WE´RE ALL GONNA DIE !!!!

Rating: Null/10 (10 August 2000)

Yes, there are plenty of plot holes in this movie, yes it´s another teen slasher, yes the ending has to much special effects and no decent plot. But... Despite all this... The idea is excellent and not so badly developed as it looks, the usual "teen-clichés" never get over the story just to fill screen time, there are no f@#%-up dudes slashing teens with knifes, the deaths are original although by the end they got totally predictable (this is a Hollywood teen flic after all), the movie sometimes can get very uncomfortable because it has a brilliant dark creepy atmosphere, and despite all the shallow action and plot dumbness FINAL DESTINATION, still can put people talking about its theme. Death and destiny. Because in the middle of all that sometimes Hollywood mess, this story still raises interesting questions. And creepy ones also, it was great to listen to the unconfortable silence people were making in the theater sometimes where some questions were being pointed out in the movie. SCREAM didn´t do that at all, because couldn´t care less about the plot, we just wanted to see the next babe getting slashed. So in my opinion FINAL DESTINATION, is the best teen-movie around, altohugh i think it´s unfair to classify it like that, because despite all the flaws this still is a more intelligent movie than all the rest. After all, if it hadn´t a teen cast, nobody would think to compare it, with all the teen movies around. In fact i would love to see a more "mature" version of this with an all adult cast, altough it might got ruined if it had Big Hollywood names on it, because a great thing in this teen cast is that there are no Hollywood big stars in it. Just recognizable faces, and this gives much more credibility, to the story, if you let yourself get carried away by the atmosphere, and forget about the "little things" for a minute. Nobody was complaining in the SCREAM movies ,right ? So why attack FINAL DESTINATION, because of that ?
This is a very good comercial movie. The best teen movie in years. It has a good idea, good atmosphere, it can make you wonder about your own destiny, and it´s fun to watch. Ok, i know the ending sucks, but well...maybe next time.
Overall, i don´t think this movie is a bad one. MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 2 and THE PATRIOT. Now here´s to awful and empty movies. But i don´t see many people complaining about those. Go watch FINAL DESTINATION instead. Good movie.
But after this i´ll never get near an airplane, or a car, or a computer, or a house, or a...my god we´re trapped ! We´re all gonna die !!! Brrrrrr :-)
