Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Scott LeBrun "Final Destination 5" adheres pretty closely to the formula established in the previous four films. Character A, in this case aspiring chef Sam (Nicholas D'Agosto, 'Gotham'), has a horrifying vision of a major catastrophe, and he and assorted others (who died during the vision) are frightened when they escape and witness the catastrophe actually taking place. They spend the rest of the film dying off in spectacular fashion, because as omnipresent coroner Bludworth (Tony "Candyman" Todd) likes to put it, "Death doesn't like to be cheated." They also have to wonder if it's at all possible to avoid what seems to be inevitable.This series still continues to be perversely entertaining in its over the top depictions of ultra-elaborate death set pieces, and the resulting cartoonish gore. It still plays that way at times, but at least writer Eric Heisserer (the "Thing" prequel) and director Steven Quale, the latter making his fictional feature debut, give us enough story and enough character detail to make our intended victims worth watching. They also make sure to give us little moments of foreshadowing that will pay off very soon. The filmmaking is slick, and the wholesale destruction of human bodies consistently offers amusement. One undeniable highlight is a case of laser eye surgery gone horribly wrong.Where this offers some truly interesting wrinkles is when: A) Peter Friedkin (Tom Cruise lookalike Miles Fisher, "J. Edgar") thinks he has a handle on solving his problem, and B) the denouement where events take a very circular turn. It rather reminded this viewer of the way the writers of the "Saw" sequels would go out of their way to tie events & characters together. But this was fairly clever, and appreciated.The cast is personable. D'Agosto and Emma Bell ('The Walking Dead') as his sweetie are likeable, P.J. Byrne ("The Wolf of Wall Street") is a hoot as an uber-sleazy moron, Arlen Escarpeta (the "Friday the 13th" reboot) is engaging, and there are also roles for veterans David Koechner ("Anchorman") and Courtney B. Vance ('Law & Order: Criminal Intent'), the latter playing an appropriately befuddled Federal agent.A reel of highlights from all the previous films precedes the end credits, and one has to feel that this fifth entry does provide a sense of closure...unless, of course, some producer or suit decides to resurrect the series at some point.Seven out of 10.

Davis P Final destination 3 is so much better than this mess! Final destination 5 is poorly written, poorly acted, and just poorly made overall. The special effects are poor and kinda cheap looking. The actors don't really have a lot of good chemistry together. The storyline is the same as the rest, nothing new at all here, expect what you've seen before, just a lot worse. I actually really enjoyed the third installment, as you know, if you read my previous review of it. This one is boring, slow, poorly done, sloppy and just overly gory too. I could not stand this film the whole way through! It disappointed me on every level, especially since I was expecting it to be good, based on some pretty positive reviews it had received. I don't know what rotten tomatoes was smoking when it gave final destination 5 a 61% approval rating, it deserves about a 10-15% at best. This film is not worth your time.

varshinikumavath Final destination was directed by Steven Quale in which Nicholas D'Agosto was casted as lead role Sam Laton.The Visual effects in this movie were splendid, especially in the sequence where the lead character in his precognitive dream manages to see his future in which he along with his friends were killed by collapse of the enormous bridge on which they were traveling.The movie was successful in transporting the audience as participants in the movie.Every single shot was clearly shot with utmost care so that the continuity is maintained.The movie was a taut, sharp and intelligent piece of horror. Indeed the films horror was based on a good use of suspense rather than out-and-out gore.The way in which the deaths were directed were really horrendous.The overall conclusion we can draw by watching the movie was death is not an accident but is planned so that when your time comes, you can absolutely do nothing about it. You can only cheat death temporarily. It'll get you in the end, by any means necessary no matter what plans you have made to avoid it. Morbid to be honest, but entirely true. Overall the moving rating is 3.5/5.

BA_Harrison There are very few long-running horror franchises where I can happily say that I have enjoyed every single chapter, but that is definitely the case with the wonderfully dumb and delightfully gory Final Destination series; admittedly that's probably because each successive sequel has been almost virtually identical in format to the enjoyable original, setting the stage with a spectacular disaster and allowing death to do the rest, but I have enjoyed them nevertheless.Part 5 certainly doesn't stray far from the formula. Barring one new plot device—the kill or be killed rule—and couple of twists that, if you've been paying attention, you may very well guess, this is business as usual: a group of people narrowly avoid being killed but find that their reprieve is only temporary while Death gets its act together. As always, expertly orchestrated and spectacularly gory demises await them all, and this time they're even bloodier than before!If, like me, you have enjoyed the previous instalments in this popular series, then it's almost certain that this one will also satisfy your yearning for inventive deaths and over the top splatter. I only hope that they keep 'em coming 'cos I'm not done yet.
