The Final Destination, also known as Final Destination 4 is the fourth movie in the Final Destination series. It is also the first Final Destination movie that was shot in HD 3-D.
SPOILER WARNING: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Andrew Fiscella, Shantel VanSanten and Bobby Campo in "The Final Destination"
Unlike its prequels, The Final Destination has a promising start with Nick O’Bannon (Bobby Campo) having a premonition on the freak accidents that’s bound to kill everyone in a racetrack stadium known as McKinley Speedway. While he manages to save his friends along with a few other spectators who follow Nick, the remaining people in McKinley Speedway are killed.
While Nick’s friends are glad they are alive, Nick keeps having premonition that shows him clues on how the next person is going to die. And from there on, the movie gets stale and predictable. Though it’s exciting to watch how people are killed, the movie becomes unoriginal by borrowing the way the victims die from the previous films as Death comes to collect the remaining survivors.
Perhaps, with the movie intentionally made for 3-D, the script is somehow largely ignored and the storyline becomes boring and predictable.
Overall, The Final Destination is the lousiest film among all Final Destination movies and it can be well the worst film of 2009.
My ratings: 3 out of 10.
Popularity: 1%

I definitely wont bother to make an effort to get to watch The Final Destination 4 then. Very few movies seem to be able to carry the neverending string of sequels patched onto the spine of an original epic movie.
I rather enjoyed the first 3 movies in this sequel, despite their cheesiness. It is too bad that they neglected the script to focus more on creating cool 3D effects. Still I might still check it out once it comes out on DVD. I definitely wouldn’t pay to see this in the theatres.
