Very few film series get this privilege on my part (Saw and Paranormal Activity are some of the few that come to mind for me). Reviewed by jtindahouse 7 / 10 About standard but a nice way to wrap it up (if they do)įinal Destination, when it was first released in the year 2000, was my favourite film for a number of years, so I've made a point of seeing all of the sequels. Also the final twist is nicely constructed. There is something about being close to the eye that is truly creepy. After the save, the individual kills are nothing new to the franchise.
The set pieces look realistic except maybe for the final kills. The CG looks much better this time around. The opening bridge death dream sequence is great and a vast improvement over the previous racetrack sequence in 4. Coroner William Bludworth (Tony Todd) warns them and gives them a possible solution. Vance) investigates but he doesn't believe Sam's explanation. It turns out to be a dream and Sam is able to save 8 of the group. The bridge collapses and most of them die. The group is going to a business team-building retreat.
Nathan (Arlen Escarpeta) is pushed by union rep Roy and Dennis (David Koechner) is the big boss. Olivia Castle (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is a bitch. His friend boss Peter Friedkin (Miles Fisher) is trying to hide a relationship with intern Candice Hooper (Ellen Wroe). He is wrestling with a job offer in Paris. Sam Lawton (Nicholas D'Agosto) is going to his brother's wedding but his girlfriend Molly Harper (Emma Bell) cancels and breaks up.

Vance and a novel way to attempt to cheat death – is a bore. The dialogue stinks and the storyline – which throws in desultory cop Courtney B. The characters are the worst yet, and a more disappointing bunch of faceless characters I couldn't imagine these are about the blandest you can get for a teenage slasher flick (and this is a slasher film, just with death itself as the villain). However, as the film progresses it seems to lose focus, and ends up run-of-the-mill by the end, although there is a neat last reel twist that ties in with the whole cyclic nature of these films. The deaths are all show-stoppers and highly sadistic, with the best being the elaborate set-up at the acrobatic training.
We're left with a mix of painful deaths and even more painful plotting. It's just a shame that the rest of the film can't equal this kind of brilliance. In fact, it's so good that it beats the vehicular pile-up in FINAL DESTINATION 2 to become the best so far of the entire series. The CGI effects are the best I've seen in a movie and the whole set-piece is directed with expertise and skill. The definite highlight of the entire film is the initial disaster, this time taking place on a suspension bridge. The 3D effects are pretty darn fantastic, they just keep getting better and better, and to be honest I just wouldn't bother with a 2D version of this movie.Īs for the film itself, it's a mixture of the good and bad. Unlike PIRANHA 3D, the entire film was shot in 3D and the effect is very noticeable in crowd and dialogue scenes as well as the money shots. This is another 3D film, so the cinema really is the best place to see it failing that, a home 3D Blu ray set-up will suffice. After all, the simple premise has plenty of mileage in it. To date it's the final one, although it wouldn't surprise me should another come out at some point. Although THE FINAL DESTINATION was marketed as the last in the series, it made cash at the box office so here we are with yet another instalment. The latest - and last - in the 'shock death' horror series.

Everyone thinks that they are safe until the survivors start dying. Only some of his co-workers, along with his boss, leave. When his premonition ends, he tries to make everyone get off the bus. While on a business retreat, Sam has a premonition that he, his co-workers, boss, and several other people will die in a horrific bridge collapse.
