Final Destination 5

Come on now, five movies from the same series, all of which have thesame exact storyline. This is what I call cheap storytelling. I do notunderstand what people see in these movies. I have seen all of them,and I am not one of those fans. The deaths are way over the top, inwhich I think is why people like it. Come on now, people being hit byneedles and stuff that is very rare. I just can not understand why theywould make more of this stuff. This series has to end. I would onlythink that I will enjoy it if they tell a well told back story ofBludworth or whatever his name is. If you wanna see this movie, goahead, I ain't stopping you. But I warned you.

Back to it's roots of being somewhat intriguing

The first two Final Destination movies was pretty good for it's time,but started to fall apart with it's 3rd and 4th sequels. The last twobefore this one weren't super terrible movies but was far from beinggood either. Like it was easy cash in without much effort being putinto it just relying on the franchise. This one is somewhat of a rehashof the previous movie but it seemed to have gotten more effort put intoit. The CGI in this movie is actually really well done and believable.If you seen the previous movies in this franchise the first few scenesare really predictable and doesn't hold much tension because you willknow what is going to happen. But as it progresses it gets somewhatintriguing and has some tension going for it. Tony Todd as WilliamBludworth makes a appearance as the mysterious man that knows exactlywhat is going on. The acting in this one is awful and you just can'ttake it seriously sometimes, but the death scenes I guess makes up forit. Seeing how there is more tension in this one. This one is a worthyinstallment to this franchise, just wonder how it's going to keep upthe pace for the next installment. Cause this one was a bit of arehash.6/10

If you watched one you have watched them all is my opinion!

Sequels …… Prequels…… FINAL DESTINATION 5. I did have a moment myselfwhen I did foresee into my future and realized that this franchise isgoing no way other than down! I am not half as smart as NicholasD'Agosto. If I were, I would for sure have saved myself the agony anddirectly skipped onto watch a less painful horror flick. This IS theissue with franchises and genre specific productions. Final Destinationhas always been about some kid having a vision and saving a few friendsjust in the nick of time only to find out that eventually they all willdie; since death does not like being cheated. Being the 5th movie inthe franchise it's still the same old approach and the same old ending.The Directors changed, the writers changed and the plot still remainsthe same! YES I AM CLEARLY VERY ANGRY! NOTE TO PRODUCTION HOUSES: 3DDOES NOT MAKE A CRAPPY MOVIE LOOK ANY BETTER. VIEWERS ARE SMART ENOUGHTO KNOW THAT IT'S JUST A SCANDOULOUS MARKETING TOOL! Only If I couldpull my hair out right now! This is one of the very reasons I have ashaved head! #Breathe# There are always 2 sides to any story. This issomething I have forced myself to believe in since I took into movies.Our perceptions are clearly subjective and one man's trash can beanother man treasure! Some of us sit down for movies like FINALDESTINATION and SAW quite frankly to watch the bloodshed and thegruesome and creative methods of how to kill a human. Since the killerin the entire franchise is never a person and it's an intangible forcemaybe it's only saving grace. I need to give credit that none of thedeaths were a parody of its predecessors. Each is unique in itsexecution and each bloodier than the other. THIS IS AWESOME! (Yes thebloody images are quite entertaining- not for the faint hearted) Nowhere I have taken a rip at the production plus I seem to have somehowcrafted in the word awesome as well. Clearly I need to make my mind up.Only one last area to explore and that is the cast. Since the teenhorror flicks took to screens back in the late 90s there has beenalways a mixture of talent. Some of the cast would be veterans and somewould be quite new and some would be in their first production. FD5 hasno fresher's in her line-up, everyone has been mildly exposed toHollywood and do have a better understanding than I do of what they areexpected to deliver. I am guessing maybe they FORGOT all that when theygot on SET! Tony Todd who appears in all 5 movies himself seems quiteuninterested in acting. Maybe he was just too tired of the plot andjust too tired of delivering the almost identical lines! Don't say Ididn't warn you! If you have been a close hardcore fan of the franchiseyou may enjoy the bloodshed and the numerous ways death devours itsprey. Nothing else other than that would fascinate you nor thrill you!If you watched one you have watched them all is my opinion! Title:Final Destination 5 Directed by: Steven Quale Starring: NicholasD'Agasto, Emma Bell, Miles Fisher, Jaqueline Wood, Ellen Wroe,P.J.Byrne, Arlen Escarpeta, David Koechner and Tony Todd Rated: R forstrong violent/gruesome accidents and some language. Rating: 03/10 92Minutes

FD5: Can be considered the best of the series

Now, this is one movie I didn't repent watching in 3D. This has to bethe best of the series, the only thing which pulls it down is itsfollowing of the standard formula - hence, kinda predictable. Else itscores.To the positives, they reserved the best choreographed opening disasterfor this one. And Coming from the fourth FD (which was plain & thedeath scenes coerced), this has some of the most "jaw-dropping" deathsequences, as this might be probably the last one in the series - endsa full circle.Don't miss the premonition neither the final scene. The 3D is reallyworth here.

elio92 (2012-05-22 01:42)

"Final Destination 5" the best of the series.

