Final Destination 5 3D is meant to be the last in the line of the horror franchise with the recurring theme of death by design and not being able to cheat death.
As with the all the films before, we follow 6 characters that manage to walk away from their planned deaths after one character has a premonition. They get off the bus unscathed, happy to be safe, but unsettled as to how they knew to get off the bus in the first place.
What follows are some insanely inventive death sequences with cartoon gory detail. In 3D, which made all the more cartoon and funny.
Of all the FD films, other than the first (which is the best) this has to be the next best thing. Its smart, deaths come hard and fast and it appeals to the fun side of the franchise.
I can't tell you how much I laughed throughout this film. I don't think that was the intention its just that some of it was so ludicrous I couldn't help but crack up.
It does end in a really neat way that gives it the edge over 2, 3 and 4.
Best bit of the whole film is the opening credits. Great use of 3D and really playing on the horror theme well.
Well worth a watch, and sit next to some old Thai ladies. Who can't seem to cope with the jumps and scream and laugh throughout. Horror films are always better when there are lots of people screaming in one place.
