The Final Destination 3D (DVD)

On my way into the cinema to see my first ever 3-d film, I happened to comment to my cousin how much funner horror was for the American's. You hear stories of them being carried out on stretchers, vomiting in the aisles and screaming their lungs out at the drop of a pin. Here in Britain, we simply jolt for a second and then shudder as we comment on how scary the thing was. I was soon eating my words, very nearly literally, with a pick axe attached. The plot is very nearly secondary to everything else. We've seen it all before - three times in fact. Some teen is out on a trip of sorts with a group of wise cracking sexed up pals. Suddenly, said teen has a ...  Read the complete review

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room The Final Destination series used to be fun; it had that kitschy sense of its own silliness and just went with it, delivering hilariously gruesome kills alongside an interesting premise. However, with the thought that audiences might start getting bored with this idea, New Line Cinema have added a 3D gimmick that sadly doesn't manage to reinvigorate what is by now a truly flagging series. It's the same schtick we've seen before - an attractive teenage, Nick O'Bannon (Bobby Campo), has a premonition that a huge accident is going to happen on a speedway, and thus he escapes, only for the ...  Read the complete review

Not exactly a movie with a complicated plot, but as it was a 3D movie, I thought I'd watch it on the big screen. The trilogy prior to this, as most trilogy's tend to, started to drift off into the abyss. Like I, said, had this not been a 3D experience, I more than likely would not have watched it. This movie comes under the genre of horror/thriller. Personally, I feel that black comedy is more of an accurate term. The actual plot is very weak and predictable. This movie has hit a new level of goriness, with the typical addition of nudity which doesn't add to the plot. As my first 3D movie, this proved to be memorable, especially in the opening scene ...  Read the complete review

The Final Destination, I thought, would be the best of the lot, and with the new 3-D technology seemed like a great vehicle for the fourth outing of this teen horror story. Once again our hero has a vision, this time at the racetrack where a terrible accident hurtles one of the cars into the crowd killing many people in a very gory, sharp pieces of wood through the head, kind of way. Nick O'Bannon then starts to realise that his vision is about to come true and tries to warn everyone what is about to befall them. Having managed to avert death for these chosen few, death then starts catching up with them one by one in its own gruesome way.... Hmm, ...  Read the complete review
