Laughably Bad Horror Film!

Rating: 2/10 (3 April 2001)

The fact that this film is so popular seems almost as implausible as the incredibly predictable "moments of suspense" it contains!
Personally, I found it hilariously bad! The acting wasn't as bad as the story, but no amount of Hollywood talent could have made this film worthwhile unless it had been written as a comedy.
The film presents Death as so methodical and swift, but so many times that all of the people who walked off the plane before it crashed are grouped together, Death is taking a breather, apparently! I mean, for cryin' out loud! At least 39 days have passed before Death even decides to take care of his unfinished business!
As for the ending, I have to wonder if the writers hadn't been watching some Road Runner cartoons as they wrote it! If you've seen it, you'll know what I mean.
So many people have praised this film for being original. But in my opinion, it borrows much from "The Frighteners," a horror/comedy from a few years back. If you want to see a film with someone dealing with Death in a decent horror/comedy context, I'd highly recommend watching "The Frighteners" instead of "Final Destination."
I suppose if you want a good "Mystery Science Theater 3000" type of laugh-fest, "Final Destination" might be the sort of movie for you. Any value beyond that is unknown to me!
