I don't know what it is about the Final Destination franchise. What could possibly be of any merit to have attracted me to each episode? Clearly it has to be the freaky accidents, because there's no actual plot in any of them.
In FD 5, as in 1-4, on a group excursion one of the party has a premonition about a humungous accident. In this story, it's a suspension bridge collapse. The person who had the premonition persuades a group of 6 or 7 to leave the scene of the impending disaster, thereby saving them all from horrible deaths.
Or does it?
Of course it doesn't. They each die in tragic accidents, each of which requires - for the film to exist - a succession of impossible coincidences to occur, culminating in a painful death for each unlucky person on the list.
Schlocky? Yes. Silly? Oh yes.
