Review of The Final Destination (2009) by Matt G — 30 Dec 2011

When Nick has a vision of a speedway crash, he stops a group of people from dying. But they soon discover that Death doesn't give up that easily.

The fourth entry in the movie franchise and there is really no difference from the rest. The storyline still follows the exact same formula, and the characters are still generic and forgettable. What this series is all about are the complex and outrageous death scenes - and 'The Final Destination' does the job just as good as it's predecessors. But, the series is looking a bit tired, and the movie really loses momentum as it goes along, and the ending is a complete let-down. There are some subtle nods to the previous movies that only a fan would notice (as did my wife), but the movie breaks THE one golden rule - no Tony Todd!!!!!!! All in all, it is an ok movie that makes you giggle with morbid glee in places, but don't expect a groundbreaking entry in the franchise.
