Review of Final Destination (2000) by Voodoo123 — 12 Oct 2019
My 17 year old self would easily have given this movie an 8/10 but in my thirties now?? Final destination is dumb but fun.... The oh so 90's lingo and general attitude of these (clearly in their twenties) actors playing 'teenage students' is a grind to watch.
... The opening 20 mins still serves to impress as a work of cinematic art beautifully marrying the tension of its story with the gratuitous and expertly produced crash sequence. Sadly the 'fate finishing them off' concept drags on too long and instead of implying the danger takes an oddly detailed silly practical effects heavy territory with each death more ludicrous than the last (how is it the victims fail to notice the sentient liquid/air attacking!).
Nonetheless it houses a great concept (even if the film has aged poorly). If you can switch off and tune in to the 90's horror grunge vibes though, this is sure to entertain you.
