Review of Final Destination 5 (2011) by Thequietgamer — 23 Nov 2018
Another group of obnoxious and ridiculously attractive 20-somethings learn that you can't cheat death. It adds a new wrinkle to the mix by giving the survivors an option to escape the cycle by killing someone outside of it, but for the most part this is the exact same thing you've likely seen four times already. No real surprises here.
That being said, it is an improvement on its predecessors. The special effects are pretty bad, but the kills themselves are great. Very gory. This is easily the funniest Final Destination and while you're still not likely to actually like these characters they are the most memorable bunch of the franchise.
It's more of the same, but slightly better than all the previous iterations. The ending will be a real treat for longtime fans. It shows signs of there still being gas in the tank should anyone decide to pull the series off the shelf at some point. While still nothing special, 5's increase in quality does have my inner gorehound clamouring for more.
