There is a plan of leaving this mortal coil in a specific order and you dare not disrupt the order.Īfter which the rest start dropping in a series of bizarre situations and this has been the secret of the success of Final Destination and its sequels. They count themselves lucky at first, but then some mysterious force best articulated by Tony Todd says that Death is a character like any other and it's got a mean disposition. They all see in real life exactly what Sawa saw in his vision and they count themselves horrified at seeing friends and classmates die in a spectacular way as the plane exploded. When young Devon Sawa has a creepy premonition and gets himself thrown off a plane bound for Paris in a class trip, a few others of his classmates and one teacher get thrown off with him.

But for what it's worth, it was the beginning, and it remains a fun watch despite the slew of even more over-the-top installments that followed it. As much praise as I have to offer the movie, it still has its many flaws and even silly moments. There's some subtle humor, some drama, and some creativity to be had. Others satisfy, too, from Sean William Scott to Kerr Smith. Meanwhile the characters, in my opinion, are the best the series has had to offer, particularly thanks to Devon Sawa, and the personality he elicits in Alex Browning. Aside from one decapitation, not much gore.
The plane scene is chaotic and how it culminates, very intense. The death scenes are in ways subtle and clever, sometimes drawn out to exacerbate tension, while others are arguably very predictable, but nonetheless thrilling. Yet in this one, none of those really apply. The one that started it all: a franchise of over-the-top "action," outrageous gore, and characters you often couldn't care less about.
