Not for the pretentious..

Rating: Null/10 (11 October 2000)

Your opinion of "Final Destination" is all in how you take it. I took it as a movie with an interesting premise that was carried through in a fun way all the way to the end. While waiting to board a plane for a class trip to Paris, Alex Browning (Devon Sawa) has an accurate premonition of disaster, and after a panic attack is thrown off the plane along with a few other passengers. Were they meant to die in the plane? Death thinks so and will stay on their tail until it knocks them off one by one. The thing you have to understand about this movie is that it is not meant to be deathly serious. The John Denver songs and the way each attack by death is more outrageous than the last is indication of that. I guess some people just didn't catch on to those clues. A serious tone to this material would not have worked and neither would a slow pace. That is why the movie is fun and fast paced as well it should be.
