Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated The Final Destination (2009) in Movies

Jun 10, 2019

Touted to be the last film in the series, The Final Destination is even more disappointing than its predecessor and thankfully not the final outing for the franchise.

Utilising sloppy 3D effects that cheapened the film’s look was a bad move by director David R. Ellis and even the main disaster was uninspiring to watch – a NASCAR race just didn’t cut it after already having a vehicular disaster in Final Destination 2. The climax however, staged in a cinema, is incredibly clever.

Add to this some truly dreadful acting and awful dialogue and it makes for a low-point that thankfully was reversed just two years later. Unbelievably, this was also the most successful of the series.

Seen this too many times

I used to watch this movie a lot when I was in middle school.

Kind of a Star Wars/Logan's Run ripoff where an enslaved civilization lives underground doing the bidding of the evil Zygon never questioning if there is a world above or where they fit in the universe. The discovery of a mysterious sword hilt send Orin on an outer space adventure he would never forget.

It was always funny hearing animated characters says "damn" and "shit" when I was younger. Not a big deal now.

Originally released in 3D, you can tell when you watch, but it is still an entertaining animated thrill ride adventure.
