Though my expectations were at an all time low, Final Destination 5 delivered everything you’d expect. Creative deaths, a fast pace, and an overall entertaining theater going experience. Its main fault was sticking way too close to the same formula, and switching it up too late in the game, but it was still one helluva fun ride, and far better than it had any right to be.
It’s no secret that the Final Destination franchise hit quite the rough patch two years ago with the fourth outing. To say it was a disappointment is an understatement.
