Review of The Final Destination (2009) by Drew S — 15 Mar 2011
You know sometimes you stand up after taking a really big shit and you look in the toilet and reflect on what you've done and for a moment you feel some slight satisfaction. Well in reflecting on this film I feel like I've taken that shit stood up looked back and there is nothing in the toilet.
If the goal of this movie is to make you wish you were one of the poor saps killed in the move then it succeeded. Anyone who goes and see's this film in "2D" should be drawn and quarted on the spot.
The whole 3D experience was the only thing that attracted me to this film in the first place. I think I was genuinely surprised or jostled by the 3D effects in this movie twice. Most of the "3D" effects are corny and look computer generated.
The death's were so predictable and outlandish. There is a scene where one of the characters is standing next to a fence that looks like a digital cheese grater. Well guess how he dies? The "wow effect" of the 3D wears off after the opening scene, and Final Destination 3D becomes a steaming turd loaf that you aren't proud in seeing.
