The Final Destination Review


The Final Destination is the fourth installment in the "Final Destination" franchise. For this go-around, the premonition occurs at a race track where the main character sees a huge race car pile up that ends up flying into the grand stands and killing everyone at the track, but it turns out to be just a vision.


From here the storyline continues just as the first three films in this franchise did; main character tells of his vision and convinces a small group of people to leave the area. Then, the vision comes true but they have left the area so they are saved...for now.


In this film, 10 people are saved by the vision. But like the franchises motto "you can't cheat death twice". Basically, death has to "correct" itself since 10 people dodged the deadly event. "Death" is very harsh and disturbing in his methods of correcting their saved lives. 1 of the 10 saved people is "corrected" within seconds after the vision comes true when a tire flies from an exploding car and decapitates her. From here the gruesomene deaths only get worse.


The most gruesome in my opinion was when a character had their insides sucked out by a drain in a pool. Yuck.


This film really didn't give closure to the franchise. This is supposedly the final film and it truly...sucked. The deaths were too gruesome to even be believable and the characters were never unified.
