Flatliners (2017 – 15) – what’s it about? A
group of medical students investigate the afterlife by stopping their hearts to
have near death experiences.
This is yet another
remake on the remake craze. I like the original quite a lot; I can’t remember
how many times I must have watched it when I was a teenager, though I haven’t
watched it for years. I wasn’t sure how much I’d like this being re-done. I
have to say though it was quite cool to see it updated with modern technology
and graphics, it still had a good experience to it (even if I find some of the
actors really annoying – and no Kevin Bacon!). Yeah it’s a pretty good remake
as far as remakes go – it’s not the best but its most definitely not the worst
one I’ve seen.

Blade Runner
2049 (15) – what’s it
about? A Blade Runner must unravel a mystery that could change the world
forever.
So hmmm this was
interesting, it was a good movie in the franchise, a good kind of cop mystery, but
it doesn’t have much action so it will depend on what you like. It was though
quite a long movie, I don’t know if my attention span was just in one of those
moods where I was tired but I did find it pretty slow in parts. It’s one of
those where you have to stick with it though as by the end it all starts to
unravel. It’s worth a look if you like the franchise and sci-fi-cop stuff
really.
