The Final Destination (2009)

Did you people see the same film I saw?

As Good As It Gets

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

NOT MY THING... Horror movies with story that's neither engaging nor story telling are just bad to me. It felt forced even cause you have people who have to die horribly for the sake of movies with no reason to in the first place...

Oh boy.This film isn't good. I forgot the characters names after I watched it. Many of the characters are unlikable assholes, the first big accident was weird, the deaths were good - that's about it.The major part of this film that I actually enjoyed, occurred in the last 20 minutes. I won't spoil it (in case you want to watch it yourself), but a major twist happens and it gets super interesting.I'd say watch this film if you want to do a Final Destination marathon, but other than that, don't watch it.

When a premonition from a friend saves a group of spectators from a horrific car crash at a car race, their mysterious deaths afterward have him convinced that a diabolical entity has set about ensuring they're supposed to die and tries to save them before they're all killed.While this one was still quite fun, there's an obvious decline over the others in the series. As is usually the case with the franchise, this one manages to get started really nicely as it's opening crash is pretty cool running through the extremely convoluted set-up required to initiate the chain-of-events in the first place but also managing to get plenty of fun with the opportunity for some really bloody and graphic kills due to the premonition nature of the sequence. As well, the fiery spectacle of it all and all the fun of what happens in the real world all helps to make for a solid opening here that isn't as impactful as the others but still serves as fun overall. Beyond this, the film gets some really enjoyable elements from it's rather convoluted and contrived set-ups that manage to bring about some ingenious attempts at suspense throughout the scenes, from the admittedly silly attack at the guy's house where the rolling truck lights him on fire, the outcome at the salon parlor and the events at the mechanics create a rather fine and chilling set-up here that makes for quite a nice time overall here where this one some suspense to be had from how they're all placed in here. As well, the other great scenes here offer up a ton of thrilling moments from it's bigger set-pieces where this one really scores, starting with the race to free the trapped friend at the car-wash or the different scenarios that play out at the hospital and leading into the mall scenarios where it decides to pack in the action and suspense of what's occurring in both the vision and what happens in real life. The brevity is to be commended as it doesn't overstay its welcome, and there's plenty of fun to be had here with this one. There's a few problems to be had with this one, which starts with the utterly lame and ridiculous sloppiness merely there to set up the death that wouldn't happen that way in real life, a rather problematic factor in the series as a whole. Many of these set-ups are so needlessly contrived and purposefully exaggerated that there's nothing taken from what's supposed to be taken seriously from these scenes, and the amount of work required to make them logical occurrences is borders on the insane. Aside from several personal indiscretions the film, another big problem from it's actual method of conception like the blatant and retarded 3D gags, filled with some of the most woeful and utterly atrocious CGI hurled at the screen which ruins so many of these scenes looking as bad as they do which makes this the biggest problem overall here. This one wasn't that bad and was way better than expected, though it's still somewhat flawed.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Brief Nudity and mild sexual activity.

It's Undeniable that the Formula that made this Franchise so Special at first, that Never Varied from Film to Film, has Lost its Luster and is now rather Boring. The Premonitions and Death's Design and all of that have seen Better Days and is now Nothing More than the Thread that Binds the Movies Together.Its the Rube Goldberg Death Mechanisms that can still Entertain. That's a Difference between "Torture Porn" and this Series. The Final Destination Films are Meant to Entertain as Opposed to say, the "Saw" Franchise. What they're Meant to do is Not Pleasant to Contemplate. Simply Put, the "FD" Series is Fun and the "Saw" Series is Sick.This Movie has a neat Opening and Closing Credits Scheme, and the Movie Clips along with the Least bit of Contemplation about Fate and Death. A bit Better than the Third Entry if one was to Quibble about such Things, this one has some Nifty Set-Ups and is another Fine, Bloody Fluff Film for Fans of the Franchise.Note...If you are keeping score...more nudity, more gore, and more deaths and the first one in 3-D.
