Final Destination: 4 - "It's A Trap"

[OobeDoobBenubi]

David R. Ellis (Final Destination 2) has signed to direct and develop Final Destination 4 (http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/films.php?id=3698), the latest installment of New Line's popular horror series, which the studio plans to shoot in 3-D.

While plot details for "FD4" are being kept under wraps, the movie will stand alone: It will feature new teens facing new forms of death.

The script was written by Eric Bress, who co-wrote Final Destination 2.

The "Final Destination" films have been solid performers for New Line since they debuted in 2000. The first film grossed $53.3 million, the 2003 sequel made $46.5 million and the third, released in 2006, collected $54 million.

I like them going back to 3-D with movies. It's a gimmick, but it's a fun gimmick.

[KenK]

Well, Ellis and Bress were able to put a good spin on the concept with the second film, having the survivors of the traffic pile up turn out to be people who would have died if not for the deaths that occured in the first film. Although I didn't like the main character having multiple prophetic visions throughout the entire film. And I think the ending should have been more suggestive, instead of trying to cram in another shock death.

Number three was nothing more than the writers/director saying, "how many ways can we obliterate someone's cranial cavity?"

[dark_b]

am i the only one who thought that there was no point in making the third movie?
it was like the first one.

[Wolfwood]

I'd normally pass...but if it's in 3-D, it could be pretty fun. Decapitated heads and **** flying at you will probably get me laughing my ass off.

[bullets]

the beginning disaster sequences of two and three were ingenious unfortunatley everything else was lackluster . i think 3-d is worth the effort though . that could turn any mediocre horror flick into a good experience.

[nocomics]

Well if its in 3-D it might be worth seeing I guess. The third installment was kindof lame,and just did'nt contribute any worth to series. I prefered the second movie overall,now that car accident would be hella cool in 3-d.

[Clank81]

I thought the third one was better than the second, but I'm not so sure about them making a fourth one. But since it's in 3-D, I'll probably see it.

[enterthemadness]

Well, I can see a few more flicks from this series.

You can have disasters on a...

Cruise ship.

That's really it, I guess. In terms of the opening big disaster scene. We've seen the airplane, car crash highway, and rollercoaster. What else it there left?

[Sugarculted]

Kinda liked all three...and if this does appear to look all right in the future, hell, I might just go see it.

They could also do trains

[Eelectro 2]

it should always include a disaster including multiple people, so far we've seen only modes of transportatin, i've always found it interesting to see an earthquake be the disaster with people that are suppossed to die in a building (collapsing floors, elevator, etc) making it out alive somehow. make it more than just a teen-biased movie. i think if they were to switch it up a little bit with a different audience it woudl fare well. i know there is usually enough middle-aged people in the theatres and buying the dvds, it's not always the youn people, they are a whole audience that is practically forgotten with these movies when you think about maturity and more complex and belivable incidents that don't involve kids. the 2nd one got away from that teen feeling, however the first and 3rd were all about that.

i'm all for a 4th, i was hoping they'd make another one, i just wonder if it is made in 3-d how it will come off on dvd

[Addendum]

So we had "Saw 4 - It's a trap"

Now we got "Final Destination 4 - It's a trap"

I guess we'll get "Mission Impossible 4 - It's a trap"

The third had all teens yes, but the first and second had a wider age frame.

[NewYorkSpider]

The movies just keep getting more worse as they go along. There is no need for this.

[pyromaniac]

I always have thought the concept of death as a villain, as a natural force and such was intriguing, original and interesting.

It's just that the execution needs work. And imagination in regards to the mythos that has potential to expand. And better and more rounded out characters.

In the right hands ie more talented hands, the franchise would have been a lot more memorable than what currently stands. It's a bit disappointing, to be honest. They heavily focus on the teenage factor as well as style in terms of innovative death scenes, more than the story which could honestly have gone anywhere.

[Enriquespy]

Fun deaths... Let the bodies hit the flor...!!!

Final destinantion producer Craig Perry confrims that the opening disaster in new line cinema`s HD3-D sequal will in fact be during a high-speed race car crash where an object will fly into the stands killing(or just missing) some of the audience members!.

Casting is underway for a March shoot in New Orleans

an object will fly into the stands killing some of the audience members!.

Cool! I want to die. :woot::up:

I heard that FD3 was actually pretty decent and liked by the fans and critics. If they think the market is right for another, hey, I'd say they should do it.

New Line has tapped Shantel VanSanten, Bobby Campoand, Hayley Webb (http://imdb.com/name/nm2251716/) as the stars of "Final Destination 4."

