The Final Destination Trilogy

I caught it today and 😲 man, the scenes in this movie are wild—it’s a must-watch. If you've already seen Resident Evil, nothing will shock you, and honestly, some parts are actually pretty funny. I enjoyed the first one enough to dive into the sequel, which is definitely more gore-heavy. I ended up getting lost in those death lists again, but who cares? Anyway, check it out!😁

Nice, so what’s the deal with the mini Matrix?
I’m actually thinking about checking it out. The first one was pretty solid—that scene where the girl catches the bus was such a vibe.

Are you talking about *The Animatrix*? Honestly, I wasn't really feeling it. I actually thought I had the wrong movie or was watching the wrong thing entirely, so I just couldn't get into the story.😁

James Jackson9 said:Honestly, I just thought I’d walked into the wrong theater or picked the wrong movie entirely. I couldn't get into the plot at all.😁

That sounds way too familiar to me...😁 😛

Well, I am certainly not alone in this.😁

Are you guys seriously talking about Final Destination 2?
I honestly don't get how anyone can praise this absolute wreck... the first movie was actually pretty clever and felt like something fresh, but this sequel is just an eyesore to God... 👎

How about you guys? Personally, I think both the first and second ones are great (especially those bloody scenes😁). If you aren't a fan, that's fine by me.

I actually sat down and watched that movie just today... and honestly, those death scenes were absolutely legendary! It’s so creative how they come up with those ways to go, though I did get a bit of a déjà vu feeling throughout. In my experience, the first sequel is almost always better than the second one, but I found myself more shocked—and honestly cracking up laughing—during the second installment. It isn't exactly a cinematic masterpiece worthy of an Oscar, but it certainly isn't so bad that you shouldn't give it a watch if you're in the mood for some fun.

Exactly right.👍

Given how intense some of these scenes are and how realistic they feel... what’s the minimum age you think a kid should be to watch a movie like this?

My boyfriend and I were actually debating this earlier and couldn't reach a consensus, so we wanted to see what you guys think...

What a title. It looks like Final Destination isn't actually the end. Is this the final Final Destination? Or just one more step toward being the final final Final Destination?

😁

Haven't seen it yet, but I noticed it was nominated for Best Action Sequence at the MTV Movie Awards, so I'll give it a look.

Speaking of which, I might as well go back and watch the first one too.

Alright, movie buffs...

...I'm curious to get your take—what’s the absolute minimum age a kid should be before they're allowed to watch something like this?

Let's get a discussion going on this one.

Believe it or not, they’re actually filming Final Destination 3, officially titled "Cheating Death: Final Destination 3".

Alright, so the first one was decent—kind of a refreshing break from those typical teen slashers like Scream (not that Scream is bad, as a standalone film, but it felt like so many movies tried to ride its coattails afterward), because the killer was actually Death itself. That made it worth watching, and there was plenty of tension...

The sequel, though? Pretty pointless. Basically just recycled the first one without adding anything new. Total waste of time.

Besides, what's the actual thrill in watching a movie where you already know everyone is going to die? I mean, the killer is DEATH. Anything else would just feel unbelievable.

The first one is passable, but the second one? Definitely NO.

And now, they're working on number 3.

Word is the movie starts off with a massive accident on a Rollercoaster.

That sounds pretty wild, and honestly, there's a lot of potential for some intense, gory scenes... a metal bar snapping off, the coaster dropping mid-loop... total chaos followed by a complete collapse. All in all, it sounds "better" than that highway accident from before...

Once things get moving, the other deaths can be easily worked in if the writers use their imagination. And if that’s just how it starts, who knows what's waiting for the "survivors" further down the line? :/

Anyway, looks like we might see FD 4 & 5 once they come up with another "interesting" main disaster...

I’ve seen both parts—the first one is definitely the winner, but the second one is worth a watch if you have the time...

They were better than your run-of-the-mill horror flicks, though I'm not sure they'll ever pull off a truly top-tier masterpiece... 🙄

A few stills just dropped:

Brian Williams said:Believe it or not, they are actually filming Final Destination 3—officially titled "Cheating Death: Final Destination 3"!

The first part was actually pretty solid! It felt like such a refreshing change of pace from those typical teen slashers like Scream. Don't get me wrong—Scream is a great movie on its own, but ever since that hit, it feels like every single film in the genre just tried to chase that same exact formula. In this one, having Death itself act as the killer was a clever twist that kept things interesting. It was genuinely tense, wasn't it? Definitely worth the watch!

