It’s another Final Destination movie. This is one of Hollywood’s old standbys that’s ridden a pretty original idea into the ground–well not all the way into the ground. It still manages to be fun as long as you manage your expectations.
Final Destination 5 adalah lakonan C gred actors; Emma Bell, Nicholas D’Agosto, Miles Fisher and Arlen Escarpeta. The Final Destination formula is the same. Right before a major disaster — think plane crash, roller coaster, huge traffic accident — the protagonist has a vivid premonition of things to come. Right after he or she sees their own death they snap back to a point right before the disaster and warn their friends to get off of, or out of whatever, or wherever the disaster is about to strike.
When on his way with his coworkers to a company retreat, Sam Lawton (Nicholas D’Agosto) has a premonition that they bridge they are traveling across is going to collapse and kill them all. When he snaps back to, he realize what he just saw/dreamed, is starting to happen. Sam grabs his ex-girlfriend Molly (Emma Bell) and runs off the bus. Friends Peter (Miles Fisher), Candice (Ellen Wroe), Olivia (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), Issac (P.J. Byrne), Nathan (Arlen Escarpeta) and boss Dennis (David Koechner) all follow and thus escape a horrible demise; cheating Death. Days after that one by one, the remaining coworkers die in mysterious accidents in the order Sam saw in his vision. Can they stay alive and really cheat death or will they all die?
This was extremely gory and violent. One of the more horrifying aspects of sitting through this film was not what is shown on screen but the fact that people were cheering at the violence and bloody deaths of the characters. Does anyone see anything else wrong in that or is it just me?
The visuals and effects work up the horror of the manner of dying and the film does manage to tease the viewers with multiple permutations and combinations to its death.The scene of the death of the gymnasts illustrates this best. A small loose screw from an AC duct above lies in wait for its victim, so does a loose performing rod nearby while a little gush of water is making its way to an open electrical wire.The audience, aware that death is inevitable, is at the edge of their seats wondering what will cause it. The way it finally happens is scientifically impossible, but macabre nonetheless.
The film ends on the plane where the first one had begun. And going by the looks of it, this particular film may have ended, but this - one of the most successful horror franchises from Hollywood - is far from its final destination.
I comment this movie (4) ★★★★only.
