OK, I watched it today for the first time, and yeah I was definitely disappointed. I don't go into these movies expecting to be wowed or anything, I usually put my expectations low, so perhaps I'll be surprised and like it. First off, the 3D gimmick has never worked, since the 1950's studios have tried to make us shell out more money for the us of glasses that make us look like idiots. In the 50's people were wowed by the images of things coming at them, but in this day and age, when technology is so ramped, its not cool or OMG amazing, its just annoying. I went to see Thor and had no choice, but to see it in 3D, cause my theaters didn't give th 2D version, so I had to shell out like 5 dollars for about 10 minutes worth of useful 3D, while the rest of the film was actually in 2D.
OK, well I'm getting off the subject here; The Final Destination, just seemed to recycle the same crap again, which isn't surprising, but its like they didn't even try. The acting didn't feel real, it just felt forced, the deaths weren't cool, they were either predictable, stretched out too long or unrealistic(a guy gets suck into a suction drain). Another problem here is the filmmakers did write in a somewhat interesting idea, a lead character that diverts TWO disasters....
SPOILERS
Near the end of the film, the lead has a premonition of his girlfriend and her best friend being killed in a mall explosion(starting in the theater where there watching a OMG WHAT A SHOCK, A 3D FILM), by the end of the premonition he sees himself watching her die and than comes back to reality. He than heads to the theaters to stop the disaster and is successful. This means a new group of people were saved from death by this guy, they were all meant to die, due to these two girls being in the area and their still alive. A hobo, later makes a remark that he saved so many people who would have died, but that is all that is mentioned from it.
Wouldn't this mean that Death was gonna go after those people now? Why not, start the next movie off with him stopping the theater disaster and following a group of the people that were there and finding out what is going on(it could happen in between the two week span before the actual end of the movie)? Instead we are getting yet another stupid 3D film of a bridge disaster. If these films have made anything clear, its that Death never spares, and yet we get a mall full of spared people, plus the two kids, whose mom was killed by a rock through the eye are still alive(they would have died in the racetrack disaster too)