After the quarter's Final Destination was disappointed to almost allfans of the series (not myself), Steven Quale and Eric Hersereir joinhands to work for lifting the franchise, and the they succeeded. StevenQuale plays with that address to reach the end with the series, drivinga very good hold and a revision coming to the limit of surprising uswith something new. New? It has new things, already the protagonists donot die like in the previous installments, in accidents rare andbloody, that at the same time the death was responsible for one forone, now someone will have to kill any person to skip the death of aperson to another. Their deaths are the original and well done, and arenot as fanciful as in other deliveries (Less the 1), with an origin in3D, a bridge explosion accident collapsed will be transiting in moriranof the brutal way. Emma Bell and Nicholas D' August make a good duo intheir interpretations transporting something hidden at the Viewer. Witha final hidden it is the most glorious saga.

Spectacular 3D Horrorshow: Nobody here gets out alive

I'm still picking glass splinters out of my eyes. This latest juicyconfection goes down like cotton candy or, if you're over 21, oysterson the half shell. A great combination of pure agonizing terror andhysterical action, run to the theater. There is not one single dullmoment in this entire film. The set-ups are spectacular and the camerawork phenomenal. Bring an umbrella to protect yourself from the bloodshed. Sheer blissful mindless entertainment, free from the really scarystuff in life like Washington DC and the evils that live there. No, youwon't see any Oscar material, but the actors are believably scaredwithout being too over the top. The bridge scene is totally awesome,one of the best things on the screen this year. You couldn't ask formore from a film except a pitcher full of Bloody Mary's served by askeleton at each seat.

Cool series

(Only 9, as even though I love the series, the last two were so intenseI couldn't enjoy the full experience in the cinema and had to watch the4th and 5th movies half and almost full respectively in blurred normalvision. Also, because I don't know the sites' meaning of a spoiler, I'mgoing to say yes because anything I say could be indicative of one.)OK, so on with the review. The actual series from beginning to thus faris a brilliant concept that makes the viewer think carefully. The firstthree movies are quite "tame" compared to the next two, and at timesthey only hint on what is to come and what is happening, and the viewerdoes not get to see the full impact of the experience. Also the peopleinvolved now are more adults than school/college kids, so I believe thepeople making the movie series feel they can do more, making thesituations more intense and... well... gory. The 3D effect just makesit a little too real for my liking. I do like the montage of the deathsin the end credits, that was cool. I think the 5th movie has a bit of aparadox included in the "kill someone to steal their time left" idea. Agood concept, but a couple of things: 1: This is a prequel to the firstmovie, so wouldn't that concept carry over and actually be introducedin the first movie? and 2: If you kill someone to take the time theyhave left, then wouldn't you die instantly and simultaneously? You areending their life there and then, so their existence in the physicalworld ends, thus making any "time left" null and void. The very instantthey die, you die. If it was the other way around, i.e. taking the timethey "have" lived, then yes, that will work in the scheme of things,thus adding the time on to your current age. The other way doesn'twork.Anyway, brilliant series and am looking forward to the nextinstallments. Perhaps the next one could be at an ice-skating rink?Think of the possibilities...

Needless to say, fans of the series won't be disappointed; impressive 3-D too

Whenever a movie franchise, especially horror, has reached the midwaypoint, and you get the same thing in each new movie, it's clear logicis not an issue. These movies (Final Destination series) are madebecause the previous ones made a lot of money and horror fans like tosee people die. So, since this is nothing more than a sequel, thereisn't any point in 'reviewing' it. The only part of FD 5 that's new isthe sequence in the kitchen where one of our victims tries to keep hislife by attempting to kill our hero. Of course, the movies begin with amajor disaster, and then smaller ones occur to kill off the rest of theinnocent victims one by one. And, depending on the circumstances, maybeanother major disaster, like part 5 for instance. If the ending looksfamiliar, well that's presumably because events of the first movie arebeing recreated. Or is it just a coincidence? I doubt it. There areflashbacks going back to part 1, but don't be fooled. There are 2 moremovies being planned.*** out of ****

did post before?

