While hardly a spiritual upgrade of the slasher film, this high-concept teen body-count thriller drops hints of The Sixth Sense into the smart-aleck sensibility of Scream. Helmed by X-Files veteran James Wong, who cowrote the screenplay with longtime creative partner Glen Morgan, Final Destination is an often entertaining thriller marked by an unsettling sense of unease and scenes of eerie imagery. It suffers, however, from a schizophrenic tone and a frankly ludicrous premise. A high school Cassandra, Alex Browning (Devon Sawa of Idle Hands), wakes from a preflight nightmare and panics when he's convinced the plane is doomed. His ruckus bumps seven passengers from the Paris-bound plane, which immediately explodes into a fireball on takeoff, but fate hasn't finished with these lucky few and, one by one, death claims them. Wong brings such a funereal tone to these early scenes of survivor's guilt and inevitable doom that the already far-fetched film threatens to veer into unplanned absurdity. Thankfully, the tale loosens up with a playful morgue humor: one of the victims winds up the splattered punch line to a grim joke and elaborate Rube Goldbergesque chains of cause and effect become inspired spectacles of destruction. Final Destination is a pretty silly thriller when it takes itself seriously, and the filmmakers play fast and loose with their own rules of fate, but once they stick their tongues firmly in cheek, the film takes off with a screwy interpretation of the domino effect of doom. --Sean Axmaker

I have always been a fan of this movie. And now that it's in Blu Ray, it's a no brainer. This is a must have if you own a Blu Ray player. The Sound is awesome and picture quality is great for a movie this old.
My favourite movie March 19, 2009

Final Destination is my absolute favourite ever movie. It has everything you could ever want from a horror movie: unique and likeable characters; brilliant plot twists; extremely inventive deaths (or "accidents"); loads of chilling suspence and enough gore to make the movie scary and fun but not enough to put you off or make you look away.
Alex Browning has a horrific vison of the airplane, which he and his friends have just boarded on a school trip to Paris, exploding shortly after take off. He panicks after the vision and he, four other students and a teacher are forcible removed from the plane by the airline staff. The airplane takes off without them and a few seconds later, explodes just like in Alex's vision as it is ascending into the air.
Thirty-nine days pass and everything seems fine, but then, after the funeral of the victims of the crash one of the survivors dies in a freak accident that is at first dismissed as suicide. But then the other survivors start dying in equally bizzare accidents and Alex and his friends learn that maybe they didn't cheat death after all as the grim reaper is stalkin them one-by-one...
The movie has lots of suspence and just the right amount of gore. It is an absolute must see for any fans of the genre or anybody looking for a good movie.
A Classic in the making! March 3, 2009

This movie kept me on the edge of my seat. It made me think about fate and death all while making me scream and squrim in my seat.
Bottom line this was a great movie...One of the new classics!