Honestly, the sequel felt completely pointless. It was basically just a recycled version of the first film, nothing more. Total waste of time!

I mean, what’s even the point of watching a movie where you already know everyone is doomed? It's practically written in the stars! At the end of the day, Death is the killer. If anything else tried to step in, wouldn't the whole thing just feel totally unbelievable?

The first one might pass, but the second? Absolutely not!

And guess what? They’re filming the third one right now!

It looks like the movie is going to kick things off with a massive disaster on a Rollercoaster!

That sounds absolutely wild! You could easily turn that concept into a mountain of intense, gore-filled sequences. Imagine a metal rod snapping off and taking someone's head clean off, or a roller coaster derailing right at the peak of a loop. Total chaos! And then, of course, everything just falls apart in a complete collapse at the end. Honestly, compared to that highway pileup disaster, this sounds way more exciting, doesn't it?

They’ve been teasing this one for over a year now! Can you believe how long we've been waiting?
Wait a second, let me tell you—I thought the second installment had some absolutely fantastic death scenes too! Honestly, wouldn't you say they were maybe even more original than the first one? 😉

The only redeeming quality of the second installment is Tony Todd's cameo...

I watched the first one and thought it was great. I skipped the second because everyone was tearing it to shreds, so I wasn't interested. As for the third? Hmm... I'm skeptical.

brighttiger6 said:I watched the first one and absolutely loved it! I skipped the second because everyone I know was trashing it, so I just wasn't feeling it... But the third one? Hmm... I'm still a bit skeptical.

Everyone has different tastes, right? Why listen to the crowd? If you enjoyed the first one, just go ahead and watch the second!
It’s actually not bad at all!

I’ve only ever sat through the second one, and honestly, it’s a solid flick.

If you want the full experience, you absolutely have to hunt down the deleted scenes and the director's commentary on the DVD. It's worth every second.

So, the movie finally hit theaters here in the States this week. I'm honestly crossing my fingers that it makes its way over to us super fast, but until then, I wanted to share a few thoughts from some users I've been following...

" Wow, what a rush...

Final Destination 3 was honestly incredible. Unlike the second installment, which felt like it was lacking a bit of direction, this one actually brought a cohesive story back to the table. I also felt like the death scenes totally raised the bar compared to both Final Destination and Final Destination 2. Each kill felt unique—most of the time, you're sitting there thinking you know exactly how someone is going to go, only for them to die in some other completely freakish, unexpected way instead. Even the ending was executed perfectly. It was such a blast seeing this in theaters, and it’s pretty wild that even after three movies in the franchise, you’re still left craving more.

" Honestly, it’s better than ever!!!

Final Destination 3 really caught my eye. A few friends and I sat down to watch it around 8:00 this morning, thinking it would be more of the same as Final Destination 1 & 2, but man, were we wrong. After the credits rolled, we actually wanted to jump right back in and watch it all over again! It’s such an exciting, fun ride. If you're into Horror Suspense, or if you're looking for a solid Thriller and Sequel, you definitely need to check this one out.

" Final Destination 3 rocks.

I honestly think Final Destination 3 stands out as the absolute peak of the franchise. It was definitely on the more gruesome side, which is exactly what I was looking for—I loved every second of it. If I had to rate it, I’d give Final Destination 3 a solid 3.5 stars. The whole thing just rocked! I'm actually considering a rewatch soon. Plus, those death scenes were so creative; they really make you look at everyday objects and feel a sudden urge to stay far away from them!

" Honestly, this might be the best one yet! You really have to see this with a crowd to get the full experience.

This is such an awesome body count flick that dives straight into the action with death scenes that are absolutely incredible! Honestly, I can't recommend this enough—you have to see it in a packed theater. There’s nothing like the energy when the entire audience goes wild after every single kill. Trust me on this, I actually caught it three times before it even hit wide release. The whole movie feels like one giant Rollercoaster ride; it's just pure, exciting fun, and you'll walk out of the theater with a huge grin on your face.

" If you're looking for something good to watch, I'd definitely suggest diving into the Final Destination franchise if you're in the mood for some Horror Suspense. Personally, I think Final Destination 3 was one of the best in the series—it’s got that specific vibe that really sticks with you. It can get pretty intense, but honestly, the whole thing is just such an Outstanding Movie when you want something high-stakes. If you haven't seen them yet, starting with Final Destination 1 & 2 is probably the best way to go to get the full experience. Enjoy!