did any of you find it kind of annoying cheesy a lot of the acting was?especially between the boyfriend and girlfriend part. the gore in itwas pretty well done, and everything looked real. but i just thoughtthe acting was a little off. and i hate when they use 30 year old toplay high school students or early college. a lot of them looked a lotolder then what they were played out to be. the acting is what got methe most annoyed, is how bad they were at it. just showing emotion itseemed so fake, and how he came to her house in the rain with anumbrella and shes like "hold on" as shes 2 feet away from the door.haha i don't know guess its just me venting. it was a pretty cool moviethough i suppose.

lorenzoocon (2012-05-19 12:27)

The best Final Destination sequel! May contain spoilers.

In one word, this movie was Awesome! Easily the best FD IMO. Well worththe $10 I spent.Characters: The most likable and well developed group of characters ofthe franchise. Even more so then the first two. For the first time inFD history, I actually liked ALL of the characters. I didn't hate orfind any of them annoying. This time they actually seemed to react moreand care about the people dying around them. Yes, I even liked Fisher'scharacter. Even though his character snapped and tried to killeveryone, part of me couldn't help but feel sorry for him, I mean hedid lose his girlfriend and that definitely had to have messed him upmentally. He also managed to be one of the more deeper and more wellfleshed out characters of the movie, if not the whole franchise, whichis quite sad actually. I mean, this is the fifth entry and just now,they care about developing the characters? The only character I didhate was Nathan's coworker.This time they actually slowed down and had more talking scenes betweenthe characters, really taking the time to let you know what kind ofpeople they were before they died, which in a way, made it feel quitediffern't from the last entries. I especially loved Byrne andKoechner's characters. They did a great job providing comic reliefwithout turning the movie into a farce, something that often happenswhen comedic characters are put into these movies.Movie's feel: The movie has a much more darker and serious tone,compared to the last two movies. A great balance of both humor and darksuspense.Acting: Some of the best acting of the franchise. Kudos to Miles Fisherin particular Deaths: While the deaths here aren't the best, therestill are a couple of good kills here. Ellen Wroe's was my favorite.The buildup to her death was intense and just amazing.Special effects: Honestly, some of the effects looked a little CG, butnothing to bad or distracting. A HUGE improvement over the last movieat least.Preminition scene: Awesome! The best opening disaster since FD 2. Someof the best special effects I've ever seen.Ending: Very great and clever ending. A great way to tie into the firstmovie. Also had some great special effects as well.So all in all, Great movie! Probably the best FD movie IMO. Fans willlove it and I highly recommend it.9/10

Death has never been closer.

