The only aspect that sets The Final Destination apart from its predecessors is the 3-D effects.<\/p>\n<p>The story is reminiscent of the original version of Final Destination, made in 2000, only instead of an airport, the action begins at a raceway, where the main character of the film, Nick O&#8217;Bannon, has a premonition of a grisly accident at the racetrack.<\/p>\n<p>After he saves some folks from their deaths, they believe they have &#8220;cheated&#8221; &#8220;death&#8221;, but before long, fate has other plans for them.<\/p>\n<p>Some fun kills include decapitation by a flying tire, a sharp rock emitted from a lawnmower, a crushing tub, and a speeding ambulance.<\/p>\n<p>The novel concept of the film, originally fresh and unique, has become to be expected and rather redundant. The fun part is the creative kills.<\/p>\n<p>The film is the perfect movie to sit back, relax, have fun, see some interesting deaths, and be entertained by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Final Destination-2009 Director David R.
