Remake of the original "Flatliners" film - Very good with cameo by Sutherland - Worth Watching

It's not the worst movie ever made but after a promising start it gets quite dull rather quickly. James Norton and Ellen Page are really good actors but are pretty much wasted in this (Ellen gets the most "drama" but even then it's relatively yawn). The rest of the cast are either flat or in Kiersey Clemmons case, really quite poor.I enjoyed the original because it was dark, tense and scary in parts, unfortunately this one didn't have any of those elements and the story just petered out rather than building up. This one seems to lack any impact at all, it's pretty forgettable.If, like me, you're seeing it for free on a movies package, then it's ok (but even then my attention did start to wander) but I wouldn't bother paying for it and I'm certainly glad I didn't make the trip to the cinema that I had originally planned.If you've not seen the original 1990 film, then give that one a go - it's got a great cast and has a stylish feel, even though it's probably pretty low budget comparative to modern movies.

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?

Could have been a good remake. TERRIBLE ACTING! Except Ellen Page. She was good. The girl playing Sophia was especially horrible. The writing was also really stupid, so I guess the actors didn't have much to work with. This could ha r been an awesome remake but they failed at it.
