  •      The Final Destination [Blu-ray 3D]
              Although hardly a spiritual update of the slasher film, this high-concept teen body-count thriller drops hints of The Sixth Sense in the Smart-Aleck sensibility of Scream. X-Files helmed by veteran James Wong, who cowrote the screenplay with longtime creative partner Glen Morgan, Final Destination is an often entertaining thriller marked by an unsettling sense of unease and scenes of disturbing images. It suffers, however, from a schizophrenic tone and a frankly ludicrous premise. A high school Cassandra, Alex Browning (Devon Sawa of Idle Hands), wakes from a preflight nightmare and panics when he believes the plane is doomed to fail. His shots stink seven passengers from the plane Paris-bound, now exploding in a fireball on takeoff, but fate has not finished with these lucky few and, one by one, death claims them. Wong is a funereal tone to these early scenes of survivor guilt and inevitable doom that the already far-fetched film threatens to veer into unplanned absurdity. Fortunately, the tale loosens up with a playful morgue humor: one of the victims runs the splattered punch line to a grim joke and elaborate Goldbergesque Rube chains of cause and effect become inspired spectacles of destruction. Final Destination is a pretty silly thriller when taken seriously, and the filmmakers play fast and loose with their own rules of fate, but once they stick their tongues firmly in cheeks, the film takes off with a screwy interpretation of the domino effect Doom.
