If gore is what you want and you’re a fan of the Final Destination series, this movie in 3D is a must. The makers have taken full advantage of the 3D effects rather generously (and obnoxiously in the opening credits)
As typical in FD movies we have the seer, Sam (Nicholas D'Agosto), seer’s girlfriend/love interest Molly (Emma Bell), best friend Peter (a very Tom Cruise like Miles Fisher), the peacemaker Nathan (Arlen Escarpeta), the clueless arrogant boss Dennis (David Koechner), best friend’s girlfriend, hot tough chick who never gets naked, and total jerk who all get saved from a very graphic and panic driven suspension bridge collapse thanks to a timely vision from Sam. Tony Todd (of Candyman fame) returns to deliver the ominous warning to the group. Death will not be cheated.
The warning is eventually taken seriously by the survivors as one by one members start to die in unique, gory, and 3D gratuitous ways. Maybe it’s my age or outlook in life, maybe I have been desensitized as all of the media has warned, but the movie was more funny (in that 1000 ways to die television show way) than scary. With all of the laughs and flitching from the rest of the audience, I can tell I wasn’t alone.
The movie does have a nice twist at the end and there is a nice 3D enhanced montage of the previous four movie killing enhanced with a 3D surprise. The representative mentioned that there were 12 other movies planned, which seems very optimistic to me, but who knows.