This is such an awesome flick to sit down with. You’ll definitely find yourself on the edge of your seat the whole time. Honestly, it's totally worth the watch... you really have to appreciate the clever concept they pulled off here. Plus, the Visual Effects are simply superb.

" Outstanding Movie

Outstanding Movie. It really hits that same high note as Final Destination 1 & 2. Honestly, the Visual Effects are just incredible—top-tier stuff.
The Visual Effects are a huge step up compared to Final Destination 1 & 2. Honestly, it’s a much better experience than sitting through King Kong.

" Wow...

As far as trilogies go, I think this served as a pretty solid conclusion.

" Honestly, if you look at the whole trilogy, I’d say this one is the best of all three.

Personally, I think this one stands out as the absolute best of the trio. It had some really clever nods back to Final Destination 1 & 2, too. While there were definitely a few funny moments sprinkled in, the film as a whole was just packed with nonstop suspense.
Honestly, looking back at everything I've watched lately, it stands out as one of the absolute best movies I’ve seen all year.

" Honestly, this one is awesome—definitely a must-see.

I just walked out of the theater, and man, what a ride. Seriously, that was incredible. It’s one of those movies that just refuses to let you relax—you're stuck on the edge of your seat from start to finish. There isn't a single dull moment in the whole thing.

" Honestly, I’m just feeling really, really disappointed.

I had such high hopes for this one, honestly. I was genuinely excited to sit down and watch it, but man, it left me feeling pretty let down. Don't get me wrong, I thought Final Destination was a great concept—it was a really fresh, interesting idea back then. But then the second one came out, and I struggled with it because it felt like they were just hitting the same beats as the first film. Now, after sitting through this third installment, I feel like it’s actually taken a step backward. The death scenes felt totally predictable to me, and the vibe in the theater was just off; instead of being tense, people were actually laughing during the kills. If you're someone who lives for that specific kind of gore, then sure, go ahead and check it out. But if you're looking for that genuine suspense where you're sitting on the edge of your seat, it's definitely not worth dropping 12 bucks on.

" Final Destination was actually pretty decent.

Fair enough, but just don't go setting your expectations too high.

" Off the hook!

Honestly, it was awesome. There were a ton of similarities to the first film, which usually isn't a great sign, but after how much the second one sucked, you're practically begging for some nostalgia. In this case, though, catching those little nods to the original was actually pretty fun. I was also relieved that they didn't throw in a random cameo from Alex Browning just for the sake of it; it would have felt totally pointless. Anyway, I thought the lead actress was one of the best I’ve seen in a horror flick lately. She really stepped up and owned her role. Plus, she wasn't just some helpless, screaming maniac, which was a huge plus in my book. As for the kills? They were way better. They weren't cheesy like some of the stuff in the second movie. They were absolutely gory, which was so cool. It's awesome. Go see it.

" THE WILDEST ONE YET

This movie is Outstanding Movie! The Visual Effects and the death scenes are just incredible. I'll be honest, the plot wasn't exactly top-tier, but the experience was excellent. The acting was solid, too! Overall, it’s such a great watch—trust me, you won't regret seeing this! "

" gives me the chills

I've watched all the Final Destination films, but this one definitely takes the cake! The original was alright, and the second one was pretty creepy, but this latest entry in the Final Destination series is on a whole different level of scary. I was actually shaking when I walked out of the theater. It was super intense and featured plenty of gross, bizarre deaths. I really wonder if they'll make another one? "

" Awesome Movie!! Totally worth the ticket price!!!

This has to be the best out of all three!!! I'm telling you, this one is pure fun!! My jaw was on the floor through the entire film!!! I can't wait to go see it again!"

" Super Gory and Surprising, though the plot feels a bit thin.

Basically, Final Destination is about ironic, gruesome deaths happening to teens who narrowly escape fate, and the third one follows that formula perfectly, just with much more gore—they really lean into the kills this time. Every FD movie has that brutal opening death sequence; while the Rollercoaster scene in the third one was a little underwhelming, it was still well executed. The deaths are unpredictable and honestly kind of darkly entertaining. The directing felt a bit off this time, and the acting was just okay. I'm definitely picking up the DVD, though, because those death scenes are too good to miss a second time. "

" it was good

The story was decent, but it didn't feel connected to the previous two movies. That said, the way these characters meet their ends was way more creative than in the earlier films. I definitely jumped once or twice during the screening."

So 😁 I hope any interest or hype you guys had about this movie has only grown even more... 😁
