Pros: Really good suspense
Cons: Awful dialogue; rather gory
I’m always very very scared by scary movies, so we spayed this one by starting on the last frame and watching it on rewind. And I’m glad we did, because that’s the only way I could have handled this movie. Good lord, it’s scary. Whoo....

Pros: Genuinely creepy horror film about inescapable death
Cons: Dialogue is stilted and characters are nothing more than horror archetypes
The first scene in Final Destination is filled with bad vibes. Alex is inexplicably scared about getting on the airplane for the class trip to Paris. He reads everything as an omen of misfortune. The rust on the plane door, the lightning in the...

Pros: movie is set-up well, fun race against death
Cons: weak love-story sub-plot, ?unnatural? feel to stage settings
I first saw this movie during its initial theatrical release this summer. I had no idea what the film was about and found it to be a pleasant surprise.
In this movie, “death” does not come dressed in a black, hooded robe with sickle in hand....

Pros: Nice special effects with plane crash, Interesting premise
Cons: Predictable, formula movie, mediocre acting, poor script, too many John Denver songs
When I saw the trailer for Final Destination, it looked interesting with its premise that the grim reaper may stalk you if you somehow escape a pre-ordained catastrophe. Within minutes though, I began to suspect that the film was not going to...

Pros: Great actors and cinematography
Cons: May be too graphic a plot for some people
What was the question again? Imagine living with a frightening and eerie ability to see death approaching? That's that Alex (Devon Sawa,Idle Hands) has to deal with in this psychological, suspense, thriller.
As this movie opens up,...

Pros: It will scare you silly, guaranteed
Cons: n/a
This film first came out when I was pregnant, and even though I really wanted to go and see it, I was terrified of doing so in case I got that scared I went into labour (this, in hindsight, probably wouldn't have been too bad really since I was 9 days...

Pros: some good surprises
Cons: a bit too many explosions
In ages past, many a writer has attempted to give Death a personality, to make It an intelligent being with a plan for each of us that we cannot escape. Some authors have had success with this concept, making it almost seem a reality. However, throw in...

Pros: Original story line
Cons: Upset by story line
I haven't written a review in awhile, but have decided it was time after seeing this movie. Final Destination, was a thriller starring Devon Sawa, and Kristen Cloke. It is about a young man who is bound to paris with his classmates on a school field...

Pros: Brilliant writing, it was actually scary
Cons: Some parts were slightly comical
Final Destination was, without a doubt, the best movie I have seen in my entire life. I was glued to my seat from beginning to end. Final Destination is a well-written, captivating story about cheating death, and paying the price for it.

Pros: Twisted plot!
Cons: none really
Our family has a tendency to rent multiple movies at one time and then veg out for a movie-fest night.
Final Destination was my husband's choice to begin with, but I am ever so glad I took his advice and brought it home from BlockBuster!

Pros: Great first 20 minutes. Young cast does well
Cons: Story gets lame after said 20 minutes. Really poor and laboured reasoning/explanations of the phenomena
The second third of my Movie Marathon on Easter Sunday was this movie, Final Destination. I had not heard too much about the film, but the way the gaggle of teenage girls seated in the row behind us, who had babbled constantly through the previous...

Pros: Great use of anticipation. Great special effects.
Cons: 2nd rate dialogue
Have you ever rented a movie, without really looking at the back of it, never heard anything about it, but ended up being a brilliant flick? Well, this just happened to me when I watched this over the weekend.
I do realize though, when you...

Pros: Brilliant idea, and the execution will - at times - have you screaming for more.
Cons: Bad ending, and the cracks really do shine through.
In an era where post-modernism and self-referential 'nudge-nudge-wink-wink' asides are pretty much the done thing, a film along the lines of "Final Destination" was all but inevitable. In "Scream" we had horror movies. In...

Pros: Decent acting
Cons: Predictable, Had Great Potential
I think I'd rather have died on the plane crash! This movie goes to such extremes that half-way through, it just started to become way too predictable. If "I" can figure out what's going to happen, then the plot can't be too original! Even...

Pros: good plot, lots of suspense, keeps you on the edge of your seat
Cons: death scenes were really intense and detailed
It is inevitable for man to die...it's just a question of when; and if you think you can escape Death's claws, you're wrong. Dead wrong. This is the moral of Final Destination.
Your senior year in high school is normally a time...
