Ok, here's the thing: If you've seen the first Final Destination, you've pretty much seen them all as far as plot points. For the layman, it goes like so - Some kid is doing something with their friends/co-workers/complete strangers, and right before this something occurs, the kid gets a 'vision' of his and their deaths in all its gory detail.
The kid snaps out of it, notices a familiar piece happening in real time that happened in the vision, has a public meltdown, and gets all of the people involved to follow him to avoid this tragedy. The tragedy ensues, but they all live. Now Death is pissed off, and it's coming back for each person in the order they were supposed to die. The deaths are gruesome and graphic; audience cheers; $10.00 well spent.
The only thing unique to each volume after the first one, much like the Saw series, is the death sequences themselves. They truly are a blood spatter fest, ranging from cooking teens in a tanning bed to being cut down into quarters by a flying barbed wire fence (yes, really).
Part 5 starts the same, and has plenty of glorious demise situations for the survivors of a bridge collapse (this movie's 'big vision' plot). Creative and over the top, there are a few that may pucker up yer butthole (I won't be getting laser eye surgery. Like, ever).
But the real twist that this film brings to life is the ending. It was nice to see something original out of a series getting long in the tooth, and it really was a great shocker for fans of the films.
I caught it in 3D, and it really was worth the extra few bucks. I highly recommend this to anyone as a fan of the Desintation flicks, and horror junkies alike. You're looking at about 90 minutes, Rated R.
