The death plan cannot be circumvented After watching the "Final Destination", I was really afraid of everything around me, realizing that every object in the apartment, entrance, on the street or somewhere else poses a serious danger to my life and the life of others. I was impressed. "Final Destination" has become an amazing discovery, a fresh idea on the market, a discovery for the horror genre. In general, the time of the 80-90s in the horror section was entirely given to maniacs. They were remembered, films acquired endless sequels, but the theme remained the same — a homicidal maniac who goes through all obstacles to his next victim. Involuntarily, two questions arose: "Who is the next victim?" and "Who is the killer?". So "Final Destination" went a completely different way, forcing viewers to ask a new question: "How will the next character die?" And this is a winning decision of the creators, which really brought freshness to the horror, and at the same time showed cruelty from the point of view of real everyday death and without any antagonist. Although some believed that Death itself decided to hunt for those who unexpectedly deceived her before. The acting team is not very famous. By the time I watched it, somewhere in the early 2000s, I only knew Sean William Scott from his Stifler from "American Pie". Here the guy played a different role, but, in my opinion, it was impossible for him to fully open up here, and the role of the joker from another movie somehow hung in the air. Two main characters were very memorable: Devon Savva and Eli Larter. They perfectly showed what horror takes hold of a person when there are no suspects even, and Death is on your heels. Comparing myself with them, I was imbued with the hopelessness that they demonstrate on the screen. They do not turn into humble "waiting" for their end. No. They are fighting for life. It's just that their facial expressions are very memorable when the guys realize that no one will believe them, and they are essentially doomed, despite all their attempts to escape. There is also a great cameo by Tony Todd in the film. The actor looks very frightening and insightful in the frame. The musical accompaniment is not particularly memorable, but visually the picture is just beautiful. It was a time when computer special effects were gaining convincing popularity due to the availability of beautiful pictures. And here they were applied with due necessity. Unless of course I'm mistaken, and it really was computer special effects. Nevertheless, each frame with the death of people looked very convincing. Physics is great. Usually someone can fall dramatically and die or something like that. Here everything is presented to the viewer without embellishment and unnecessary conversations. Once there is no person, and you only have time to gasp, realizing that something irreparable has happened for the hero. The opening scene on the plane is especially memorable. I still remember how I squeezed the arm of the chair until my knuckles turned white. A truly terrifying scene. There are also outright distortions of reality in terms of the explosion of some objects that cannot explode in such a situation, but this does not spoil the situation at all. Everything is in place. As a result, a great movie, a fresh plot, good acting, an atmospheric picture, a penetrating plot that is memorable. Great movie. 10 out of 10
