Death is everywhere around us. Final destination is an American classic horror film since 2000. The film’s ides is unique and different from other horror film. What does it mean? In Final Destination, there is not simply appear death and does not have that violence scene, but just through the tension of music, emerging shadow and, etc. The fear and frustration of life is bringing into the design of death in this film, so the audience is easily lead into sense.
As a fans of final destination, of course I will be watched all the series of FD. However, I have to admit it, final destination is outdated after FD2. If you have seen any of final destination, you already know what is the movie about and what would it happen ongoing the movie. The plot is too narrow. In FD5, the formula isn’t changed but there are a few tweaks. The main one is that survivors can kill someone to take their lifespan and maybe can escape death. The new tweak is the taking the new life can be defeat Death. Not only they have to worry about death, and they worry about what they are willing to do to survive among people.
The film was directed by Steven Quale which he marks as his first work. He was worked visual effect with James Cameron on terminator 2, titanic and avatar. He was expertise with that and this made final destination 5 is so crazy to watch. For the death scene, there is so disturbing and shocking at the all time. Steven Quale plays with the audience expectation. He design many things that can kills a character in certain scene and when you think this is a sharp object will kills them ,but this a totally different way. He kept the audience guessing. The buildup made the movie fun to watch and excited.
As an overall, Final destination 5 is fun to watch. This has been much tension and creative since the previous installment, and the particular scene is filled with uncomfortable and a level of anxiety. However, the storyline are same with previous installment and plot too narrow. Although it seem so cruel and But who cares? We are there just for the death scene. If possible, please see in 3D.you will not regret it. =)