Nick Zano (http://imdb.com/name/nm1214657/), Krista Allen (http://imdb.com/name/nm0020739/) and Andy Fiscella (http://imdb.com/name/nm0278767/) round out the cast.

David Richard Ellis, who helmed the second installment, will direct the horror-thriller. Story kicks off when a teenager's premonition of a deadly racecar crash spares his life and those of a few lucky others. But death continues to stalk those who escaped it.

Eric Bress penned the screenplay.

New Line is shooting the latest chapter, budgeted at $43 million, in 3-D. The previous three "Final Destinations" have grossed more than $150 million at the domestic box office.

Principal photography begins this month in New Orleans.

VanSanten recently finished production on Roland Joffe's "Finding TATU" alongside Timothy Hutton, Mischa Barton and Anton Yelchin.

Campo's credits include the UPN series "South Beach."

Webb appeared in the TV series "Shark" and "Close to Home."

***

You'd think for $43 mil, they could get a slightly better cast :o. Beyond the first film *my favorite* the rest have been kinda crappy, imo.

[theShape]

Why?

[Morg]

another one? Crap, they need to stop that

[theShape]

another one? Crap, they need to stop that

Agreed, but this one's in 3D so it'll make a ****load of money, and will be followed by a fifth installment. :down:

And another car accident premonition?:down
I know the guy who directed the 2nd movie and first car premonition one is directing, but another car accident?:down

[the a1ant]

^Yeah, I did a search on the cast and wow - a bunch of nobodies. When I searched for Krista Allen, all I got were naked photos of her =/

This franchise is getting kind of repetitive. It's just the same story over and over and over with a new cast.

[xwolverine2]

im only watching this one because its in 3d...

ive never seen gore and violence in 3d...lol

[theShape]

I'm gonna say this again. These movies are made purely for entertainment, not for deep or complex storytelling. And I like all the movies, but for anyone who thinks the first one is the more deeper/complex one, it really isn't, it just seemed that way because it was the first of the series.

Can't wait for this one.:up:

I don't expect movies like this to be deep or complex. In fact, there are plenty of great movies that aren't complex at all, but these films are just not that good. They're predictable, formulaic, and pretty lame.

[nocomics]

I thought FD2 was the best of the bunch imo..especially the 'pile up' at the beginning of the movie. I really did'nt care too much for FD3 seemed too cliche and boring..
I'll see FD4 just for the fact its in 3-D and thats about it..I probably would'nt go see it otherwise;unless it looked interesting..

[Majik1387]

I thought FD2 was actually the worst of the 3 movies.

[PyroChamber]

The third one wasn't too bad, as far as kills go, but I hated the characters and couldn't wait for most of them to die. I loved the tanning bed death scene.

I'm sure that the escalator is not the main death threat the way that the plane, the road collision, and the roller coaster were. I'm sure its just a death scene for 1-2 of the 'survivors'

[Sam Fisher]

I like the first one. The others I could care less about.

[PyroChamber]

Sometimes I wonder what's the point being that whoever survives one FD movie will just end up dying in the next one, whether it be on-screen or in some article.

No, I know that. I meant what you said. I think the main death is a race car crash or something. Stupid as hell.

Do a goddamn bullet train.

[Sentinel X]

Sometimes I wonder what's the point being that whoever survives one FD movie will just end up dying in the next one, whether it be on-screen or in some article.Haha...I agree. Death rate is 100% for these movies, I don't get why they keep fighting for there lives. Its always worse and more painful than the original death anyhow.
Although I have seen these films and enjoyed them (in a D-list horror movie sort of way)...I think I might just see this one in theaters because of the 3D. I always wanted to se a 3D horror movie, it was sort of popular back in the 80s but I wasn't born then.

[Sam Fisher]

Like Jaws 3D? LOL.

[The Apatow Crew]

I like these films.:o:yay::grin:

[xwolverine2]

the new poster is the best one from all the movies... which surprises me, i thought this one would suck like the third.

I don't know why everyone seems to hate on the first one for.

[Figs]

Anyone know if Tony Todd will return in this one?

[The Apatow Crew]

Anyone know if Tony Todd will return in this one?It's doubtful, but who knows.

If they have the trailer debut with any movie, it'll be Drag me to hell.

oh sweet ..hell yeah

[Asteroid-Man]

These movies sucked.

