Final Destination 3 was pretty bad.
In this installment, Mary Elizabeth Winstead is about to embark on a roller coaster ride, and just before the ride starts she has a vision of the accident that would kill everybody on it. After she throws a bitch-fit like I've never seen, she manages to get out -- with a few other people. The accident happens as she predicted, killing everybody who remained on the roller coaster. Next thing you know, Death is out to take care of the people who got off the ride. I must admit the freak accidents were usually pretty ingenious, and gory.
Mary and Ryan Merriman, who also escaped the roller coaster wreck, spend their days trying to protect themselves and the other people who escaped the hell ride. The pictures Mary took at the amusement park are supposed to help the two saviors predict how the others will die...
The first Final Destination was pretty good, Final Destination 2 was mediocre, but this one sucked. To make matters worse, this third installment had no hotties (except for Texas Battle, who barely showed up, and two hot chicks who display their silicone boobs). I will not bother with a 4th installment.
We had two bits of bad light for us gays. In the first scene, Ryan asks Mary (who holds the pictures that can predict the future) whether his death will involve an embarrassing situation, like a death with something up his butt. Not too nice. Having something up your butt should not really be embarrassing (although I agree that, in public, anything up your butt, gay or straight, can be embarrassing).
Then, later, at a high school gym, Mary and Ryan are trying to save this guy, and another guy training at the gym calls the players in the rival high school "Bruin faggots." That was bad, particularly in a movie so geared towards young straight guys. Like, it's still okay to curse using a homophobic slur.
At least you get the chance to eliminate that homophobic slur in the DVD. The DVD gives you a chance to choose the fate of a few of the characters. The feature was pretty cool, but I don't know if you should spend even more time with this piece of crap. Anyway, if you do take the "choose their fate" option on the DVD menu, you will be asked at some point whether Mary should take a further look into her creepy death-predicting pictures -- if you choose yes, the guy they are supposed to save at the gym dies faster, much faster, and the other guy training does not get enough screen time to utter the homophobic slur. Take that, sucker.
Shame on James Wong and Glen Morgan, the "writers."
That was from hunk Christopher Watters, who played Major Victory, a lactose intolerant superhero, former stripper and disc jockey in Sci-Fi's reality show Who Wants To Be a Superhero?
