Has it's ups and downs

Rating: 6/10 (5 November 2012)

I can't really say that "Final Destination" is a bad movie,but it's not anything special either.
What I liked the most about this film was the idea-everyone's destiny being predetermined and what would happen if you "cheat" death.I thought it was very creative.
The only characters you will probably care about are Alex,the protagonist,Clear,the love interest(sort of) and Carter,the a**hole.These three characters are the only ones that get any kind of development.Everyone else is pretty much cannon fodder.
I didn't quite like the death scenes,though.The special effects were decent,but the scenes themselves seemed kind of implausible.The scene that irritates me the most is the death of the teacher,Ms.Lewton.I mean,she sees smoke coming from her computer and what does she do,walk towards it very slowly,how stupid do you have to be to do that.As much as I criticize the death scenes,they are somewhat suspenseful.The whole movie is,especially in the final 10 minutes.
"Final Destination" is an alright movie and it's a lot better than most teenage horror flicks out there.
