Final Destination is a unique horror film, because its not a slasher, its not a ghost film, aliens, demons ETC. The only thing that is killing the victims is death itself.
The film starts off with a high school French class taking a fieldtrip to France. Your main characters are the typical high school stereotypes: outcast, goofy guy, jock prick and his trashy gf. But the real main character is Alex Browning (Devon Sawa) who starts seeing creepy signs before the classes trip. While on the plane Alex falls asleep and has a dream that the plane explodes, when he awakens things start occurring exactly like his dream. Alex freaks out and is taken off the plane, and so are a few other students. In the hangers waiting area everyone sits and ridicules Alex, the plane then takes off...and blows up, Alex goes from crazy, to prophet. The rest of the movie follows the remaining characters and them dying because they should have died on the plane, so death has to get them some way. Alex figures this out and tries to trick death again. So the story is unique, pretty ridiculous but fun for what its worth.
Overall: When the characters are being killed it is entertaining, the kills are unique and pretty awesome. Though when no one is dying its pretty boring, and the acting is nothing to keep your interest.
**1/2 out of 5
