…science fiction that crosses over into horror now and then for some good old-fashioned jolts of fear, then you’ll like the newly minted Flatliners. This is a decent remake that will appeal to mid/later teens and twenty-somethings. Those who have a nostalgia for the original might also like it. The acting is perhaps not as stellar as the original (how can you top Kiefer Sutherland, Julia Roberts?…though Kiefer does have a minor role in the new one). Ellen Page is pretty great, however, and the special effects add to the startle factor.
The movie does have a moral to it, too, which appeals to most everyone.
