Review of The Final Destination (2009) by Charlene & — 03 Jul 2011
The fourth entry in this series was originally presented in 3D but other than that, is very much business as usual. A group of friends cheat death thanks to a clairvoyant dream, and then fate comes back to even the score one-by-one.
The one glaring inconsistency this go-around is that the characters' eventual deaths do not accurately reflect the original cause of death. The only reason for this could be laziness in the script department.
The inventiveness in the deaths is still there, but it just doesn't play as well as the other three. For one reason or another, this entry lacks the charm of the other films in the series and plays very empty and matter-of-fact.
One can only reason that the allure of 3D distracted the production to the point of getting this sucker finished without ironing out the flaws. There's some hot girls and some good blood but other than that, this one is a disappointment.
