6/31 OktoberHorrorFest - Movie Review - Final Destination 1,2,3, The Final Destination &,5 (Several)
I've watched all of these movies twice, and some probably more. Do I enjoy them all? Yes. Are they all good? No.
So what's this about?
In every one of the movies you've got a chain of events that happen that lead to the death of several characters (among them the MAIN character). This guy or gal wakes up a couple of minutes before and he warns people of their impending doom. Some think he is crazy, others go with him\her willingly or not.
After that miracolous saving you've got strange deaths of this characters, but they are not coincidences, oh no. They are orchastrated by "Death". We see "Death" almost a supernatural being with a plan. Sometimes wind, or other thing move so that person may die. BUT not all is what seems because sometimes, this second death can be averted et voila, they are safe (again) or are they?
Have you heard the saying, nothing is true in life besides Death and Taxes? Well, in this case Death will have what it owns.
In the second movie you've got a character from the first, then there are all of this connections between characters in different movies, like someone didn't died because in the first movie something happen etc or there is one where two characters survived just to be killed in the airplane of the first movie (like a prequel but you never know it) etc.
They are good.
The first one is Final Destination (2000) is set on a airplane
The second is Final Destination 2 (2003) is set on a traffic jam (don't see the cover or else you know who survived from the 1)
Final Destination 3 (2006) is set on a rollercoaster
Final Destination 4 ( does not exist, it was titled as "The" Final Destination) and is set on a racetrack
Final Destination 5 is set on a bridge
In terms of characters, always new ones except Tony Todd (the guy from the mortuary) and also Clear Rivers which appears in 2 movies.
The fifth novel will circle back to the first.
Really enjoyed them all. Next year there will be a new movie, Final Destination Bloodlines - that will be crap I bet with all the remakes.
