Viewing Notes
I’m an unabashed fan of the Final Destination series. I like how they take a bunch of unlikeable teens and systematically off them in these crazy Rube Goldberg scenarios.
The Final Destination I suppose is the last of these and the premise hasn’t changed one bit. A guy forsees his friends dying at a racetrack from a crazy series of events and gets them out of there only to find out that they’re ending up dead anyways.
So basically what I look for in these is great deaths and a decent enough plot to get me from one to another. The Final Destination gave me that, but somehow didn’t feel as solid as the others. I did like that it references the others in the series.
The characters were all completely unlikely which is fine since it just allowed me to wish evil, disgusting deaths on them. I have to stay the standout for me was the dragging death of the racist. The lowpoint was a bit of an overkill of the CGI blood/kills. It’s fine when done right but it wasn’t hitting on all cylinders here.
Still, for a Final Destination it was okay. Not the best of the series but a fun watch.
