FINAL DESTINATION 5 3D

In Final Destination 5 (Fivel Destination?) once again, a group of cocksure teenage friends learn the consequences of cheating death, and I can’t wait!  You already know that this series is nothing but fun kills, but did you know that this Alamo Drafthouse preshow will bring you up to speed on all the best deaths from the franchise thus far and much more!  Seriously, don’t even think about seeing this at another theatre. 

The past 4 movies have all been uber-entertaining in their clever and fun ways that the deaths are achieved, especially compared to harder to watch series like Saw.  These are so damn fun because the filmmakers have their tongue in their cheek every step of the way.  It is not torture porn, it’s just elaborate set ups with sweet, sweet payoffs.  That, and the movies teach some serious parables.  For instance, after seeing Final Destination 2,  I now know to never, ever drive anywhere near a huge logging truck. 

Final Destination 5 promises eye surgery equipment going haywire, a balance beam with hidden sharp objects, an entire bridge collapsing, and the highlight from the trailer that I am perhaps most excited about – a crazy looking acupuncture scene.  It’s all in the good name of fate and fun.  (John Gross)
