Review: Final Destination 3-D

Death’s Design in 3-D

Last night I watched the new Final Destination movie.  It had everything you’d expect; people brutally murdered in a slightly humorous, over-the-top way.  If you’ve ever played Mortal Kombat, you’ll remember when the fatalities started to get ridiculous.  That’s where this version of Final Destination is.  It’s not necessarily a bad thing.  The best part, it’s in 3-D.

If you haven’t been to a 3-D movie in awhile, you’re really missing out.  This isn’t the old red-and-cyan-paper-glasses-that-gives-you-a-headache technology.  The glasses are clear and the images really come out of the screen.  The attention to detail is really impressive.  I mean, they nailed it.  If you have any interest in seeing this movie, see it in the theater.  Don’t read the reviews, don’t listen to the negative comments.  If you’ve enjoyed the previous Final Destination movies, you will not be disappointed.

3-D movies are making a comeback and if they’re as entertaining as FD 3-D was,  then I’m all for it.  You will not get the same experience watching this movie on DVD or Blu-Ray.  Hollywood is starting to figure out how to get me to spend money at the theater again, and we both win.

Yeah, the ticket might cost between $10 and $15, but there were plenty of moments that made it worth my Washingtons.
