although i don't like to admit...
but for quite some time...
i have been a fan of scary movies and thrillers...
and i particularly like to watch movies such as the Final Destination series and slasher flicks because they are alot less scary and...
kind of fun...
i always thought these movies are good to watch with a group of friends...
like a gathering or party...
nothing to intense...
just some scares and gore...
having like the original Final Destination...
and to a certain extend the 2 follow ups...
i actually wanted to watch this when it started screening...
plus this is the first time i am watching a 3D movie...
so i was kind of excited...
of course having been deprived of movie junk food earlier with Moon...
knowing that i will watch this with hotdogs and wedges helped too...
but 5 minutes into the movie...
i was beginning to feel disappointed...
i have to admit when the first object flew from the screen towards me...
it made me fringe...
and i thought it was kind of cool...
but soon the novelty begins to wear off...
plus the 3D effect caused considerable strain on my eyes...
maybe i was not used to it...
but more often than not...
i can see that my friends and i are lifting the 3D glasses to give our eyes a breather...
the 3D part aside...
the movie in itself is quite bad...
maybe cursed as i am as being an engineer...
most of the gore appears to be created from impossible situations...
and maybe the whole escaping from death and trying to avoid the next one idea is starting to run a little thin...
this time round...
the lead character has the ability to fore-told how the death would come about...
but the movie did very little in this area...
instead of the outwitting death by knowing what would happen scenario i thought it would be...
the movie is pretty much the same as the earlier ones...
it does not seem to matter whether the lead has any premonition or not...
worse still... the keep-u-guessing-which-would-be-the-fatal blow part is gone...
because u have seen the premonitions...
most of the time u already know how it would end...
and that takes away any suspense or surprises...
this is the first time that at an apparent end 1 hour into the movie...
i really wished that it was in fact the end...
this is the worst Final Destination in the franchise...
if u are into gory movies...
this would offer that in abundance...
but in almost ridiculous fashion...
the human body appears so fragile that anything would breaks it into a pile of blood and organs...
instead of watching it...
i may as well stay home and smash tomatoes with a club to get the same effect...
as bad as the movie is...
i would rate it a 2...
because i still think it would be fun watching at a party or gathering...
a bunch of people not thinking...
not expecting anything serious...
just mucking around...
that would be a better setting for this...
