Good Premise- Entertaining Film

Rating: 8/10 (12 November 2000)

I heard mixed things about this movie before I viewed it. While several people claimed to hate it, I heard more people give it positive reviews. So I gave it a chance.
This movie was very good for a genre which puts out so many bad ones. At some points of the film, the dialogue could have been written better- but who cares? This film wasn't written for its literary genius, it was written to entertain its audience, and to give them a few thrills.
The opening scene on the airplane draws you in so fast, and it does not let you go until the end. And even at the end it doesn't quite let you go, because it leaves you thinking about it's interesting premise that deals with cheating death. Yes, some of the death scenes were far fetched, but it's a movie. Films are supposed to place you in another world. So I agree with the majority who gave Final Destination a good review. It is a good, fun, creepy flick. Oh- and Stiffler (American Pie) actually plays a dork in this one, yet he's still Stiffler. Let the typecasting begin!
