Synopsis: In Final Destination 5, Death is just as omnipresent as ever, and is unleashed after one man's premonition saves a group of coworkers from a terrifying suspension bridge collapse. But this group of unsuspecting souls was never supposed to survive, and, in a terrifying race against time, the ill-fated group frantically tries to discover a way to escape Death's sinister agenda.
Review: Final Destination 5 is, in my opinion, the 2nd best in the franchise thus far. Hands down better than than the 4th, and rivals the 2nd in terms of the opening death sequence. There were many moments of comedic relief, and a new twist in how one can "cheat" death. Probably the most outlandish death scene, which is coincidentally the most anxiety-inducing one, is the gymnast scene. Different possible death scenarios were presented, so you weren't really sure how she was going to die. But, when she did, it was very unrealistic. Overall, the death scenes were quite good and creative, which is what I love so much about the franchise. While FD2 had the most creative kills IMO, aside from the tanning bed scene in FD3 (definitely in the Top 3 FD kills of all time), FD5 had THE BEST ending of all. The twist at the end was highly unexpected and totally satisfying to long-time Final Destination fans.
