The Final Destination (2009)

Well, delivers exactly what it tries to. If you're looking for some more (admittedly inventive) Rube Goldberg-style deaths and lots of CGI blood flying at the screen, this is your movie. But if you want a coherent plot or characters that are more than carbon-copy cardboard cutouts, look elsewhere.

I've yet to see #3, but as far as I can tell this series should have called it quits after the original. The first is one of my favourite modern slashers, but all the sequels I've seen are just lazy attempts to cash in. The beauty of the first wasn't just the cool deaths - it actually had a half-decent script and some fresh ideas. Like I say, I can't speak for the third, otherwise the rest of the series is just a string of crazy kills without any other reason to care.

You can tell from the trailer if you'll like this one or not. Personally, I'm glad I caught it at a discount theatre - it wasn't a complete waste of time, but I would have been pissed if I'd paid full price.