[nocomics]

Like Jaws 3D? LOL.
:facepalm

[Image]

So you cheat death, it will eventually try and get you again... Now the whole thing for any character in the movies is to cheat death once and for all... For what? It's going to try and get you again anyway! Don't get me wrong I like movies, but it's basically saying no matter what you do no escaping. It's should just stop unless this one will actually have a way of explaining how to not worry about death anymore, which I don't see how they could do. I guess I can try and think of a way, but would rather not as I don't really care. Will just see just to see anyway lol.

[xwolverine2]

didnt they survive in the second one because of the whole baby thing?

[NewYorkSpider]

These movies sucked.

The first and second were decent. Third one was just awful.

[PyroChamber]

The only thing I hated about the third one were the people, I couldn't wait for all of them to die.

[Asteroid-Man]

The plot, characters, special effects, acting and directing in all three were terrible. I'll be avoiding this one.

[ABleedingCorpse]

Not a big fan of the FD series, but they do entertain me the first go around watching them. And seeing how this is in 3D...I'm there. I'm a sucker for 3D films and horror.

[AlteredEgo]

didnt they survive in the second one because of the whole baby thing?
yeah they did, that was ******** though. i hated that one.

[Sam Fisher]

Kinda stupid to call this "The Final Destination" when this movie won't likely be the franchise's final destination.


Oh well, the first was the only good one anyway.

[AlteredEgo]

yeah, i liked the first title actually, kinda corny sounding. in a good way though. :up:

[mastermindjcg]

Why? Dear lord, why? On the one hand, yeah, I realize that this is nothing more than a cash cow being milked dry. On the other hand, there are better horror films like Drag me to Hell to spend your money on rather than this horse s***. If they really wanted to grab my attention, they would've set up the big death scene in a movie theater filled with the stupidest f***s imaginable(college kids preferable), then Death does a number on the joint. Next thing you know, all hell breaks loose, the air conditioning goes nuts, shrapnel from the fans plummet down and impale some, the THX Dolby DG whatever the f***, goes up to five times it's maximum volume and causes some heads to explode. Finally, those who are left over burn in the impending fiery doom that's seen a mile away. It's harsh, but fair. You choose to support mediocrity, death will come looking for you. Deal with it.

Not a fan of FD...but THE FINAL DESTINATION, lol, that's so cheesy that I like it. And it's in 3D, so of course I'm interested in it. I'll be seeing Halloween2 though, so this film will hit the one week later agenda for me when it comes out. But the trailer looks promising for a good 3D experiance, and really, that's what's catching me here. I could care less about the plot, characters because I really don't care about FD, but I do LOVE 3D films, and seeing a car crash and such in 3D will be killer. lol

[Lighthouse]

How, HOW have we gotten this far into the thread and not have a single Admiral Ackbar picture up yet?

[Prison Mike]

the title reminds me of Fast and Furious where they took out the "The" and "and the" from the first one. In this movie, they just added "The" instead of naming it Final Destination 4.

[TwilightPro101]

About the only reason I'll sit through this one is the 3D aspect of it.

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

About the only reason I'll sit through this one is the 3D aspect of it.

Me too....:o

[AlteredEgo]

yeah, im even a huge fan of the first and third movies, and this really doesnt look that great. :csad:

[TheComicbookKid]

Not that the Destination franchise is the bastion for up and coming actors but dang that looked horrible. The acting has become as cliched as the death schtick.

[Majik1387]

That looks.........really terrible.

[ABleedingCorpse]

But it's really terrible in 3D, which makes it...no it's still terrible, but in 3D.

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I'm tired of this franchise.

The first one has good kills but is boring as f**k. It's actually a real movie but it's still boring.

The second one is a bad movie but it's fun to watch the over the top looney toon deaths the franchise is known for.

The 3rd one is awful but again it's fun to watch the silly death scenes.

The 4th one looks like the exact same movies as the first 3 and it seems they ran out of ideas regarding the starting disaster. I mean a race track...seriously?

[Dark Victory]

Wow. What's the point of 3D if the visual effects look like something from a sci-fi original?

[dark_b]

Wow. What's the point of 3D if the visual effects look like something from a sci-fi original?

i'll probably watch it out of boredom some afternoon, but I am all for the original idea of injecting new blood into this 'great' concept...

I mean, will we even get a little more insight into why one of the random kids always gets these 'warnings' before the incident happens (i know for plots sake, but it has been one of the consistant themes in all the movies, could we at least get some meaning as to how its happening).

Seriously, ANYTHING would help me stay interested.

[terry78]

The whole Final Destination franchise is based on satirizing the whole horror movie death thing. You think something is gonna happen, then it don't. Or they switch it up and have someone else die and then the next person in line gets it right after them, etc.

