"The Final Destination" is the fourth (and supposedly last...we'll see) movie in the fun-filled, blood and gore filled "Final Destination" franchise. These movies are all pretty dumb (alright that is actually a huge understatement...but I did see the first 2 before seeing this one) and follow the exact same plot structure: a teenager has a premonition about a disaster that's going to occur (this one has a massive wreck at a race track). He then saves a handful of people from being destroyed. The people that survived then start to die in the order they were sitting at the race track. The young people try and break the chain of death by saving people from their supposed fate...which really does not end well for anyone and tons of people are killed in unbelievably violent (and really unlucky) ways that result in lots of blood and sometimes impalements or being crushed. Man, I pretty much just ruined the movie for everyone....oh well. There is so much gasoline in this movie that it's ridiculous...so of course that leads to even more deaths. Um...the acting is awful the script is awful. There really are no redeeming qualities - except the deaths were kinda entertaining...I did laugh at most of them. This one is exactly the same as the first 3...just so much worse because the plot is just milked for absolutely all it's worth. And having more people die in this one than in the other three really doesn't help. With that being said Michael Bay managed to make a worse movie. By the end of "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" I felt like I had been metaphorically violated many times. At least "The Final Destination" was only 82 minutes...but my IQ must have dropped at least a little after watching it.-Joseph Sbrilli
