THE REVIEW:
YIKES! Final Destination is back with fifth installment in the films franchise and they have gone with having it shot in 3D (lets hope it shows). I've only liked one or two of the previous films made so i was hoping to enjoy this one. i'm expecting to see some pretty crazy & bloody death scenes.


After watching this film i have to say i did enjoy myself even though i was grossed out by the way people were dieing. It starts off a with an almight BANG! and just keeps getting better as far as shocking the audience was concerned.The story goes on and gradually builds great suspense. 


Director Quale moves the camera around showing whats wrong with some of the places/areas the character are in. That's how attention spans are captured because you knew something is going to happen but you just didnt know what or how. The deaths are timed to perfection. If you ever want to learn how to go for a kill in some timely fashion then this is the film you want to watch. I was actually gobsmacked on how these people were dieing, a couple times i had my hand over my mouth. Believe me when i say the Gore setting is on wreckless mode. 


 The 3D is awesome in this film, the bodies cutting in half, bones out of skin and CGI blood everywhere. It looked pretty real to me. This is one them films you don't expect the effects to be good but my oh my it is something to marvel at. This film shows how to use 3D and make it terrifying. #Impressive. As much as each killing is very entertaining to watch, i didnt feel connected to characters as i would like to, they looked like a set from a random american television programme. This is just one of them films where you lose a little interest in the characters and just look forward to all the effects, settings & stunts used.

OVERALL: Gruesome & Entertaining.
STAR RATINGS OUT OF 5:  4

  1. Feel the story could have been stronger, also the deaths should have been believable... not saying they couldn't be gruesome or out there. But possible might have been nice... for instance, buddha must have weighed a ton.
