Final Destination 5 (2011) Quick Review


How much longer will they continue the series? As long as we continue to watch it, sadly. Final Destination 5 is, well, the fifth installment in the Final Destination series. What started as a cool, slick thriller, became a money sweltering franchise that serves no sentimental purpose but gruesome deaths and sick pleasures. Final Destination 5 will provide with more sick kills.

Surprise, surprise. Another FD movie...
The movie's plot is the same as usual: A protagonist has a premonition and saves a group of people, only to discover that they all die one by one and that death is after them. So what do they do next? Find a way to cheat death...but wait! I thought there was no way you can cheat death. Wasn't this established with ALL of the films? In Final Destination 5, a young man has a premonition where the bridge collapses and everyone dies. You guys know the drill from there on.

This does not look pleasant at all.
As horrible as the series can get, the fifth installment was an improvement over the fourth film. Final Destination 5 is edgier and more twisty than the average Final Destination film, so this one might actually take you by surprise. This one is more of a prequel if you ask me. Anyway, the death scenes are horrifically satisfying and beyond gross, the acting is cringe-worthy, but the audience demands this kind of "film." Let's face it, the movie sucks, but it's fun to watch. Kudos for its effort to surprise the audience.

Grade: C
