Strange thriller about a teen who is psychic and anticipates a lot of bad things happening from a plane crash to a woman's house burning down. The movie has its moments but the premise is out to lunch

A boy has a dream that a plane that he is on will crash. He gets of the plane with several others. But they were supposed to die in the crash, so fate tries to set things right.
This movie tries to endow fate with motives and conscious thought. I can not agree with this premise but nonetheless, the movie is entertaining to watch. There is some violence in the movie so this may not be appropriate for younger viewers.

chapter11 [ 6.5 ]

Refreshingly original teen slasher "Final Destination" spices up its big-picture agenda - to kill unfortunate teenagers - with existentialist reasoning and diabolical in-jokes aplenty, making for a surprisingly substantial (and entertaining) way to spend your 90 minutes. The teens are executed not by a shrouded, menacing figure with a blade, but creatively - via a kind of toppling-domino, Rube Goldberg effect. Sure, it doesn't fully escape the laws of predictability, but at least we know we'll be surprised by the manner in which the next person dies. Additionally, characters with names like Murnau, Hitchcock, Chaney, and Shreck will come as delightful in-jokes for old-school horror fans, and sly, cheeky death humor like scoring the death of someone who narrowly escaped a plane crash with a John Denver song is not uncommon. Violent, escapist entertainment with some semblance of a brain.

I liked the basic idea right from the start and the film mostly succeeds to make the simple premise interesting. I wished the death (or better the writer) would have a little more imagininative and creative.
