Pretty decent flick

Rating: 9/10 (27 November 2005)

Final Destination is an original piece with a storyline somewhat out of the Twilight Zone. Basically a handful of teenagers escape death (due to the premonitions of the lead character) by boarding off of a plane which explodes shortly after it takes off. Shortly afterward, they all begin to die one by one...in what at first appears to be random circumstances.
My liking of this movie comes mostly due to the fact that movie offers a fairly original screenplay (in todays movies) and its (though light) existential approach. The acting is alright, nothing special, but then again nothing really bad (Ala some of the other slasher films of the late ninties).
In short I think this is one of the more intelligent and original films of recent days and would recommend people to watch it at least once. Like I said the acting is nothing special, and the story does have a couple of flaws in it, but overall its fairly enjoyable.
(If you haven't seen the movie yet...please READ NO FURTHER!!!) My biggest problem lies after the characters figure out about death's plan. To me it seems that there shouldn't have been anyway that they could have cheated the plan (in the second one it gets even worse)..but they do. I know some of you might point to the last scene...but the fact that they could make it even that long.....well suspension of disbelief I guess.
