I was a huge fan of the first two Final Destination films in the series, but it’s fair to say that the level of creative deaths and general fear of death in the franchise has dropped significantly sequel after sequel.
Now we have Final Destination 5, which unfortunately looks to follow this same pattern, and although we will get to see people survive a bridge collapse this time round, as well as people dying during acupuncture and laser eye treatment, the overall story and acting in the film looks like it will be even blander then the fourth one.
The films were a good idea when they were new and fresh but all these sequels are just killing the franchise, and admittedly I do still want to see the deaths in Final Destination 5, but I’m not sure how much more films of the same story but with different deaths I’ll be willing to watch.
Check out the trailer below and let me know what you think of the franchise by commenting below. The film is due for a release on 26th August 2011.
