Final Destination 1 - 3 Box Set [2000]

Customer Reviews:

amazing.......2007-02-25

these films are so cool. its kind of like a teen slasher, but not really. the way it works is awesome and the whole premonision thing is a really good idea. unlike any film i've ever watched, but not in a bad way. i thought the third one kind of let it down a bit, but you have a special version where you can decide whether the victims live or die which is quite cool.

That Death Geezer is one scary guy!!!!.......2007-02-16

I love my FD box set! Theres a lot of teen horror movies out there but no matter how many times I watch these films, I still get an eerie sinister feeling about me every time! It is a very weird concept to think about all this death having a design lark! It definately gives you the creeps!

The accident scenes are very intriquately thought out and keep you guessing what is actually going to occur until the second it actually happens! It kind of amuses me that they really go for the gore factor in this film and everytime anybody dies, every bystander within a half mile radius gets a good spattering with blood!

My favourites are the first film and third film and a special mention should go to Tony Todd's appearances as the creepy coroner!!!

Original and amazing!!.......2007-01-10

The final destination series is probably the most watched DVD's out of all my DVD's. The first one was great because it was different and I had never seen anything like it before. It really does make you question the theory, can you cheat death?

Premonitions do interest me because they are predicitons of future events. I believe that what makes the film, the fact that it could happen. It's a horror film not about some invincible killer that is never going to exist but something more believable.

There are some talented actors and actresses in the films which help create the suspense, Devon Sawa, Alit Larter and A.J Cook to name a few. All in all a great set of films for anyone who likes suspense.

Best series ever.......2006-11-05

I wasn't going to write a review of the Final Destination movies because they are so good I worried that my review may not be able to do them justice but when I discovered that the overall rating for this box set was just 3 and a half stars (a rediculously low rating) I decided that I'd better try.

The Final Destination movies are by far my favourite movies (horror or not) EVER and I hope the series gets the endless number of sequels that it deserves.

Final Destination: Alex has a horrible premontion that the airplane he and his classmates sre boarding for French trip is going to crash. He freaks out on the airplane and he and five other people (four students and a teacher) are forcible removed from the airplane. The airplane does crash exactly as seen in Alex's premonition and so it seems that the lucky friends have cheated death. All goes well for the next 39 days until the night after the funeral of the victims of the aircrash and one of the survivors dies in a freak accident.

At first it seems as though the accident was a suicide, but then the other survivors also start to die in bizzare accidents and Alex and his friends must figure out deaths design - and cheat it again - before the grim reaper takes their lives.

Final Destinations 2 involves a girl having a premontion of a major car pile-up on a highway and pulls her car across the road preventing the aciident. The rest of the story is similar to number one but it is gorier and has a higher body-count while still managing to maintain those wonderfully imaginitive deaths, or "accidents".

The last survivor of the flight 180 disaster from the first movie (i wont spoil it by saying who) is in a mental institution but agrees to help the survivors of the car pile-up defeat death once and for all.

Final Destination 3: This time the premontition is of a rollercoaster disaster. Yes, the basic storyline is the same in all 3 movies but not enough for them to get boring. In this movie there is a great ammount of suspence as we do not know who is going to die next and this movie is a lot scarier than the prequels as well as gorier.

The deaths in the movies are scary and very suspenceful (and sometimes deliver shocks that make you gasp out loud). The storyline does not get boring and, in fact, (because of new twists, etc in each movie) improves with each addition to the series. This is absolutley the best series of movie ever. The movies are better than I make them sound but I'm not a skilled enough reviewer to do them justice.

I would recomend this series (or any of the individual movies) to anybody and if you've read this review and have still not decided whether or not to buy/watch than please at least buy or rent the first Final Destination and give it a chance. I guarantee you will not regret it if you do.

guilty pleasures #2.......2006-08-10

so by now you know the story - you can avoid taxes but death is that little bit more persistent. three people have a premonition (plane crash, pile up and fairgorund catastrophy) and soon they and the people they inadvertantly save begin to die in any number of unusual, unpleasant and creative ways as the grim reaper starts to take it personal.
the first film (a surprise hit if i remember correctly) starts the ball rolling. imo this film is slightly slower paced than the other two and drags a bit at times, even if it does remain watchable
fd2 sees the makes up the ante. first of all with a superbly orchestrated car crash, then with the deaths, becoming more and more outlandish
perhaps because there's less exposition than the first film the sequels seem to move more smoothly. there's also a sly undercurrent of humour, or at least a degree of irony to some of the deaths. a personal highlight was the two 'whatever' chicks in fd3 going for a tan and, like the irish in the sun, getting burnt.
get the feeling that this is one that could run and run, though i bet prospective writers for fd4 are cursing the ending of fd3. good idea...