[Doctor Jones]

The first was clever, it tricked the hell out of me, the second got lucky, the third I saw coming, and this, My God, we all know he will be dreaming it.

How can there be FOUR Final Destinations? Hopefully with the "the" in the title it will be the last.

And they basically spoiled how the black guy dies.

Fave tv spot.
Yeah its mine too. It has my favorite line "I was MEANT to SEE this MOVIE!"

[Doctor Jones]

Why are people responding towards this drivel? I really lliked how 3 ended but now the deaths look stupid as hell. A car wash, a thing flying out of a lawn moor? A freaking tire killing someone?

[Dark Victory]

Wow, this looks awful on every level. A race track? My god...the acting's even worse than before, lame kills, and the CGI...ugh.

[Doctor Jones]

"Deja Vu is like - " hits by a bus

Wow! I think we've seen that before.

[TwilightPro101]

I've still got zero expectations for it, but I've got two reasons to see this film. Just like I did with MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3-D:

1) The character deaths.

2) The 3D factor.

You know all you people say its stupid and whatnot, but are still gonna go see it.

[StarkTheProdigy]

i'll be seeing this, along with H2, this weekend is going to be awesome, both look great

[gkokujin]

i'm going to see this for sheer entertainment value.

i happen to like them and cant wait :)

[Majik1387]

You know all you people say its stupid and whatnot, but are still gonna go see it.
Nah, I've yet to see any of the FD movies in theaters, and out of all of them, this one just looks like *****.

H2 > this.

[The Apatow Crew]

I've seen the last one in theaters and i'm excited cause its in 3D and my theater just it a few months ago.

[The Apatow Crew]

i'll be seeing this, along with H2, this weekend is going to be awesome, both look greatAs will I.

[Doctor Jones]

[xwolverine2]

this movie was 100% completely laughably retarded....

every death was completely cartoony (lack of anywhere near decent CG) unlike the first two films which used practical fx and Cg only to enhance them.

however.. the 3d used was amazing. Hate to say it but the 3d was better than Avatar's lol

[JustABill]

Figured it would suck. Shame that'll it probably win the weekend on the 3-D gimmick alone.

[xwolverine2]

went downhill after 2...

this added nothing to the series... by "THE Final Destination" i figure they mean it'll be the last in theaters the rest straight to dvd.

oh and a heads up... theres a 3d movie-within-a-movie in this. lol so dumb

[JustABill]

What? Seriously?

[xwolverine2]

yup... thats the climax

[Episode29]

I love that it's only 81 minutes with credits.

I'll probably check it out tomorrow for review purposes but I thought the third one was awful, so my expectations are safely in check.

[dark_b]

xwolverine. the 3D was better then in avatar? did it look like a gimmick?

[The Dark Defender]

I liked it better than 3 and it's atleast as good as the first two...might like it a bit more because of the visuals and Brian Tyler's awesome score.

[Nivek]

I liked the first Final Destination. I have no interest to see this film. I am curious, how in the hell the movie theater explodes, hopefully not something lame like a gas leak.

[CelticPredator]

They were showing Wolverine. So the theater exploded due to sheer retardedness...:D

[The Apatow Crew]

I'm gonna go see this today and then halloween tomorrow after i get out of work.

Reason Im seeing this first cause of the 3d matinee show is cheaper.

[The Chris]

Haven't seen this yet, but one thing I've noticed and then a review kind of said about it as well, is that the opening scene doesn't have that sense of fear like the first three do. You have fear of the plane you're on going down, and getting into a car crash, and the roller coaster malfunctioning, but how many fans at a nascar race fear dying? You fear for the driver, but the whole place going down? Something like a train crash could bring that fear, but unfortunately they did that at the end of part 3.

[terry78]

Going to see it later on tonight because my guy works at the theatre, and I kept my RealD shades from when I saw Ice Age and he says so long as I have those, he'll let me in and if anyone axes, just bust out the shades as proof I paid to see FD. :o That's right, terry78 is being a criminal tonight.

[CelticPredator]

Heeeeeeeelll yeah!

[xwolverine2]

xwolverine. the 3D was better then in avatar? did it look like a gimmick?

it was pretty gimmicky at times... but it worked here. More-so than avatar(on a normal theater)

another problem that the series has turned into is that its now trying to get the audience to laugh at people's deaths rather than Death being something to fear and be thrilled about.

"ive got my eye on you kids!" - rock goes through eye.

" i was MEANT to watch this movie!!" - theater explodes

[dark_b]

the whole movie is in 3D right?

