Advantages: fresh and fun

Disadvantages: is it still fresh and fun?

I remember going to the cinema to see Final Destination and it had such an effect on me that I didn't fly for a good few years after. More on that later...

When it came out, Final Destination was something fresh and original and I thought it was fantastic. The whole concept was brilliant; Death has a plan and if you manage to cheat it, he will come back until he gets you, wherever you are. The film centres on a group of high school kids, all preparing for a school trip to France. Alex, played by Devon Sawa, has what he believes to be a premonition on the plane and wakes up terrified that something tragic will happen on take off. Alex leaves the flight, followed by a group of his terrified classmates. They witness the plane crash on take off and the cycle begins.

One by one, Death wants what he is due.

I still thoroughly enjoy this movie. It's full of heart stopping moments and the various accidents the students get into are original and shocking. I am not sure if to a first time viewer this film would be anything fresh or have much of an impact but at the time of release, this was a hugely popular and scary movie.

I honestly believe Final Destination was the reason for me not flying for about ten years.
