Death is back again in this fifth installment in the Final Destination series and death is back in a darker and sinister way. I watched this film back in August 2011 with my parents and when I walked out of the theater I ended up being totally surprised and my first thoughts were wow! Big surprise and I would say that this is the best in the Final Destination series next to the original. This time the movie is directed by Steven Quale the protoge of James Cameron and written also by Nightmare On Elm Street remake writer Eric Heisserer. And these two created a marvellous and surprising Final Destination films that made me enjoy the first three films which is also missing during the embarrassing fourth film. The fans of the Final Destination films will be totally surprised when they watched this one. I watched this once at the cinema and it was so good and I watched again and again and again at home and it never bored me its totally the best in the Final Destination films and thanks to Quale and Heisserer they both managed to bring the Final Destination films back into its serious roots with a darker and scarier concept than Final Destination 3. For the most part this movie has all of the goodies it has all of the gore and suspense and people who love watching darker films will be so surprised with this movie because frankly the film itself is brooding and very dark from start to finish and it also has better 3D scenes than its terrible predecessor even the effects on this movie are way better than the weak CGI of its predecessor. Everyone will be surprised to watch this film and everything is realistic rather than fake like what the fourth film did.
I totally love this movie and there are loads of things that I like about this movie. One of the great things about this film is that the whole film has a strong and visually stunning opening scene and the opening scene of this movie is much more darker than the previous films opening scenes and the soundtrack is five times better this time and Brian Tyler managed to do something totally different with his work on the soundtrack of the film like his work in the fourth movie here in Final Destination 5 he managed to compose a dark and brooding soundtrack that gives the whole film a dark feel and I really love his style on the soundtrack and overall I ended up being satisfied with the soundtrack of the whole film and I just like it a lot. I also enjoy the opening scene where the Suspension bridge collapsed and the suspension bridge collapse is one of the best opening scenes in the Final Destination series next to the Highway pile up accident from Final Destination 2 and the bridge collapse scene is super gory and intense and I just love watching that scene a lot and overall it is the best opening scene out of all the opening scenes of the Final Destination films. And after the suspension bridge collapse we are introduced to a couple of characters who survived the accident. We got Sam Lawton played by Nicholas D' Agosto. Peter played by Miles Fischer. Molly Harper played by Emma Bell. Nathan played by Arlen Escarpeta and a couple more characters even the return of William Bludworth played once again by Tony Todd. All the characters are well developed in this film and their not shallow or paper thin like the characters in the fourth film. Here all of the characters are believable and I just love how the characters are well developed and their all great overall.
One of the other great things about this film is that the whole movie is full of dark tones and themes and this movie is darker than the first four Final Destination films. All of the dark tones are well used in this movie and I was fund of how the dark tones were played well in the film and it really fits well for this movie a lot and it gave the whole film a suspenceful and eerie feel and overall it was a smart idea for the filmmakers to do this style overall and I thoroughly enjoyed it a lot. One of the other great things that I like about this film is that the whole movie delivered some of the best death scenes in Horror history. Every single death scene in this film is creative and well made. There are loads of impressive and suspenceful death scenes in this film and I enjoyed watching every kill in this movie. The gymnastic sequence is one of the most brutal death scenes in the film. The acupuncture death scene is the goriest death scene in the whole film. The laser eye surgery is the most painful death scene in the film next to the Sun Tanning bed kill scene from Final Destination 3 and the Painful neck strangulation scene from the first film. The gruesome wrench scene is one of the most disturbing kills in the whole film and Roy's death is probably the most gruesome death in the whole movie. And overall all of the deaths were great in this film and they're not comedic as the kills in the fourth film. One of the other things I like about this film is that the whole movie is full of twists and turns. Who could ever thought that this movie is a prequel to the first film when the characters rode the plane from the original movie and the audience gets shocked when the characters in this film rode the plane from the original film which is Flight 180 and I love how the twist was used in this movie t really can shock the audience a lot and it was a smart idea overall.
One of the last things I like about this film is that the movie has an impressive montage in the last part. I just enjoy watching the last part of the film which shows a montage of clips from the first four movies with the sing by AC/DC playing in the background and the montage in the last part is so over the top and I just love how the montage played in the last part of the film and it was great enough to listen to that song and watching the last part of the film a lot and overall I love that idea a lot. Now the acting is great all of the casts did a really good job with their work in the film from Nicholas D' Agosto to Tony Todd and overall the casts did a good job with their work in the film so far. Director Steven Quale and Writer Eric Heisserer did a really good job with their work on the film and I'm so proud that these two did an amazing job with bringing the Final Destination movies back to its serious roots only with a darker feel and I hope that there will be a sixth film in the Final Destination series with Quale and Heisserer working together again. Overall Final Destination 5 is an impressive prequel to the series and it is the best in the Final Destination films next to the first film. This movie is one of 2011's best Horror films next to Fright Night and other Horror movies as well.
