Final Destination: Bloodlines is okay not great
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 18th, 2025 3:48 PM Author: Histrionic rigpig love of her life Pros: -Incredible opening sequence; an Extravaganza -Acting much better than any of these since the first one, and there are at least some emotional stakes. Even if they're not very sophisticated they feel sort of -Mostly hits the right balance between shouting out the previous movies in little fun ways without being super Reddit fan about it
Cons: -Needed a couple more kill scenes IMO -The CGI gore is iffy a lot of the time, and some of the other CGI stuff, too. -Ending is terrible; I like it conceptually, but they went to one particular well too many times for it to work as a callback, and the effects just ruin it. -The characters eventually get a decent groove, but the first 5-10 minutes after the prologue are really bad amateur hour shit

Date: May 28th, 2025 4:18 PM Author: Chocolate federal bawdyhouse national security agency I agree with most of this.
additional pro: this movie was a bit funnier than the earlier movies. the pierced angsty son was solid comedic relief.
I didn't *hate* the ending but do think it could have been better. Agree that overall the movie had some cool easter eggs for longtime fans of the franchise and was a bit self referential to some of the high points of the earlier films without overdoing it.
Agree BIGLY that it needed maybe 2 more good death scenes.
Saw it with a friend that's not very into horror. He had seen the original Final Destination 20 years ago but none of the sequels. He absolutely loved it. I think it functions very well as a mostly stand-alone film for people that aren't hardcore FD fans.
I think it was pretty good but not great. Overall if I had to rank it, I'd put it below parts 1-3 but above 4 & 5 |

Date: May 28th, 2025 11:50 PM Author: ZOOMER STOMPER (No Future) Agree 100%
I thought the comedy mostly worked
I like the idea of the ending but it mostly reminded me that I need to rewatch 2 again
I also need to rewatch 4; I remember that I hated the first half of it but that once they got to the mall it was really entertaining |
