Final Destination 5 (2011)

The Worst Film Ever

From my favorite movies..

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This is one of the worst horror movie ever. It is so predictable. The 1st Final Destination is better. And that is an awful movie. Final Destination 2 is a better movie. And that is an awful movie. Final Destination 3 is great movie. That is the best Final Destination movie it is one of the best horror movies of all time. And this one is just pooh pooh. Final Destination 3D is a better movie and that was awful. Why does this have a 5.9. It is not scary at all. There is to mush hype about this movie. It is very badly written do not see it. Just see Final Destination 3 and do not bother with an of the other Final Destination movies.

For ten years characters have been succumbing to death in inventive and visceral ways, but in some of the franchise additions the stories and actual characters have sucked, it's only 3 and 5 that have freshened up things. Final Destination 5 is hands down the best in the franchise, and the use of 3D is alarmingly terrifying and jarringly realistic, the effects, shot in native 3D, truly make this movie the best 3D horror. Nicholas D'Agosto plays Sam, a hopeful Chef who has a vision of a Bridge collapse whilst on a business retreat. After realising his premonition is a hint of things to come, he flees the bridge along with seven of his co-workers narrowly escaping death. But they have cheated death, and now it's coming for them. The biggest bit of praise I will give this new entry is the cool premise of "take a life, to save yours". Essentially the characters think if they kill somebody else death will skip them, it's a great premise to keep the franchise fresh, especially after the abysmal entry Final Destination 4. Although Mary Elizabeth Winstead remains my favourite lead in the franchise, D'Agosto is excellent, he plays the part very well as Sam, who after the disaster tries to go about life normally. The supporting cast in this one are the best, I loved Jacqueline MacInnes' Wood whose performance is witty and sexy, and Emma Bell ups her game yet again which I didn't think was possible as she was incredible in Frozen (2010) Every single entry to this franchise, even the shoddy fourth entry, feature wonderfully gory death scenes that crank the inventiveness level up each time. Number five boasts the most suspenseful deaths, Director Steven Quale literally keeps you affixiated to the screen gritting your teeth as he builds up to the terror before the death. The first death is gloriously gory and painful to watch, as Ellen Wroe's Candice dies after a horrific gymnast accident where her whole body snaps, but it's the consistent shots of that damned sharp screw in view that will keep you on edge. P.J Byrne's Oscar gets what he deserves after thieving a dead co-workers massage therapy appointment, involving acupuncture needles and a bloody big Buddha statue, I needn't say no more. Best of though is Jacqueline MacInnes' Wood's character, Olivia, who undergoes laser eye surgery. It's visceral, no holds barred and unbearable, feeling sick is how I would describe this fine horror moment. All this in absolutely glorious and proper 3D only adds to the twisted nature, those acupuncture needles poke out the screen, the laser eye breaches the barriers of the TV screen plus many loose objects pop out at you. Although the highlight is the frightening bridge collapse, it is undoubtedly one of the finest visual set pieces ever and the best premonition in the Final Destination series. Sam foresees the collapse, each of the key characters is either sliced up, flattened beneath falling debris or splattered, and the depth effects sprawl into the screen spectacularly, I was in awe at the whole sequence, 3D has never felt more alive or far away. Blood splatters onto your glasses, and even simple shots of the characters talking you can tell how convincing the depth is.

Sam Lawton (Nicholas D'Agosto) is going to his brother's wedding but his girlfriend Molly Harper (Emma Bell) cancels and breaks up. He is wrestling with a job offer in Paris. His friend boss Peter Friedkin (Miles Fisher) is trying to hide a relationship with intern Candice Hooper (Ellen Wroe). Olivia Castle (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is a bitch. Isaac Palmer (P.J. Byrne) is a talkative womanizer. Nathan (Arlen Escarpeta) is pushed by union rep Roy and Dennis (David Koechner) is the big boss. The group is going to a business team-building retreat. The bridge collapses and most of them die. It turns out to be a dream and Sam is able to save 8 of the group. However death has different designs. Agent Jim Block (Courtney B. Vance) investigates but he doesn't believe Sam's explanation. Coroner William Bludworth (Tony Todd) warns them and gives them a possible solution.The opening bridge death dream sequence is great and a vast improvement over the previous racetrack sequence in 4. The CG looks much better this time around. The set pieces look realistic except maybe for the final kills. After the save, the individual kills are nothing new to the franchise. The laser eye surgery is a nice kill. There is something about being close to the eye that is truly creepy. Also the final twist is nicely constructed. And who doesn't love a kill montage.

Final destination was directed by Steven Quale in which Nicholas D'Agosto was casted as lead role Sam Laton.The Visual effects in this movie were splendid, especially in the sequence where the lead character in his precognitive dream manages to see his future in which he along with his friends were killed by collapse of the enormous bridge on which they were traveling.The movie was successful in transporting the audience as participants in the movie.Every single shot was clearly shot with utmost care so that the continuity is maintained.The movie was a taut, sharp and intelligent piece of horror. Indeed the films horror was based on a good use of suspense rather than out-and-out gore.The way in which the deaths were directed were really horrendous.The overall conclusion we can draw by watching the movie was death is not an accident but is planned so that when your time comes, you can absolutely do nothing about it. You can only cheat death temporarily. It'll get you in the end, by any means necessary no matter what plans you have made to avoid it. Morbid to be honest, but entirely true. Overall the moving rating is 3.5/5.
