A class of high school students chooses beautiful Paris as the destination for their school trip. To get there, the students must take Flight 180. But as soon as they board the aircraft, Alex Browning (Devon Sawa) falls asleep and has a premonition. The frightened young man catapults out of the plane and with him other boys.
As soon as the plane takes off, with the entire class on board plus about 200 other people, it explodes without leaving a chance for anyone.
Only the small group of boys and the teacher who came down together with Alex manage to save themselves, but it is far from over for them. Death has a definite plan in store that immediately begins to take shape.
The settings are good, and Shirley Walzer's music is also apt. The death sequences are fantastic, original, splattering, and almost over the top, but certainly not lapsing into ridicule.
The pacing of Final Destination is also good, neither too fast nor too slow, it is appropriate for a film of this genre.
The thriller, with screenplay by Glen Morgan, Jeffrey Reddick, James Wong and set design by John Willet, is successful and enjoys a decent sequel.
In fact, in my opinion, it is one of the best films released in recent years, which has many merits. One is definitely the story, which shows the viewer one of mankind's greatest fears: death, and how it cannot be escaped. By showing us this, the film is able to give us a remarkable sense of anxiety during and after the entire viewing.
Absolutely recommended.
