I AM SICK OF COMPUTER GENERATED EFFECTS. There. That's what you'll be thinking while you're watching this latest installment in the franchise. I quite like the final destination movies to be honest...attractive people escaping a intro setpiece of extreme carnage only to be killed off later in hilariously outlandish and often very bloody ways while generic rock bands get their 20 seconds of glory on the soundtrack. But by Death's hairy balls this latest one tested my childlike patience. You know exactly what to expect here but WHAT is going on with the ropy After Effects deaths?
If my absolute suspension of disbelief is being sorely tested by bad acting and witless dialogue and a loopy plot then give me good effects and the realistic demise of cardboard characters! Meh. There is a good homage to Chuck Palaniuks infamous short story "Guts" with a pool-related arse-vaccuum sequence but maybe I'm giving the screenwriters a little too much literary credit there.
