Enjoyable

Rating: 7/10 (22 October 2000)

From Glen Morgan and James Wong, alumni of TV's "The X-Files" and "Space: Above And Beyond," we, the audience, get an entertaining flick that comes as close to a thrill ride as Hollywood can offer as of late.
Alex Browning, played by Devon Sawa who was in the 1999 teen flick "Idle Hands," foresees the tragic crash of the plane that he and his fellow classmates are on; he and six others make it off the plane before his premonition becomes reality. Now, having cheated death and that which was meant to happen, the seven survivors are left to be stalked by the menacing powers of fate. They only have so much time to figure out the pattern that death has set before them and how to prevent the powers that be from deciding their ultimate fate.
I enjoyed this movie. It wasn't anything too involved and nothing you really had to think too hard about, and that's exactly what I was looking for. It presented an interesting idea of escaping the path that is set before us and taking control of the things that are often beyond our grasp, if but for a mere instant.
The entire movie looked and felt like an episode of "The X-Files" and that probably added to some of my enjoyment. If that's your thing, I think you'll really like it. And if you're looking for something other than the cheesy horror flicks that Hollywood continues to vomit at us, then try "Final Destination" for a change.
