Since Alex has saved their lives they think that all is well, but soon after the crash the survivors start turning up dead in horrible and bizarre accidents. They soon learn that death is after them all for being cheated out of their lives on the plane crash.
Brought to you by two of the great talents behind the X-Files, Glen Morgan and James Wong, comes the dark story of fate and unbreakable destiny.
I can’t really say what’s good or what’s bad with this movie, but you just kinda follow it all the way through. Although at no point was I blown away, well except for the EXCLLENT bus scene, I was also never bored in the story. The excellent plot and very decent effects were great. Even the cast, full of quasi teen stars like Brendan Fehr, Kerr Smith, Ali Larter and a post American Pie Sean William Scott, did a pretty good job.
Although there is a little gore there is some great harshness in some of the kill scenes, although I have to admit that some of the kill lead-ups were a bit long, they were all pretty good.
A decent flick all the way through and full of some sudden jumps, a couple of good kills, very creepy atmosphere and a decent ending make Final Destination a very good rent and maybe possible purchase if found in the range.
