Fear Is Rising. This Ride Will Be The Death Of You.
On what should be one of the happiest days of her life, high school senior Wendy joins her friends for a graduation night celebration at a local amusement park. As they're about to board a roller coaster, Wendy is suddenly spooked. Her boyfriend Jason reassures her that it's merely the act of relinquishing control that's giving her the jitters. Wendy overcomes her fear, but no sooner has the pneumatic harness descended, securing her in her seat, than Wendy experiences a vivid premonition of a fatal accident in which the roller coaster becomes a death trap for her and her friends.

Quite sadly, they did make a 3rd movie, and followed it up with two more. But it's not about those, it's about this one. It goes along the same path as the first two. Person has horrible vision, person manages to save about a dozen people, the people saved start dying horrific deaths whilst person #1 tries to stop the hand of death before it is too late for them.
There is nothing new in this movie, that wasn't done in the first two, the only difference is the mode of death and the fact that they decided to just get bloodier and gorier. Not the best movie, but I guess if there's nothing else on TV I will watch it again.
This, clearly, is a third installment in the 'Final Destination' franchise, and hopefully, the directors will not try to milk it for a fourth and fifth.
The film itself was thoroughly predictable and the plot was pointless. However, where the film does come into its own is 'create your own movie' track on the first disk.
Control does seem a little limited at times, when at key points you can make one of two choices. In more than one area, the outcome is not affected; however, it may have had an unnoticed effect elsewhere in the movie.
The directors commentary is comprehensive, and explains how parts of the movie were made and highlighting where special effects were used. Where the special effects were used, they are extremely well done. The gore scenes are particularly well filmed and the effects were just stunning.
To me, the features on the second disk are more attractive than the main show, but that is just my opinion alone. To the fans of gore movies (one could hardly call it horror), then this will be a must in their collection.

Random listing from 'Movies'...
With the General Lee tanked up for a car-crashin' action and with more laughs than a dog has fleas, this big-screen version of the long-running TV series is big-time fun.
Johnny Knoxville, Seann Willian Scott, Jessica Simpson, Burt Reynolds, Willie Nelson and more help keep the pedal to the metal for 100MPH laughs. Stars, comedy, spills and thrills - The Dukes of Hazzard's got it all, y'all!