Death is just as omnipresent as ever and is unleashed after one man'spremonition saves a group of coworkers from a terrifying suspensionbridge collapse. But this group of unsuspecting souls was neversupposed to survive, and, in a terrifying race against time, theill-fated group frantically tries to discover a way to escape Death'ssinister agenda. - - (C) Warner Bros If you're going in to see FD5, it's because you know what you'reexpecting. Although I'm a fan of the series, I'll admit it did show itsstaleness after FD2, which is arguably the series' high point. Asexpected, the formula hasn't changed, although there are a few newtweaks here, the main one including the addition that the survivors cannow kill someone to take their life and maybe, just maybe, escapeDeath's clutches. It's interesting to note that this new twist is theopposite of what was offered in FD2, in which new life can defeatDeath, but taking life is much more readily apparent and dramatic thancreating new life. Not only do they have to worry about Death, but theyalso have to worry about what they are willing to do to survive, whichprovides some very tense external conflict between the characters. As you guys might have figured out from the above, yes, FD5 has a plotthis time around. There's also an unexpected ending that you will makeyou go OMG or WTF, if it isn't already spoiled to you, of course. It'salso good to know that Eric Heisserer's tight script devotes some timeto the survivors that are getting picked off. You start to feel forthem as they are about to die. As much as I'm thankful for this, it'sobvious that people still see these films for the opening disaster anddeath sequences, and they do not disappoint. Without spoiling anything,the opening bridge disaster is a nasty piece of work, utilizing the 3Dto the fullest extent. I'm a huge horror fan, but even I found it veryhard to watch, jerking my hands back as each character is killed off ingrisly ways. Without a doubt, it's the best opening disaster since FD2. And the death scenes. Wow. They are disturbing, funny, and shocking andsometimes all at the same time. This is because newcomer directorSteven Quale plays with the audience's expectations. He lays out somany things that can kill off a character in a certain scene and whenyou think this sharp object will impale them, they die in a completelydifferent way. The build up is what makes these films fun to watch(apart from the last one). I also liked the fact that this filmreturned to the original film's serious roots, which isn't to say thatit takes itself too seriously because there's an underlying sense ofdark humor that's strangely entertaining and self-aware of itself. The ensemble cast is a mixed bag for sure. Our protagonist, NicholasD'Agosto, doesn't really live up to his character's dramatic arc. Heseems to overact his lines although he was much better in the secondhalf. Emma Bell is a bit better although she wasn't as good as she wasin FROZEN. Miles Fisher also doesn't live up to his character'sinternal struggle when giving off a whiny performance. However, theother supporting castmembers are quite good, including Ellen Wroe,Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, and Arlen Escarpeta. P.J. Byrne, inparticular, is someone you should look out for, providing some of thefilm's biggest laughs, playing a character you just love to hate. DavidKoechner also provides some great laughs. I was disappointed withCourtney B. Vance though because he had little to do. Tony Todd is backsince he was last seen in FD2 and he's like the American version ofSnape (from Harry Potter). I love the way he delivers his lines withone...word...at...a...time. Visually, the film has some above average production values. As saidbefore, the bridge sequence is like something from a $100 millionbudgeted action flick. The 3D is the best that has been offered so farthis year, which comes to no surprise seeing that Quale has worked withJames Cameron on AVATAR. Even from the film's ingenious and originalopening credits, we have shards of glass, knives, bodies, and bloodflying at us in amazing sharpness. Yet the 3D gimmick can only go sofar, and Quale knows that so he doesn't overdo it by providing us withscenes of depth. Honestly, it's the best of both worlds. The soundtrackby Brian Tyler is great as well and is definitely different from theprevious entries. All in all, FD5 brings unexpected new life to the dying franchise. Theplot is handled well and most of the performances are good. Ifanything, this sequel proves that with new blood working behind thescenes can come a refreshing film. If you want to see the film, by allmeans see it in 3D because it is worth every penny. FD5 is shocking,entertaining, suspenseful, funny, disturbing, and is probably as goodas FD2. It seems to be a good year for 5's (FAST FIVE included).

The most important element is back: Fear.

Wow, this film was such a blast. It's definitely the best one yet,bringing back the fear and dread of the first, a speckle of humour hereand there, some new twists and turns to keep it exciting and ultimatelysome pretty gruesome and bloody deaths.This franchise is certainly on its last legs and in my opinion shouldhave finished at the second. But this was so much fun, I had such agreat time. Basically, 1, 2 and 5 fit together as a perfect trilogy inmy opinion, and the ending will have you screaming for them to leave itin peace and let 'death' take it. It's a perfect ending to a gruesomefranchise which as excited millions.My advice? See this film, cringe at the deaths, laugh at the reactionsof your friends and ultimately have a blast. It's all you can do with afilm as fun as this one, thats as fresh as the first but darker andmore exciting than the last.7 out of 10.

Kill or be Killed.......

So it continues with part five. If you don't know the plot by now, thenyou shouldn't be on this page.Guy has a premonition of an accident, warns people to get off the bus,the survivors start dying in freak accidents, Candyman appears to bestalking them at first, then gives them advice, in a very camp way.Candles blow, the film makers show us things unscrewing or waterfalling on electric, and then splat, some cool money shot deaths.And there is always a twist at the end. But for some reason, the filmmakers have decided that if the victims kill someone, they get their'years'. Why didn't Todd inform the people on flight 180 of this? It'sa great move that they decided to do a prequel and not let the viewerknow until five minutes before the end. There are hints, trips toParis, old mobile phones, but if you don't read spoilers (like i did)then these ae very hard to spot.The opening disaster is one of the best in the series, and is on a parwith part two. it's quite a traumatic opening sequence, letting youknow it's going to be a lot darker than the previous efforts.After the gymnast scene, which is the standout death, things start togo downhill, and come the final act, apart from the major twist, itbecomes very absurd and way off track from the other films.The cast are just there to look at, and they are second rate eye candy,apart from a couple of actors, the calibre of acting is bad.Todd puts some effort into his role, but then he is candyman, and knowshe will live and just walks around with a swagger and a knowing nod.3D is surprisingly good, and used sparingly, but is very effective comemore of the gorier scenes.All in all it's not a bad film, better than the fourth, but thefranchise is running out of steam very fast.Given the matter of the final scenes, it seems it would be a good timefor the reaper to hang up his scythe now, as another instalment wouldbe suicide.Then again, if one of the victims committed suicide, what would happento the rest of the survivors? How would death take to the changing ofthe pattern?If that gets made, i want my cut New Line......

