The first official plot synopsis for Final Destination 5 has been released and....it reads exactly like the last four flicks. I'm beginning to think they just pulled the same press release from last year's file drawer and faxed it to all the major news outlets. Get this: Death is back and killing kids who survived a catastrophic disaster. Oooohhhh.....
In this fifth installment, 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. The new victims of Death’s plan are part of a cast led by Emma Bell (Frozen, TV’s “The Walking Dead”) and Nick D’Agosto (Fired Up!, TV’s “Heroes”). The film is being shot on location in Vancouver, Canada. The second of the “Final Destination” films to be shot in 3-D, Final Destination 5 is being directed by Steve Quale, marking his major feature film directorial debut.
The last three Destination films have been one big excuse to show a massive, catastrophic disaster surrounded by 80 minutes of the same old crap. This time it's a suspension bridge. If they do another one(and they will) it'll be a roller coaster. Wha? They already did that? They're all starting to bleed together in my mind now.
Death unveils his horribly redundant plan on August 26th, 2011.
