Review:
I have always liked this installment since the first movie. Final Destination 1 was the new concept of thriller at that time. I really liked it and I found it really interesting. I enjoy how the concept and the story went along so well. It’s really thrilled. Now, here we welcome the fifth installment of Final Destination. For me, it’s the worst version ever. It doesn’t show anything new. Everything is the same with different actors/actresses.
The story tells us about a group of survival from a great accident on a bridge. The bridge collapsed and they should die at the accident. But they manage to survive the accident because one of them can see a vision before that accident happens. Then, the survivals face the sudden death one by one. They are curious about what is exactly happening. Finally, they know the story behind the vision that they can’t cheat death. They have to die one by one no matter what in their order when the accident happened.
The story and the concept have nothing new in it. It’s just like seeing a same Final Destination with brand new stars in same setting, even worse. They face their sudden death one by one and we have already seen that kind of version in four installments of this movie. What makes it worse is their way of dying are ridiculous. It’s the worst of all. It’s not that thrilled if it compared to the last four. I think they try to make it looks a little funny but they failed. For me, it’s just silly and lame all over the part. This is the first time I find this movie is boring and I don’t like it. What’s the best of this worst installment is the twist at the end of the movie. I found it that that scene is the only interesting scene to watch.
Let’s talk about the stars. As usual, Final Destination franchise always uses new couple of actors and actresses. And in this installment, the stars are lame and boring. They can’t act in a good way to build their character. Nicholas D’ Agosto, Emma Bell, Miles Fisher which are the main acts can’t play well. They act like they are not in a thriller movie, they act like they are stars of teenage drama with a bit horror in it. The other supporting actors and actresses are even worse than them. There is nothing more I can say about it.
The director, Steven Quale is new at Final Destination installment and for me, he failed to bring up the movie, he made it looks worse among the other. He should bring up something different than the other installment to build up this movie back to the line.
The effects maybe better than the first one or the second one but still it doesn’t give much in this movie because of the ridiculous script and way of death. The collapsed bridge shows the greatest effect of this movie. That is the only scene you will see the greatness of the effect and I bet you will enjoy it if you like to see a great effect made by the visual team.
Overall, I should enjoy this movie but I don’t. This is the worst installment of all. It’s ridiculous all over the place. I think they shouldn’t make more installments for Final Destination. They have lost their idea to build up this movie and it actually ruins the epic of Final Destination. For you all who are a thriller lover, especially Final Destination lover, you should watch it even it’s the worst for me. Just enjoy it and don’t take it seriously, I bet you will enjoy it a bit, maybe. :D