Final Destination 5

This was a very interesting movie. The plot segmentation follows theother final destinations. A guy sees a premonition and warns everyoneand those people that are spared death gets them one by one, in theorder of the premonition. The actors did a nice job with sound he audioportion of this film. They tied their actions right into the film. Thesequence of final destination five tied into final destination one. Thespecial effects in the movie were amazing. if someone was killed it wasas if you were there and were the one who committed the crime of murdernot Death itself doing his job. The only thing that will never changein any of these final destination movies is that death can't becheated. In all of them death is never cheated. Watching the otherfinal destination films this is inevitable and a new plot segmentshould be created to throw the viewers off from predicting the obviousfrom happening. All five of the movies consists of people trying tocheat death and can't. The ending of this movie was excellent, it showshow the whole final destination series sparks from the beginning. Thedirector was creative in that aspect.

Paul Haakonsen (2012-05-13 23:21)

Quite good actually...

I was surprised to see a part 5 of this movie franchise, but it was awelcomed one though. And it was with some anticipation that I sat downto watch it.Initially, the story here in part 5 is the same as in the previous fourmovies. Despite liking all movies, seen with a reviewer's eyes, thestory has been abused a tad too many times now. I mean, seriously, itis just the same story over and over in all 5 movies. But what makes itworthwhile and worth watching is the inventive and cruel ways thatpeople meet their demise at. At least that is it for me, it is whatdrives me to keep watching these movies. I want to see what ways peopledie, and I want to see the effects.If you are a fan of the series, you definitely want to check out part 5as well, as it is every bit as entertaining as the previous four, andthe ways people die in this movie was cool - as in the previous moviesas well. And the effects were quite nice, and it had just enough goreto keep most gorehounds well-fed as well.Despite enjoying the movie and the deaths, five movies cooked on thesame broth is just getting too thin. You know the story already beforeyou sit down to watch the movie, it is not a matter of if they die, itis a matter of how they die.One thing that was awesome in part 5 was the way they made it come fullcircle with the first original movie. That was a very inventive strokeof genius on the writer's part. Thumbs up for that twist, it was wellworth it.The cast in "Final Destination 5" was pretty good. Again, lots ofnicely talented young actors and actresses, and people here did a greatjob with their roles and bringing their characters out on the screen."Final Destination 5" is well worth a watch, if for nothing else, thenfor the death scenes alone.

Death doesn't Like to be Cheated

The Presage Paper employees take a bus to spend the day in a retreat.Sam (Nicholas D'Agosto) is an aspirant chef and his girlfriend Molly(Emma Bell) has just ended their relationship, since he intends to takean internship in culinary art in France. While crossing a suspension-bridge that is in maintenance, Sam has a vision where everybody in thebus including him dies after the bridge collapsing. Sam asks the driverto open the door and he leaves the bus with Molly. His friend Peter Friedkin (Miles Fisher) and his girlfriend CandiceHooper (Ellen Wroe) follow Sam and Molly asking them to return to thebus. Olivia Castle (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), Isaac Palmer (P.J.Byrne), Nathan (Arlen Escarpeta) and their boss Dennis Lapman (DavidKoechner ) also leave the bus. When the bridge collapses, they all donot die. The Federal Agent Jim Block (Courtney B. Vance) suspects ofSam, but sooner he receives the technical report concluding that thebridge collapsed due to natural causes (wind). During the funeral of their friends, a creepy man tells to Sam thatdeath does not like to be cheated. Sooner Candice, Isaac and Olivia diein a stranger way and Sam recalls that the survivors are dying in thesequence that they had originally died. The next victim would beNathan, but he accidentally causes the death of the rebel worker Roy.The survivors learn that if they trade spots with another victim, theyreceive the years left in the live of the victim. When I see the franchise "Final Destination, I know exactly what I amgoing to see: a group of teenagers escaping from death in a firstmoment and then death chases each one of them since the storyline isalways the same. "Final Destination 5" has excellent CGI and very creative deaths andnever disappoints; therefore the intention of the director isaccomplished. The sequence with the collapse of the bridge is veryimpressive. The acting is also good and in the end I liked this film.My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Premonição 5" ("Premonition 5")

