Screen Rant ’s Paul Young reviewsFinal Destination
While Vic ( Screen Ranthead boss ) gets to retrospect all the in effect movies likeInglourious Basterds , District 9and evenG.I. Joe : upgrade of Cobra , I ’m stuck watching I volunteer to view the movies no one else wants to see . So , when I walk intoThe last Destinationtonight firmly grasping the my flimsy short straw , I to the full expected the spoiled , planned for no better than hunky-dory and skip for the best .
Guess which one I got ?
It ’s mostly my break I suppose . I had to choose wisely between eitherThe Final DestinationorHalloween 2,which is sort of like prefer wisely between a kid to hit me in the crotch with either a baseball bat or a golf game club . But like a good reviewer , I cinched up my petticoat and walked blindly into the awaiting peril , scream at that kidskin with the blunt ball - busting legal document : " occur ON KID ! GIVE ME YOUR BEST stroke ! I CAN TAKE IT ! "
Well , it would seem that I ca n’t take it - and after 80 grueling , boring , predictable minutes , I hobbled out of the theater with a old bag of ice strapped to my crotch as the nipper ridiculed me , signal and laughing at my intense displeasure . And much like my flimsy stubble , The Final Destinationwas just as flimsy in plot , character , FX and ending .
The Final Destination , which is the prescribed championship because purportedly " The " implies it ’s the last of the quadrilogy , fails with just about every undertaking it sets out to accomplish . I ’ll start with the 3D aspect of the film . I ’m so tired of the worn out , generic , feeble ( NAY , miserable ) effort of theater director today to use 3D engineering science . Every 3D panorama in the movie is predictable and most , if not all , were done in very bad CGI ( not G.I. Joe - bad mind , you but still jolly lamentable ) . They start out decent enough , with race car driving into your face but then quickly move to the former base - by " lookout here come up a fell object towards you so duck’s egg like you believe something is actually leave the cover and run to hit you in the brass " routine . In fact , after the race scene , most of the 3D " effects " ( and I use that condition for want of a sound descriptive word ) are objects flying at our facial expression .
They even throw in the obligatory " CGI champagne cork popping up in the air " prospect - and it was about that time I audibly groan . At this breaker point , I enquire why they did n’t just have someone stand in front of the television camera for twenty minutes advertize a control stick in and out at the interview making a " Ohhhhhh " audio to get the most of their 3D budget .

I really did savour the first twoFinal Destinationfilms , the third was n’t so spicy , but each of them had the same author so I picture if he was back for this one then at least the story would be decorous . Only time I have ever been more wrong was Spring Break in Key West at a club call Diva ’s with a " lady friend " name Adam .
Eric Bress and Jeffery Reddick are on full sail control here , giving us characters we perfectly care nothing about , therefore have no vested interest in whether they go or die . The only doer worth mention is Mykelti Williamson as the security guard . He is given the funniest scenery of the film and some of the good lines but without give anything by , countenance ’s just say that Mykelti and L.L. Cool J have nothing in common .
For understanding that bunk me , the writer decided to throw in a hefty serving of stereotyping . We ’re given two different types of rednecks at the race caterpillar track , the obnoxious white-hot scum dirt bag with a cute daughter and the racist hell - bent on fire a cross in the front yard of the security safety gadget on whom he blames his wife ’s dying ; and to round out the southern stereotype , both redneck work in the self-propelling manufacture , one is a usance car mechanic and the other drive a tow hand truck and drink beer .
The girls in the motion-picture show are drab and unimportant and for the most part written as overly aroused and illogical . I would have preferred to just see them off early on on and been done with it ; and the " hero , " if you will , did n’t take hold of my attention once . Then we get the obnoxious , wench chasing , frat hombre who cares more about getting laid than anything or anyone else around him . His scene at the puddle has a sizeable dosage of female nudeness so parents mind if you still for some eccentric reason ( too tacky to pop for a baby-sitter ? ) consider bringing your young kids to this moving-picture show .
- TANGENT * Folks I am by no agency telling you how to be parents but I promise you this is not a film for kids - teensmaybe , but no way should children see this . I say that because a woman , who I assume was the " cool mom , " walked in with children ranging from 15 down to 8 long time old ! I ’m surprised she did n’t just pass around a Jack Daniels bottle and a doobie . * END TANGENT *

What I like most about the first two films was the set up for each death ; here , though , nothing act . WhereFinal Destination1 and 2 used intricate Rube Goldberg - like set ups that kept you watching to see how the death would actually occur , The Final Destinationjust puts each person that die is put into a ridiculous post with unlikely , if not impossible , circumstances to make their decease occur .
If you have watched the lagger , then you have find out most of the death scenes in this flick , except for a couplet which I wo n’t give away . I know the writers thought they were being original with some of the destruction scenes here but really all they did was stretch the imagination , and my solitaire , to make them happen .

The Final Destination, directed by David R. Ellis, is the fourth installment in the Final Destination franchise. Released in 2009, the film follows a group of friends who manage to escape a catastrophic accident at a racetrack, only to find themselves pursued by an inexorable force of fate. Starring Bobby Campo, Shantel VanSanten, and Nick Zano, the movie explores themes of predestination and the inescapability of death.
at long last , I have to talk about the abysmal special effects in this picture show - and I ’m not talking about the 3D. I fear that Hollywood may be leaning so heavily on the CG crutch that we are slowly lose the artisans in the field of tangible , mechanically skillful special effects . The work here is downright sad and everyone on the special consequence squad should be very displeased , if not embarrassed , with their work . Anything that is n’t CGI just looks like amateur blood effects using burger inwardness and pig ’s venter . That does n’t entail the CGI was any dependable though . It used to be that the CGI visual artists would try and fuse the CGI seamlessly into the moving-picture show so that we think it was really part of the setting . Not so anymore , it ’s blatant CGI and they recognise that we know they be intimate we know and they do n’t seem to care . ( Kid-3 Paul-0 )
Touching on the 3D one more meter , there is a shot in the movie where Lori ( Shantel VanSanten ) tries to convince her swain Nick ( Bobby Campo ) to watch a movie call " Love Lays Dead . " " I do n’t desire to see a movie , " he says . " Oh add up on , it ’s in 3D , " she emphatically answers . " Nah , " he replies , " Sounds like a chick motion picture . " Then we get to see some of this 3D movie within a 3D picture show and it has race gondola in it . I ’m say you powerful now that it wo n’t be long before we get a 3D romance film . Also , everyone in the theater watching " Love Lays Dead " would angle back together each time some pry out of the screen . I ’ve seen gobs of 3D films and no one ever does that - EVER !
With the choices out there this weekend , there is small dubiousness thatThe Final Destinationwill be on top of the box place amount Monday but do n’t let those numbers racket put one over you . This cinema is the weakest of the serial and hopefully we ’ve come across the last of " teens " getting wham in stupid ways . So if you have a few bucks to pour down and metre that you just utterly do not require to expend sagely , then go ahead and blow 80 hour of your life on this film - or just relieve your money and wait forGamerin a next week . Now if you ’ll rationalize me , I want more frappe .
