Score: 8 out of 10 Packaging and Extras Less than an hour's worth of special features may be what makes The Final Destination more of Netflix rental than a must-own Blu for audiences. The music is about as subtle as a lawnmower blade to the skull, but at least it sounds purdy and clear. Dialogue is loud and clear from the center channels. Fidelity is solid, and the mix offers a wide sound field when atmospheric effects are involved in the various death scenes.

The firey speedway opening is enough to rattle the windows and irk the neighbors, but most likely horror fans will like the overdone elements of this mix. The DTS-MA mix is the preferred listening experience, one that relies too much on the subwoofer and jump scares. 3D Version Score: 5 out of 10 2D Version Score: 8 out of 10 Aggregate Score: 7 out of 10 Languages and Audio Loud and borderline obnoxious best describes the DTS-HD Master Audio track, which is joined by a Dolby Digital 5.1 mix. Grain and noise are practically nonexistent, and contrast is surprisingly solid given the subject matter. Color levels are strong and flesh tones are very natural in this Blu-ray transfer. Which is why it's good that a 2D version is also included in this release, one that has a sharper image quality than anything the cereal box 3D glasses offer. And they can get uncomfortable after a while. While the picture has depth and a dimensionality to it, the colors are inherently compromised because of those red and blue lenses. That's what you get here, and the best we can say about it is that this 2.40:1 widescreen presentation as good as 3D-at-home gets. Although that may soon change (and the upcoming CES show should shed some light on those innovations), for now the home audience is stuck with cheap, two-color cardboard glasses and a three-dimensional image that's not nearly as smooth as the theatrical version. While the technology for presenting 3D in theaters has grown by leaps and bounds in the last decade or so, home 3D is still delivered using the same principles and techniques that were developed in the 1950s. Score: 7 out of 10 Video and Presentation

CLICK HERE for IGN Movies' full review of The Final Destination by Christopher Monfette. The vision ends, the group runs out, taking a few other survivors with them, and the next 80 minutes is spent re-killing them in dynamic, though somewhat repetitive ways. And, of course, all of this happens through some extraordinarily in-your-face 3D.

The Final Destination begins with a group of friends at a NASCAR event, one of whom, Nick, has the obligatory vision of a crash so implausibly epic that it causes a series of explosions resulting in the deaths of dozens by crushing, slicing, burning, impaling and decapitation by errant tire.

The kind of mythology that used to take an entire movie to figure out is now communicated by a character saying, "We stayed up all night Googling death and premonitions and it works like this…" A bunch of attractive teenagers survive some horrible accident thanks to a random, psychic premonition only to be hunted down by the unstoppable force of Death which they so ironically avoided. The story assumes that you know the drill by now. It's difficult to say whether the filmmakers took the 3D format as permission to eschew things like story and performance, but beyond the non-existent narrative and uninspired acting, the kills are perfectly orchestrated to provide some gut-wrenching, laugh-inducing gore, all of which spatters back on the audience via the 3D eyewear. It's not really a movie, or rather, it's not a real movie, but it's a hugely entertaining carnival ride of elaborate, three-dimensional bloodletting.
I feel much the same way about The Final Destination. Sure, the kids couldn't act and the movie wasn't so much a story as an excuse for the 3D, but the presentation was decent, the format was inventive and the massive, face-sized glasses ensured that a sufficient amount of stuff leapt out at you across the screen. Remember the early days of IMAX? Back when there were only three or four theaters, scattered across the major cities, each with some hour-long 3D extravaganza? Remember how those movies were all some variation on two kids traveling back in time to the Paleolithic era, complete with sweeping shots of some breath-taking vista (like Africa by way of New Mexico) and the all-too-frequent T-Rex attack?