It just never ends

**1/2 out of (****) (Rotten)After the Twilight Zone-inspired first film, the cheesy second andthird, and the humor ingested fourth, now comes the film that'ssupposed to break the mold. Which it does, but in such a minimal andinessential way, that it just comes down to a typical "FinalDestination" film but slightly better. With the nausea-inducing openingand closing credits, "FD5" can get as flashy as its little heartdesires, but in the end, there's just nothing there."FD5" starts out with our leading protagonists coming into terms withrelationship or job problems. Then the inevitable premonition which isdecent. After that, it pretty much comes down to a typical "FD" movie.After that, the last 30 minutes pave a new way, something we quitehaven't seen before.If I were to rate the first half of "Final Destination", well... morelike the first two thirds, a "4" or "5" would suffice. The shakyperformances and its sheer predictability don't help matters. But if Iwere to rate the last third, an "8" would be more like it. That's thekind of movie I wanted to see. So much intensity and build-up that theviewer's going to explode. Multiple twists and turns. A perfectcat-and-mouse game. Sadly after that those last 30 minutes are up andwe return to the same old ground. However, the twist at the end is avery inspired one and works.The 3D? Take out the obnoxious opening and closing credits and you'vegot yourself a deal. The depth is very nice and the death scenes arewell choreographed. It's worth the surcharge. I could imagine seeing itin 2D. Not very promising.The climax and the twist are the only things that make this movie a cutabove what we've seen. The deaths are the same, acting is still thesame, direction is the same. Shoot, even the 3D is the same. The onlypraise you hear from the critics is faint, and there's a reason forthat. It may be the best in the series, but then again, pretty muchanything could be.

lewiskendell (2012-05-11 08:28)

And Death keeps on rolling.

It's not often that the fifth entry in a series is one of the bestefforts, but Final Destination 5 pulls it off. It's still mostly thesame scenario with new deaths and new actors, but the formula istweaked a bit to make it interesting again.As for the deaths, overall I'd say these are a couple of the mostmemorable in Final Destination history. I'll just say that there willbe no laser eye surgeries or acupuncture appointments in my future. Theactors are just another round of disposable (and vaguely familiar)pretty faces, but they die convincingly enough and aren't excessivelyannoying, and that's all you can really ask for. If you're still up for more Final Destination, this one has as much ormore entertainment value as any of the rest. It even has some linksback to an earlier movie in the series, which fans will appreciate. 

Brian T. Whitlock (2012-05-10 16:36)

Death comes and goes, naturally!

For this franchise, it's got a name for itself. Final Destination 5 hasgot no qualms oh how the individual dies without warning or notice. Theways these deaths goes are indeed intense. The bridge scene I canrelate to that. I have my own fears of crossing it. The water can't bea problem, but a boat or piling is a doozy. The survivors of the bridgemet their fates in very grizzling details. One of the few death scenesI liked were the spa scene which reminded me of an episode of "1000ways to die" sounded familiar. The gymnastics scene really got my goatthe survivor dodged the screw on the balancing beam, and the frayedcord from the fan, but the other girl got the screw, and the gymnastmade a very bad landing. Boy, was that a scene to forget. My realfavorite scene was the laser eye surgery. That poor girl gets her eyescarred up by the laser, and loses it following her death. It was moreinsulting when the car ran it over! Having Tony Todd back made thedifference, he seems to be Death's right hand man. Seeing the other 4death scenes from the FD movies gives it clear statement, you can cheatdeath, but you can't beat death. Great cast, great story, keep itgoing! 3 out of 5 stars!

josh-starling (2012-05-10 16:03)

Good but confused

Watching Final Destination 5 left me confused and full of questions.The end scene shows the remaining two characters (Forgot their names),boarding a plane. The date on the man remainings ticket showed the date: 14 May 2000 The date the plane of the first movie was destroyed andthe date the first movie began and showed a short scene from the firstmovie of a young boy and air hostesses holding him back and exiting himfrom the plane. Has Final Destination 2 gone back in time by 10 years and started thesecond movie from there and onwards? WHICH is also confusing because inthe second one a woman who survived the first movie was in a straightjacket in a padded cell. Confused much. If you have not yet watched this film sorry for anyspoilers and if you have an answer, SHARE IT IN A REVIEW ! Thanks :]
