Movie Review: A thrilling scarefeast that hits High-Def!
Summary: 5 Stars

High school student Alex Browning (Devon Sawa) is heading on a high school graduation trip but he somehow has a mysterious psychic gift as he predicts that the plane will be destroyed. It scares some of his pals so much that they leave the plane and it finally came true, the survivors like his friend Tod (Chad Donella), teacher Ms Valerie Lewton (Kristen Cloke), his rival Carter (Kerr Smith) with girlfriend Terry (Amanda Detmer) and Billy Hitchcock (Seann William Scott) are scared of him because of his gift. It seems that the grim reaper himself known as Death wants to collect their souls and Alex gets advice from a coroner named Bludworth (Tony Todd) who knows about death itself and it can be cheated but it seems some of Alex's friends are getting offed one by bloody one as he must try to survive.

A thrilling and bloody rollercoaster of a horror suspense thriller! this is the best movie out of the post-Scream era and launched one of the most shocking horror franchises in recent memory besides the Saw franchise. Writer/producer/director James Wong ("The X-Files" writer fame) with producer Glen Morgen has crafted a well made and very scary movie that takes you over the edge and right for the jugulear at times even with it's horrific gore. I also like how this approaches with a modernize version of the Stephen King book "The Dead Zone" with a little of "Scream" but without being ironic or comical. The acting is very good and the thrills never disappoint including the accident scenes, this movie is one of the best and most original horror movies of the new millenium and it's sequels are worth a look too.

This Blu-Ray bring the movie to incredible picture and sound quality like never before with great extras like audio commentaries, isolated score with commentary by Shirly Walker the composer, additional scenes with alternate ending, 2 documentaries, a featurette and trailer.

Summary of Final Destination [Blu-ray]

After an eerie premonition leads a handful of passengers to disembark an ill-fated flight, Death with all its ingenious contraptions of doom at the ready stalks those survivors (Devon Sawa, Ali Larter, Kerr Smith and more) one by one in the gory, gleeful shocker that launched the fright-filled film series. Final Destination: the start of it all!

While hardly a spiritual upgrade of the slasher film, this high-concept teen body-count thriller drops hints of The Sixth Sense into the smart-aleck sensibility of Scream. Helmed by X-Files veteran James Wong, who cowrote the screenplay with longtime creative partner Glen Morgan, Final Destination is an often entertaining thriller marked by an unsettling sense of unease and scenes of eerie imagery. It suffers, however, from a schizophrenic tone and a frankly ludicrous premise. A high school Cassandra, Alex Browning (Devon Sawa of Idle Hands), wakes from a preflight nightmare and panics when he's convinced the plane is doomed. His ruckus bumps seven passengers from the Paris-bound plane, which immediately explodes into a fireball on takeoff, but fate hasn't finished with these lucky few and, one by one, death claims them. Wong brings such a funereal tone to these early scenes of survivor's guilt and inevitable doom that the already far-fetched film threatens to veer into unplanned absurdity. Thankfully, the tale loosens up with a playful morgue humor: one of the victims winds up the splattered punch line to a grim joke and elaborate Rube Goldbergesque chains of cause and effect become inspired spectacles of destruction. Final Destination is a pretty silly thriller when it takes itself seriously, and the filmmakers play fast and loose with their own rules of fate, but once they stick their tongues firmly in cheek, the film takes off with a screwy interpretation of the domino effect of doom. --Sean Axmaker
