He makes some good points about the failures of our health care system, which is based on treatment rather than prevention.

"Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever" offers an engrossing window into the mania of a unique individual, one with the outlandish resources to do something that no normal person would even be able to dream about attempting. Johnson has built a carefully constructed and maintained house of cards for himself, and this documentary preserves that attempt in time, with all its self-obsessed arrogance and earnest hopefulness intact.

6.5 / 10
Time will tell if Johnson’s "Project Blueprint" protocol will provide insights into how humanity might extend lifespans. What’s not in doubt, however, is that Johnson will continue to drink his own Kool-Aid, and that many others will as well—possibly doing more harm than good to themselves and others.

"Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever" works quite fine as a slice of diverting entertainment.

3 / 10
This too-chummy documentary, promoted on Johnson’s website, offers the more familiar reverse sensation of having 90 minutes of your life taken from you. By the time it’s over, you will be older, a progression that if anything the movie feels like it hastens.

"Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever" goes a long way toward humanizing the Venmo multimillionaire best known for pumping his teenage son’s blood plasma into his own veins.
