movie review - Final Destination

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Sydney, 2000.04.15

The only notable thing about this movie was that during our viewing, the fire alarm went off in the mall in which the cinema is located. That meant that the screen just went dead and we were left to blunder around in the dark to find out what had happened. I went out and found out what was happening, and went back for Sara. I'd just bought my laptop, I seem to recall, and had to fumble for it in the dark seat next to mine (we've never been to a full cinema showing in Sydney, it seems).

Not recommended.
