The Lazarus Project

DramaThriller

Directed by John Glenn

After Ben Garvey foolishly turned back to crime, he thought his life was over when he was sentenced to death by lethal injection. But his death sentence isn't quite what it seems, as Ben regains consciousness near an eerie psychiatric ward, where he's told he's been hired as the groundskeeper. With the state of his soul in question, and the love for his wife and daughter all the more real and powerful, Ben must… From TMDB

    >You could make a movie about George Washington, and cast Ildris Elba in the role, and it still wouldn’t matter. The actor being black only matters if you refuse to recognize that acting is all playing pretend. I have no particular comment or specific interest regarding Harry Potter anymore, but I will add that the actor cast for Snape (Paapa Essiedu) is very strange. I watched him in The Lazarus Project and he just doesn't really seem to have any snape-like tendencies. >Now, you want…

    Agree to disagree. I felt like they kept the quality high and I look forward to Season 3. I just finished a Netflix series you might enjoy. The Lazarus Project. It does get a bit silly at times, but overall it's exciting and interesting. I suggest you skip the blurbs and dive right in without expectations.

    The 2008 horror movie The Lazarus Project. It's a wonderful PG-13 really scary movie. Not what you think, not what you think at all. There were some scenes I had to look away from but that's just me.

    I've started #watching the #TV show #TheLazarusProject, with English SDH #subtitles on, and *boy* are they badly handled. We have agents going all over the world searching for missing scientists, which means questioning people who speak German or Japanese or whatever. These conversations have normal default subtitles. Do the SDH subs go away so one can read the translation subs? No. They plaster "[speaking Japanese]" OVER the regular subs, so they're unreadable. Which means I pause the video,…

    The scary movie The Lazarus Project starring Paul Walker. It had fun worldbuilding. Due to clues seen in the background we learn the little daughter has an appreciation for classic, famous paintings. Didn't affect the plot one bit, just fun character stuff.

    I think Looper was less ambitious and, as I recall, trusted the audience to understand time travel better than the Lazarus Project does. I think it benefited from the shorter format (movie vs 8ep series), which allowed for more consistent world building, theme, and character development. 2/3

    If you enjoyed #Bodies on Netflix, I would recommend you check out #TheLazarusProject. Similar feel. London-based creative take on the time travel genre. I enjoyed S1 a lot and will start S2 soon. (Streams on Sky in the UK/Germany, and on TNT or Spectrum in the US, or avail for purchase on AppleTV/Amazon/GooglePlay/Vudu).

    I was torn about season one of #TheLazarusProject It has an original premise and a great cast, but the plot is too twisty and generally batshit – I'm gathering that many people see that as a feature and not a bug, but I prefer character development over plot. This recap is hilarious, though, and I'll probably watch season two despite my misgivings. https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/lazarus-project-recap-anjli-mohindra-explained-exclusive/ #AnjliMohindra

    It's a poor film, but Paul Walker saves it from coming out much worse. This performance of Walker's is the best I've seen of him away from the 'Fast & Furious' franchise, as everything else around him in 'The Lazarus Project' fails to make an impression his showing is terrific. Bob Gunton, if I had to pick someone, is the pick of the others. The story features an intriguing concept, but I can't say I was ever all that interested in it due to the way the film portrays it; which is a bit too…
