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.

I took my daughter to the cinema to watch this film not expecting much at all... I was blown away. From the costumes and the colours, the love story.... The fun! I found myself tapping my feet along to the songs and getting invested in the characters. The songs fit the film beautifully and the actors were picked perfectly. My daughter who is very shy and suffers from anxiety came away feeling great and said to me "you know what it is ok to be different" this is me resonated with a lot of people. A great film and amazing soundtrack. We went onto Spotify and got it as soon as we could!

Another bleak British belter

British cinema tends to be a)about working class people and b) be very miserable. I had a group of American friends staying over and shared with then a selection of British films. They all admitted to feeling suicidal at the end of it.

Some people will watch Funny Cow and expect a rip roaring comedy about a female stand up comedian. That it is not. This is the story of a working class rebel fighting domestic violence and oppression by seeing the funny side. It is brave and probably be very misunderstood by most. For me it was a poignant reminder of the fight some people have to be heard. A brave and strong film.
