In the original "Final Destination" film, Devon Sawa has a vision or premonition just before he and some friends are about to board a plane for a school trip. A moment after failing to board the airplane, the jet explodes, killing the rest of his classmates and many teachers who were unfortunate enough to be aboard the airliner. Very soon after enduring the trauma of watching all of their classmates die right before their eyes, the survivors start dying one by one in strange ways. At the end, actress Ali Larter ("Heroes") is the sole survivor, only to be killed off in the sequel. All the movies in the "Final Destination" franchise have pretty much the same formula: To wit, a tragedy occurs to several mostly young people. The survivors just missed tragically dying themselves. And, when those who endured start dying one by one some or all of them come to suspect that they can't cheat death. In other words, if they narrowly escaped death they are bound to meet their demise very soon afterwards.
The second "Final Destination" movie took place at an amusement park when a rollercoaster kills a bunch of riders. The third "Final Destination" Film takes place on a subway where a train kills a lot of riders. In the latest: "Final Destination" in 3-D, at the McKinley Raceway, a young college-aged man has a vision of a serious crash of a stock car crash which ends up killing fifty-two some-odd spectators. The young man flips out and his actions result in a number of people being saved. But, as in all "Final Destination" films, the survivors soon start dying off one at a time. In this movie, you see debris from the crash and blood and body parts in 3-d. I jumped at least once. If you enjoyed "Saw" or the other "Final Destination" movies you will likely also enjoy this one, especially if you see the movie in three dimensions. Be aware, there is nudity, profanity and a sex scene. Also, when people die they die in the worst ways imaginable.
