The comparison to Final Destination is really minor, and it only comes up in the last story. The idea of an inescapable death that's always working its way toward you, thru the good times and bad, is solid tho.

Final Destination is awesome and has some great mouse-trap style set pieces.

Time for a little robot chauvinism!

The only bad Final Destination is the fourth one, but the rest are varying degrees of fun to excellent. I have this theory that it's the last true slasher franchise before the genre fell into pure homage and remakes. It's such a constrained subgenre with specific rules and formulas so the killer had to keep getting more and more metaphysical. It went from a madman in Michael Myers, to an unkillable zombie with Jason, to a spirit dream demon with Freddy, eventually at some point you should just cut to the chase. The killer is death itself. So once you have that franchise, where else is there to take the genre?

I've only seen the first three Final Destinations but I thought the third one was pretty bad. That's the one where they just decided people were exploding bags of gibs, took a lot of impact out of the death scenes. The ones in part 2 were really creative on both an ideas and effects level, some really cool mixing of CGI and practical effects in that one.

As a franchise I'll definitely take it over like, Saw or Paranormal Activity.

Good point keep talkin
Sep 14, 2011


In addition to having some really elaborate kills, Final Destination also has these small moments where things get a little real as the characters try to deal with the fact that they're about to die. Like the guy in 2 who asks the main lady if it's gonna hurt and for the lady to throw out his drugs and porn before his parents find it.

Yeah part 2 is the apex of the franchise I think. The first one comes up with the cool idea and then the second one really takes it as far as it can go. That's part of why I gave up on the series after that, 3 was a clear step down. Plus that multiple car pileup opening is just amazing.

I'd 100% agree with that, but stuff like the gymnastics scene in 5 keep me coming back. I'm a total sucker for stuff like that.

So u get like the equivalent of mock threads that go on 2 long but its 18,000+ facebook youth who have completely fallen into a community circlejerk talking about liberals & if ur unsure about posting, please check the sidebar for the google doc with the list of suggested readings because obviously people r gonna read a bunch of Engels & Rosa Luxenborg so they know that its actually an extreme slam dunk when you post the screencap of your facebook friend who said "I voted for Clinton"
