The final destination review

The final destination (also know as Final destination 4, or Final destination: Death trip 3D) is a 3D horror film which is the fourth in the final destination franchise. The film has a 15 certificate and is directed by David R Ellis. In the film, a student at a car race has a vision that a the racing cars will crash and send debris into the audience, killing nearly everyone there. He wakes up and realises it about to happen. He gets several out, but they weren't meant to survive.......... so death comes to claim them!

I absolutely loved Final destination 1. I really like the second as well, even though I didn't enjoy it when I saw it at first. The third was amazing as well. But this movie was awful, awful, awful, awful! Seriously, this is a bit pathetic.

I'm hoping Final Destination 5 will be good. Here's what I liked about this movie: (Very little) The opening disaster was brilliant and the finale was intense. That's about it.

The main point of this movie is death chasing these obnoxious characters and killing them in unpleasant ways. The death scenes in the movie are almost entirely recycled from past things, as is the rest of the plot.  Most of these characters   I didn't care for. The actors who populate these characters don't do well either. The acting in FD movies has never been first rate but I was convinced. Devon Sawa, A.J. Cook, Ali Larter, Ryan Merriman, Kris Lemche were all good, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead was excellent. But these guys are terrible. The acting is very limited. Script is bad too.

The death scenes are mostly things we have seen before. The movie's plot is dull, lifeless and has no new ideas at all. It is just working from old ideas. The direction doesn't stand out either. The movie doesn't feel like Final destination.

Verdict: FD4 is a poorly acted, bad written and lifelessly plotted thriller that runs purely on uninspired gore and old ideas.

GRADE: 2
