Entertaining, chilling and thrilling sequel with emphasis on increasing the luridness and again with horrifying killings against the survivors of a suspension-bridge collapse . Eerie chiller with portentous special effects and results to be a nasty piece of work . This sequel to successful first original film by James Wong deals with a young who has a vision about deaths and to be aware which by avoiding it , he and others around , but soon begin dying in bizarre accidents . The premonition of a deadly bridge saves his life and a lucky few , but not from death itself which seeks out those who escaped their fate . Amusement and entertainment lies from attempting to guess which of the ludicrously over-determined potential hazards will deliver the creepy killings .
In this 5º installment of the ¨Final Destination¨ series appears none character repeating from former entries , it displays suspense , tension , thrills, and creepy deaths . The chief excitement lies in seeing what new and astonishing victim can be dreamt by the believable FX . Death seem to dispatch new weird killing every few minutes of movie, throughout crashing, beheading , blowing up , crushing , falling , etc . Here death is a mere computer generator FX , the ultimate gross-out show . It's frightening and entertaining though predictable but we have seen the original with similar and interesting premise . Although its predictability is redeemed in part by the charismatic acting of protagonists and all around . It packs a colorful and appropriate cinematography by Brian Pearson . Thrilling musical score fitting to action and suspense by Brian Tyler . The motion picture written by Eric Heisserer, and based on characters created by Jeffrey Reddick was professionally directed by Steven Quale , though without originally because being similar plot to former outings , it result to be a fresh fodder . The series are the followings : Final destination (2000) by James Wong with Dewon Sawa , Kerr Smith , Ali Larter , II sequel by David R Ellis with A.J. Cook , Michael Lastres , Lynda Boyd, James Kirk , Sarah Carter,Jonathan Cherry, Kevin Connor , III sequel by James Wong with Maria Elizabeth Winstead , Ryan Merryman , Texas Battle, Chelan Simmons , Amanda Crew and The Final Destination IV by David R Ellis with Nick Zano , Haley Webb , Mykelti Williamson and Krista Allen .
Otherwise the death scenes were so intense and sudden that I shrieked at first but then found myself and the people around me laughing in relief and self-awareness.
FD fans will get a huge kick out of the final scene, as well as the ending montage of past FD death scenes.
Yes, Final Destination 5 is truly the best sequel since the first. There hasn't been this much tension and creativity since the original, and practically every scene is filled with an uncomfortable level of anxiety. This is what the film has truly been missing, whether spoiled by the trailers before it or just a lack of creativity. For the most part, Final Destination 3 and 4 (TFD) lacked the necessary level of creativity and menace that was present in the first film, and even in the second. However, we have plenty of that here and a few nice twists as well. While the kills are also pretty ridiculous, most are plausible and, unlike TFD, should please fans with their level of gore and brutality.
The filmmaking qualities here reach above the standard the film has set. It looks great, with plenty of swift and enticing editing that will make your skin crawl with anticipation. The acting, while still not of any award winning caliber, or even really all that great, is decent enough here. The portrayals are more realistic this time around. While the film had though to settle into the I-found-the-answers-on-the-internet routine, here we have a smooth flow in which characters sort of lose their mind trying to figure things out. And while some might have called the main couple's relationship cringe worthy, I actually found it to be quite well played out as the couple has real issues they work through on top of everything that's going on. Suffice to say, it's nice to see the FD series making better attempts at developing it's characters. Still not great, but better.
With that said, this is Final Destination, and problems persist. Despite better attempts at character development, the majority still play fodder for death's machinations. Sure, we learn a little about them, but it's not any more than the bare minimum: this guys a jerk, that girls wild, etc etc. There is also one kill, in particular, that, while brutal, defies logic. Sure, it's FD, but there is a certain point of ridiculousness where the line is drawn. The characters trying to figure out what's going on is also getting old. There's certainly a reason here, which I won't spoil, why our characters don't know about what is happening in the same way characters from previous films know. But this leads to the problem of it being explained too quickly. This might contradict what I said above, but what I mean is that Tony Todd's character if far too quick to reveal information and the new twist. In comparison to FD1, where things had a slow, natural pacing, here we get a couple death scenes, and explanation, and then more death scenes. The progression is better, but still not as good as the first two films.
Fans will truly enjoy this solid sequel. There are a couple twists, and the final scene will blow everyone away. It's beyond what you would expect, and very nearly worth seeing the film alone. But with a handful of creative and brutal twists and a decently put together film, this should certainly warrant a decent box office and, maybe unfortunately, another sequel or two.
Lo sapevi?
- Quiz(at around 1h 25 mins) A picture of Roy standing next to the #6 race car, which caused the crash on the racetrack in The Final Destination 3D (2009), is seen in the bar.
- Blooper(at around 1h 18 mins) In the kitchen there are two large bottles for the fire suppression system on the wall. When Peter shoots one of the bottles, gas comes spraying out. Restaurant systems do not use gaseous suppression agents, they use either liquid/foam or dry chemical agents. Because in principle they rely on displacing enough oxygen in the room to starve the fire, gas systems are ineffective against "localized" grease fires - in addition to being potentially lethal to anyone in the room when discharge occurs. They are only used in areas where fires would be electrical in nature and dry chemicals or foams would cause collateral damage to sensitive equipment (such as computer rooms).
- Citazioni
Sam: You warned us. At the memorial service. You said death didn't like to be cheated.
William Bludworth: It's just that I've seen this before.
Nathan: You've seen what?
William Bludworth: A lucky few survive a disaster. And then one by one... death comes for them all. You changed things on that bridge. There's a wrinkle in reality. And that wrinkle is you.
Nathan: So what, we're doomed to die? I mean is - is that it? We just got our lives back, so what kind of fucked up karma's that?
Sam: Are you saying we can't stop this?
William Bludworth: You were supposed to die on that bridge. You're not supposed to be here. You shorted death. So you let death have somebody else in your place, and you take their spot in the realm of the living. All the days and years that they have yet to live. And they take *your* place in death. Then the books are balanced.
Peter Friedkin: Wait a minute. We kill someone, we get their life? Is that what you're telling me?
William Bludworth: I don't make the rules. I just clean up... after the game is over.
