In this teenage horror film, a young man avoids the hand of death, only to find that he can't get away from it so easily. On the way to Paris with his high-school French club, Alex Browning (Devon Sawa) has a vivid premonition of the plane crashing and killing all its passengers. After Alex and some other passengers demand to be let off the flight, his premonition turns out to be true, and the jet explodes during takeoff. While the FBI is convinced that Alex was involved in some kind of foul play, the passengers who got off the flight are all dying in horrible ways, as if whoever determined that the passengers would perish is punishing those who cheated death. Final Destination marked the feature directorial debut of James Wong, a producer and director for the TV series The X Files. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

| There are movies that require a test audience and then there are movies that do not. This is a movie that obviously needed a test audience in order to make it a hit. The original concept didn't go over well with the "Scream" crowd, so they changed it by editing out a deeper storyline and adding more people dying. Personally I enjoy a movie that doesn't pander to a target audience but instead is a bold new statement from a screenwriter/director/cast/etc. But then again I'm not the demographic they were shooting for. It's not a bad movie at all, but I wouldn't call it edgy or avant garde either. |
