Review of Final Destination 5 (2011) by Crossfire — 19 Aug 2011

I went in thinking, what sights will I see, and picturing myself, saying "oh my God," as I heard this was the most violent and intense. The beginning credit sequence was pretty cool, which promised an intense and visceral premonition sequence.

However, after the premonition was over, I thought, "that was it." The other Final Destination films, especially 2 were a lot better. In terms of the individual deaths, I almost laughed at how fake and preposterous the first one was.

I am not a gymnast, never have been, but if I fell off a balance beam, I would just roll over in pain, not be broken in half. I know the deaths are supposed to be over the top, but this first one was just stupid.

What followed was just many annoying characters dying in fake-looking ways, exactly the other other films (not inventive at all). Then end plane sequence was awesome as well as the collage of deaths from the other films.

Even as a somewhat FD fan, I was not impressed. This was one of the less graphics films in the series.
