The First Final Destination is Hardly the Final Destination

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2015)

Director James Wong and His "X-Files" Buddy Glen Morgan cut Their Paranormal Teeth on that influential TV Show (one of the best TV Series ever) and They Delivered one of the most Original and Exciting Movies in the First Year of the New Millennium, they also worked on the Chris Carter TV Series "Millennium", also a Fine if Dark Series.
So the Success and Popularity of the Movie is Not that Surprising. What is Surprising is how Mainstream Professional Critics Missed this one by a Country Mile. Receiving Mediocre to Terrible Reviews on its Initial Release, the Pros showed No Signs of Knowing what Impact and Fan based Enthusiasm would Embark. It Spawned a Franchise.
Garnering a 6.something on IMDb and a 30 something on Metacritic it was and is vastly Underrated. Smart, Gory, Suspenseful and full of Horror Movie Fun.
Clever and Beautifully Rendered, the Movie is an Eye Candy Treat with a Slick Gloss and some Sick Kills. This is Simply one of the Best Horror Movies to come along since the Slasher and Teen Death Films made Their Mark on Movies. Containing No Nude Scenes or Teen Lust, it is Concerned with Immortality and Youth confronting that which all Youngsters Enjoy. The Delusion that They will Live Forever.
Not many of the Characters make it to the Sequel and You have to Watch it to Find Who and Why. The Movie will make You feel that Cheating Death is Futile, and it is. So Kick Back and Think about Every Day that You are Blessed and Enjoy the Ride. This is one Movie that is Just that. Quite a Ride.
