I really, really enjoyed this film. It is 3D, but we saw it in 2D. We may go back and see in 3D. I love the ingenious ways of killing people. This time it starts in a motor speedway where there are racing cars. There is a group of four, one happy couple and one jerk and his girlfriend who is quite nice. One of the guys gets a premonition of the deaths, and herds his friends and others out of the speedway just before the worse happens. People then start dying - the most funny of which is the redneck racist who decides that the black security guard is to blame for him not being able to go back in and getting his wife. He drives up to the security guard's house intending on putting a burning cross on his lawn, plus do other things. The radio comes on and plays "Why Can't We Be Friends". We were laughing hysterically at his death as I was at the stupid guy's death.
The movie is very short, less than 90 minutes and will not take up much of your life and you will not think about it much afterwards, and there are nods to the other films, but as a B movie that doesn't really have an ounce of fat in it, except for a few Vantage Point moments in it which helped the movie not be just an hour (82 minutes in total).
If you like the other Final Destination movies, see it. My favourite is still the first one for the sheer surprise when the plane exploded and the girl was hit by the bus.
