Final Destination And Final Destination Bloodlines

Final Destination

A young man has a vision that the plane taking him to Paris will explode. He convinces some people not to board, his vision comes true, but when the survivors start dying mysteriously, he realizes that cheating Death isn’t so easy.

An innovative idea for its time (2000) in the teen thriller genre, which became a big success and spawned several sequels—some better, some worse. Meanwhile, this movie made us afraid of everything 🤣🤣, even if we didn’t have any phobias before.

The performances aren’t outstanding, though that’s not really the point in a movie like this. It features some cool death scenes, and the fact that the "villain" is Death itself definitely contributed to the film’s success. Some of the death scenes aren’t very convincing, but they’re entertaining and tense at the same time.

At times it borders on the supernatural, but it never stops being fun—and never boring.

Final Destination Bloodlines

Haunted by a violent, recurring nightmare, college student Stephanie sets out to find the one person who can break the vicious cycle and save her family from an inevitable, horrific fate.
This is the sixth installment in this franchise, and I didn’t expect to be saying this… It’s much better than I thought!
(Given the context and expectations of the franchise, of course 😅)

🟢🟢🟢🟢

• First of all, the script is quite ambitious and engaging, which caught me by surprise.

• Directing-wise, it’s also pretty solid.

• The deaths—which are the main draw—are, for the most part, quite imaginative and many of them… very bloody.

• Most of the cast delivers a good performance.

• The opening scene is very good, visually well-crafted, and makes you care about the characters.

• A nice wink to Tony Todd’s final appearance.

• It’s so entertaining that time just flies by.

• It sticks to the usual formula of the previous films but, while not groundbreaking, it brings something fresh for the younger generation.

• Great soundtrack.

• The dark humor is very much present.

• Good pacing.

• There’s suspense and tension in several scenes.

• If you had any phobias, you’ll probably walk away with a few more after this film 😅

• There’s one death scene that I enjoyed way too much 🤣

• It has its share of twists.

• Some of the performances aren’t that great.

• It’s not particularly scary, but I don’t think that’s the point of this kind of movie anyway.

• It uses some genre clichés and feels a bit uneven in places.

• The ending is predictable, but it doesn’t really detract from the overall experience.
