    Storyline

    Edit
    A medical student, Courtney, is obsessed with the idea of the afterlife, wanting to find out what happens after death. She invites fellow students Jamie and Sophia to join her in an experiment, in an unused hospital room: using defibrillation to stop her heart for sixty seconds while recording her brain, and then reviving her. She assures them they would not be held responsible for any accidents. Sophia is against this, but Jamie does it anyway. After sixty seconds, they panic as they are unable to revive her, but eventually manage to with the help of fellow student Ray. Later, Marlo, a rival of Ray, arrives and learns of the experiment..

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The character Jamie says 'today is a good day to die'. In the original, Kevin Bacon says 'hokahay' which is a Native American word which means today is a good day to die.
    • Goofs
      When Courtney went in for flatlines, she mentioned no metal allowed inside the room as the scanner contains magnet but there are laptops, and mobile phones and other medical equipment which can be attracted by a strong magnet.
    • Quotes

      [in the evening before his flatline]

      Jamie: It's a great day to die!

    Lacks Charm of the Original
    I loved the original movie Flatliners. It's nice to see Kiefer Sutherland back in this version but it's in no way a sequel, he's a totally different character (who is not in this movie enough in my opinion) and this is a remake or re-imagining or however you want to label it.

    This movie isn't bad but it's not very good either. It's just coasting off the original like so many remakes do in recent years. The original had an amazing cast and a lot of charm. It wasn't brilliant by any means but it was much more original and easier to buy into than this one.
