Having expended almost every bit of the rocket propellant it carried to Saturn, operators deliberately plunged Cassini into the planet to ensure Saturn's moons remain pristine for future exploration-in particular, the ice-covered, ocean-bearing moon Enceladus, but also Titan, with its intriguing pre-biotic chemistry.īeginning in 2010, Cassini began a seven-year mission extension in which it completed many moon flybys while observing seasonal changes on Saturn and Titan. I fell asleep watching it, so don't be expecting a nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat thriller so much as a bearable psuedo-horror with some inventive death scenes.After two decades in space, NASA's Cassini spacecraft has ended its remarkable journey of exploration. If you've never seen any before, you'll probably appreciate 99% of the movie as much as anybody else out there, it's pretty brain dead. If you're a fan of the series, I'm sure you'll dig this latest film. I don't regret the $1 I spent on the movie, but that's hardly a claim to fame. Given it's severe lack of substance, there's very little to be said about Final Destination 5.

But I can appreciate the tie-ins and inventiveness of the series, even 5 films in. The premise is running dry, and to be honest has done so for the past three instalments in a row.

I have no reason at all to like the guy, he's not even a good actor. That's not to say FD5 wasn't laden with unnecessary digital-gore, but I was still impressed to see that they didn't entirely rely on it. This is not exactly an acchievemnt, given The Final Destination's abysmal quality, but still a good move.įinal Destination 5 had some pretty decent practical special effects, which made a lovely and refreshing change from the CGI bullshit I'm usually inundated with. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this entry into the franchise was every bit it's predecessor's superior. To open, I think I should cover my biggest fear going into the film.
