Final Destination

Pros: Great plot twists, original idea
Cons: None

I was returning some movies yesterday at my local Blockbuster, and I was lucky enough to be there right after they stocked the shelves with brand new releases. One of the new releases I had wanted to see for a while. I'm talking about Final Destination....

Pros: Quality Kills Equal Fun Time
Cons: Those Who Can't Enjoy Themselves Won't Like It

Take a great idea for a Twilight Zone episode, stretch it to 90 minutes, throw in the requisite gore and you've got Final Destination, a surprisingly fun entry in the genre where teenagers get picked off one by one by a formidable foe.

In this...

Pros: believable acting, solid plot, all around solid movie
Cons: gory, profane, and a bit cheesy at times

Among the many teen flicks released in the past five or so years, Final Destination stands above the rest. With a solid cast, a solid plot, and the absence of any well known and currently popular teen heartthrobs(although an old heartthrob is present),...

Pros: great special effects, story and mood.
Cons: posible traumas revisited, and sleepless night.

Every Friday I leave work at 12:00 and usually my husband and his best friend come to pick me up so we can watch a movie. Two weeks ago we went to watch Final Destination.
I personally have a horrible phobia when it comes to airplanes and flying, so...

Pros: great movie
Cons: ticket price

This is a great movie. There is great action. Alot of people that watch this move might or might not get confused about the movie. The movie is about about a kid going on a class trip to france on plane dreams how the plane crashed. When he gets waked...

Pros: good movie, makes you think
Cons: end is a little hard to follow

I must admit I do not normally like movies like this. So when we went to see it I was sure I was going to hate it, but I was very wrong. It is actually a great movie that makes you think.

In the first part of the movie the senior class is...

Pros: Original premise, nice production, good DVD extras
Cons: It could have been better, a missed opportunity to make a great film.

First, a confession. This is my kind of a movie. I always tell people that I want to laugh or be scared out of my wits when I see a movie. While "serious" or touching movies have their place, I simply am less entertained with that genre....

Pros: Actually very scary and suspenseful with good charactor development and tone
Cons: My favorite character gets his head chopped off. :(

The teen horror slasher genre has become very popular over the past few years, beginning with Scream in 1996. After Scream we have seen several Scream spin offs such as: Screams 2 and 3, I Know and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, Urban Legend, and...

Pros: I had a free coupon
Cons: Teen slasher wanna be Sixth Sense type film.

Could this be the beginning of the Teen Slasher trend? When I walked into the video store to pick up a good Saturday night flick I originally walked in thinking chick flick. I picked up the movie I wanted and was bombarded at the counter by clerk and...

Pros: Keeps you on edge!
Cons: None, really

Final Destination was everything I expected, and then some. This movie was packed full of action. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, never knowing what to expect. Even when you thought you knew...you didn't. The basic plot line is: A French...

Pros: creepy, cinematography, intense
Cons: some dialogue, vaguely predictable

Okay, so I was sitting around Friday night and REALLY wanted to see a movie, because I hadn't gone in a while, and there are some decent titles playing. So... how did I decide what to see between Final Destination and The Ninth Gate? Obviously, I...

Pros: Very cool idea for a film, original, a few spooky moments
Cons: MTV generation cast nearly sinks it

"Final Destination" is a neat idea for a movie.

A young man, preparing for a high school class trip with his friends, has premonitions that the plane they are about to embark in will crash and burn immediately after it leaves...

Pros: a thriller, suspense movie that actually was suspenseful. The acting was all surprisingly good.
Cons: After watching this movie, you are freaked out for a long time!

As I scanned the shelf at my local video store for something different to watch, I came across Final Destination. I had never even heard of it but some of the actors looked familiar and I was up for a change so I grabbed it.

This random pick...

Pros: suspenseful, unpredictable
Cons: some unrealistic aspects

Despite all the reviews I have previously read, I actually enjoyed Final Destination along with everyone else I talked to about it. It is a tale that will have you on the edge of your seat in suspense. Just when you think one thing will happen, the...

Pros: Great acting, edge-of-your-seat action.
Cons: Low on vary of movie elements.

Ahh it's springtime and horrible cliche, death movies are in the air. But whats's this? Something a little new, a little exciting, a little... dangerous? What is it? It's Final Destination. This movie is a breakthrough in scary movie history, not quite...
