The Final Destination (2009) 1/2 of * out of *****
Director: David R. Ellis
Writer: Eric Bress is to blame.
Cast: Justin Welborn ("The Signal"), um...fuck the rest of 'em.
A group of insanely unlikable characters avoid a horribly rendered CGI death (via NASCAR no less), just to follow the same formula the franchise has been following since the first film. There's absolutely nothing new or interesting here. Honestly, the most creative thing this sequel has to offer is the opening credit sequence.
The only reason I gave any thought to viewing this picture is the same reason I was gracious enough to give it one star...David R. Ellis directed ("Final Destination II" is a guilty pleasure of mine), and Justin Welborn was featured among the cast.
Honestly, I didn't even finish this pathetic excuse that passes itself off as some form of entertainment. I hit the 30 minute mark, and decided, nope, I'd rather watch a corpse continue to slowly rot, than waste any kind of focus or effort seeing where the lot of these douche bags decide to go with their selfishly disturbing attempts at self preservation.
It's obvious that audiences only continually flock to see these movies for the "inventive death sequences" the franchise offers (which aren't even consistently laughable or gruesome here), instead it's a reliance on some of the worst 3D manipulated CG effects I've seen since my days in a quarter arcade.
Seriously, please don't ever consider watching this atrocity.
