That said, the producers stated after the previous FD movie that they wanted to take the franchise back to its more serious roots for the next film on the reasoning that it had become too jokey. Thankfully, while this fifth entry features one of the series most squirm-inducing set pieces, it's just as light in tone as the previous three films and the most enjoyable since part two, unquestionably the series’ highpoint.
The set piece mentioned above involves laser eye surgery and had me holding my hands over my eyes for the first time since Natalie Portman did horrible things to her cuticles in Black Swan. The suspension bridge disaster is the best opening gambit since part two's motorway pile-up and a gymnastics routine features a notably awesome death scene.
An attempt to add a narrative flourish via the notion that you can suspend your own inevitable death by killing someone else doesn't go anywhere interesting but there's more attention paid to character and plot here than in the paper-thin part four. Leads Nicholas D'Agosto (Election) and Emma Bell (TV’s The Walking Dead) do their jobs without flair, while Tom Cruise-lookalike Miles Fisher is amusing as a cocksure alpha male losing his composure.
There's enough shallow fun in Final Destination 5 to justify yet another entry and it manages to tie into the first film in a moderately amusing way. Hide
Looks darker like the original, i might see this one. maybe, looks good aye.
great another one, the first one was cool, but thats when they should of stopped
i enjoyed the 1st two but why oh why do they keep bringing more out? b-rated films with b-rated actors!
What the?? not another one of these "FINAL" movies, its never the final, and its all the same. Invent something new!
Is what people who make these movies need.
Just plan silly
Wait... Wasn't the last one called THE Final Destination?They're just milking the franchise. Please stop
Final Destination is the perfect platform for ongoing horror movies as it includes a killer that can't be stopped.
Thats two destinations too many, after the third it got old.
if they had made this one first they could have made a good series.
hahahaaa.... wait, this is a comedy right ? ;)
why hollywood why
AWESOME :D
Hope this comes to Ashburton Cinema
