Just like the title says, don't expect too much from this movie. The 3-D experience is really the only reason to go see it and that can still be a tough sell for some. I saw all the rest of the Final Destination movies (there were 3 before this one), so I thought it would be cool to see this - since 3-D would make the death scenes much more dramatic.The biggest problem with this movie, is that well this has all been done before - there really is nothing new. For anyone out there who has never seen the other movies, the basic story is this (stop right here if you don't want too know) - a group of friends are usually hanging out somewhere and one of them has a premonition that things will go horribly wrong. This person sees their death and their friend's death in graphic detail, so they convince their friends that have to leave now and sure enough everything they see comes true. But the real question is, did they really escape death or just delay it???
So this was a good concept, when the original movie came out back in 2000, there wasn't really a movie like this at time. There are never any ghosts, demons or serial killers, it's just the shadowy hand of death that's stalking them. But the problem is this plot has been done to death (pardon the pun) in the other movies - and with nothing really new in this movie- what's the point except for the 3-D maybe???
So let's talk about the 3-D then, this is really the only reason why you would see this movie. If you really enjoy thrillers, there are lots of gory death scenes and the 3-D just really brings them to life. Movies like this are perfect for 3-D, and the newer 3-D technology far surpasses those older paper 3-D glasses you used to have too wear.
So if you don't mind all the gore and want the death scenes to jump off the screen, then you may be satisfied with this movie, however if you still expect more from "The Final Destination", then you're better off to rent the original "Final Destination" and see where it all began .
