those not familiar with the 1990 pic can go in for some mild shock and afterlife dalliances. 6/10
6 stars only because Nina Dobrev is sexy afGood original idea, some good scenes that are 'kinda' terrifying. But the development of the whole concept is very weak. Guys are not acting naturally (like instead of running, when it's scary, they enter/open that room/door... ), guys are scientists, but don't actually try to fix their problems scientifically, etc etc... The scene where she throws her laptop into the river is pathetic. Ever heard of recycling?
