Flatliners

Well done, trailer, you fooled me. The movie doesn't explore anything in the sci-fi department (only the single conclusion that in your death you relive your mistakes); the horror part is literally absent, except one jump scare and the only drama is how the actors are going to get invited to other movies. If nothing else, Flatliners surely can make you feel dead inside.

Kind of a blah movie. Wasn't exactly a fan of the original but it was at least memorable. Doesn't really deserve the hatred that it is getting, but this was a waste

Huh. I have to say, I'm pretty surprised at the negative reception to this. I rather enjoyed myself. This isn't some kind of modern masterpiece, nor is it trying to be, and even though I understand some of the things that weren't exactly great about it, they don't nearly tank my viewing experience like they seemed to for others. I think this is just trying to be a modern remake of a recognizable older movie, and I was entertained and invested in what I saw. You could do worse this weekend.

Why?

I loved Oplev's pilot for 'Mr. Robot', so I was surprised and disappointed that he would choose this project. The script tries to make us care about the tough competition in a prestigious medical school and the pressures of not living up to the great responsibilities of being a doctor, and this clearly have dramatic potential, but the characters themselves and how their trials and their experiments with the afterlife is presented are ... well... you know ... flat.

Even though the original is dubiously described as a cult movie by some sources, I have always viewed it as a cut rate sci-fi thriller. This new one ticks all the same boxes, yet the inclusion of Page, a horrid actress, and the relative faithfulness to the nonsense story in the original make this astonishingly less inspired than the easily forgotten movie it's based on.

It loses a little at the end but the overall it is entertaining enough.

It is a decent horror movie if you don't go in expecting too much. Decent visuals, decent acting (Page is great, even), mediocre to decent scares with good use of soundtrack and well-timed sound effects and silence. But don't expect a thought-provoking ending. One other problem with the movie: It doesn't really have a finale. It just ends at some point. Which was sort of a downer. But I somehow don't regret watching it, nor the fact that I am already starting to forget it.

It's hard to care about a bunch of assholes doing stupid things in a stupid movie.

No, I haven't seen the original, and no, I didn't realise it was a horror (though looking at the poster now seems silly). This is a completely mediocre film though. The story and concept were interesting enough but it's just not a good story.

Why did I expect a sci-fi movie?

Ellen sweetie, i love you, but this really ain't it.

Haven't seen the original movie, but I can still hardly see a need for a remake? As with The Lazarus Effect (similar horror flick of med students messing with the permanence of death), I wish this movie would have had a focus on medical suspense and not cop out with "easier to write" Christian homily of moral consequences. Blargh.

One swallow doesn't make a summer - and much like so, an Ellen movie, sadly, doesn't make a gay movie

Sonraki yaşamı doğru şekilde izleyiciye anlatamıyor hatta anlatmıyor bile film doğru düzgün bir yere bile bağlanmıyor,mantık hatalarıyla dolu,geren bir sahnesi bile yok.. Ellen Page için izledim diyebilirim.

I don't know if could name five movies worse than this.

Steaming pile of feces.

all praise comes from it not being as bad as it couldve been.deathplane&hallucinations not scary but neither are they obnoxious jump scare extravaganzas.at least a little thought put into the scary bits even if execution couldnt create fear.As a horror fan not coming down too hard on this"not obnoxious" is a huge feat in horror films, The cast works well enough with characters that are essentially your trope teenagers aged into medical school.

Silly plot muddied by lame acting performances. Had some good moments but mostly failed to capture my interest.

Very bland remake of pretty good, but not great movie. What is this have going for? Norton is quite allright and probably thats it. No likeable characters, whos on his right mind is thinking Luna is good lead? Cause everytime i see i wanna puch his scrawny ass. Boring beyond hell.

Asıl korku öğesi Keifer Sutherland ve Ellen Page'in bu projeye dahil olmaya iten karanlık.

Incredibly uninspired, monotonous and just plain bad.

Truly disappointing. Hollywood takes another big classic and turns it into a moralistic play with some crappy Hollywood ending. Don't waste your time on this.

Absolutely gobsmacked this made it to a theatrical release. 10 points for the entertainment value within the sheer Wiseau-ness

I really thought people were over exaggerating when they said this film was the worst....I was wrong.

So...if ellen page would ever be brought back from the brink of death...you think she'd be haunted by this movie?

bad movie
