Final Destination (2000)

I Died Too.

[3 November 2003]

This was supposed to be a great movie.It follows the exploits of a bunch of absolutely typical American teenagers [the girls are beautiful,the boys handsome] who narrowly escape death on a plane when one of them has a vision of the impending disaster.But Death won"t be cheated,and it sets out to claim them back.What we have here is "Alien" without a monster;it picks them off one by one in a variety of satisfying ways,but ultimately we feel cheated by not seeing its dripping fangs.The movie is heavy on visual cliches too--i lost count of the "running away from large explosions in slow













motion" scenes!If you are foolish enough to watch this movie,be warned; you will be two hours nearer your own death by the time its finished.
