An unnecessary as unnecessary could be. Flatliners is poorly executed most of the way through. There are a few scares late that work pretty well but the ending is absurd. D+

This teeters on the lower scores for me. It had some really well done scares in a few places. It started off pretty strong, but it quickly fell apart like throwing a ball of yarn.

It started off pretty strong, but it quickly fell apart like throwing a ball of yarn. Soon towards the end nothing really made sense and character actions were equally as baffling. Even the resolution made me question the whole movie. How do you remake a movie worse? I mean the story was already written for you.… Expand

the main premise of this remake is the main character Courtney (Played by Ellen Page) accidentally killed her younger sister in a car accident, nine years later she is the most unprofessional med student in a hospital I've ever seen, she asks a patient that has just been brought in "your heart stopped beating for (insert time here), what was that like? did you see a light? a tunnel?" who asks that? where did you learn your bed side manner? the YouTube comment section? moving on, she then tries to recruit other med students (by lying to them) and then talks one of them into killing her with a plan to bring her back, so after that has happened she is able to do amazing things, then the others want their go as well, why? i don't know. i don't really want to die thanks, but you do you. after sometime she starts getting spooked and freaking out, same slowly happens to the others, their guilt manifesting as "Something" (demon, ghost, god no clue they never tell you) after Ellen Page's character has a run in with her dead sister they come to the conclusion they need to apologise for what they did wrong. and that seems to fix things. with a tale of love and loss, and growing as a person they end up being better people for it. this is your run of the mill jump scare movie, down the middle of the road, average, decent, worth the $8AUD i paid (special deal) i think you could skip it or watch it if you really want to go to the movies but nothing is on (like i did) great sit and stare movie, don't think too much about it… Expand

"Flatliners" ask interesting questions, then answers them with cheap, albeit sometimes effective, B-grade jump scares.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A decent film that, with a little more effort and thought, could've been so much more. A solid enough sci fi premise, decent effects and unsettling horror sequences are sometimes let down by average acting, annoying sequences and unoriginality. Watchable but fairly average.… Expand

Such a silly plot. I am only giving it 4 because it was watchable to the end, but the idea and the plot was just too dumb - doctors doing such crazy things and then suddenly believing stuffs which doctors would be the last persons to believe.Such a silly plot. I am only giving it 4 because it was watchable to the end, but the idea and the plot was just too dumb - doctors doing such crazy things and then suddenly believing stuffs which doctors would be the last persons to believe. Plus without that the story is a bit dumb and resolves so simply and quickly in the end. Too absurd and all over the place… Expand