[xwolverine2]

of course

I seen this today. I thought it was okay, some cool stuff, but one of the main reasons I really went was the 3d and i was a fan of the series.

[StarkTheProdigy]

I saw this today, and this makes it on my list of Worst Movies of 2009.
I liked the 1st and 3rd final destination, and the whole series is nothing to be taken seriously about, its a movie where you just watch and don't think. I'll be honest, i was one of the few that were pumped for this movie, plus it was in 3D. I'll also say that this is the first 3D movie that i have seen in a theatre. After walking out of the movie, i couldn't think of one good thing about this movie. Lets start with the acting. It sucked...end of story. The script. It made the movie so cheesey that i felt like i was watching a movie from the late 90s. The cgi. Every thing looked fake,idk if it was because it was in 3D or if it just really sucked. It just felt like the makers of this movie took every easy way out, like the last scene, pure laziness, you'll know what i am talking about if you've seen it. Don't waste your money and time with this movie, and i'll be honest, that's something i rarely say.
1/10

[Episode29]

My review:

Despite being depicted as a doggedly pitiless and unstoppable elemental force, capable of dragging even the most wide-eyed and innocent of souls screaming to their horrifying and unavoidable final ends, Death sure does seem to possess a wicked sense of humour in the Final Destination series. While Jason may stab, Jaws may devour and Leatherface may chainsaw, Death seems forever fixated on crafting an endless series of the most creatively Rube Goldberg-ian fatalities possible. I suppose that, being immortal and all, Death must have an infinite amount of time to sit around, surrounded by pencils, calculators and graph paper, to figure out how a routine trip to the carwash can lead, courtesy of a broken antenna, faulty moon-roof and shorted-out electrical box, to a shrieking young girl facing certain decapitation (or at least brutal, flesh-pulverizing scoring.). Boredom will do that to you, it would seem. Now, are these efforts somewhat pointless? Pretty much. A tad too cruel? Certainly. Kind of amusing? Well, yeah.

Unfortunately, though, Death’s cartoonish machinations are the only thing keeping the fourth film in the franchise, stupidly titled The Final Destination (Does the “The” mean that we have finally reached the definitive final destination?), afloat amidst a sea of indifference and lethargy. Whereas the better series’ entries tapped into a certain interesting, if superficial, universal fear regarding the nature of mortality, and man’s anxieties regarding the uncertainty of what lies beyond the Pearly Gates, this latest entry feels more like a contemptuous pre-packaged compilation of kills than an actual film. Blame it on a non-existent script, which even stoops so low as to utilize a lengthy Next-style dream sequence to pad out its 81-minute run-time (Including credits, kids!) and gore-factor, or the obvious boredom of returning director David R. Ellis – who helmed the superior second entry – but even the added 3-D gimmickry can’t make this Destination feel any less mundane or familiar.

As we’ve already seen the splatter-tastic horrors associated with exploding airliners, fender mutilating traffic accidents and, um, broken-down roller-coasters (They were already running out of ideas with that one), The Final Destination introduces us to the grisly joys of a NASCAR rally race gone awry. Crushings: Check. Impalements: Check. Beheadings: Check. Mopey but fresh-faced protagonist (Bobby Campo) preternaturally envisioning the gruesome event before it actually occurs and then dragging his friends, including a few cute girls (Shantel VanSantern, Haley Webb) and one douchey jock-type (Nick Zano – a poor man’s Travis Van Winkle), plus a few one-note bystanders (Mykelti Williamson, Krista Allen, Andrew Fiscella), away from the impending danger *breath* before all havoc breaks out, thus throwing Death’s fateful plan out of whack and dooming the survivors to even uglier alternative demises: Check. A fresh approach to this timeworn premise: Well, four outta five ain’t bad!

Although sparkling characterizations and transcendent dialogue shouldn’t be expected, nor deemed necessary, to sell this type of material, but it’s often confounding how badly The Final Destination falls on its face every time it calls on its actors to actually, you know, talk and express feelings and stuff. They sit around tables and living rooms spewing creaky exposition and having the exact same quarrels and freak-outs that the protagonists of the previous flicks had. You could literally erase the audio from the film and dub in dialogue from Final Destination 2 or 3 and it wouldn’t make a lick of a difference. Even more damaging is that this entry boasts the blandest cast yet, with star Campo blankly and droning on about premonitions, while the while the supporting players, appearing like deer caught amidst of blinding mass of headlights, weakly sob, squeal and vent. The only actor actually capable of delivering of any level of effective pathos, Mykelti Williamson, seems brought over from another film, staring gloomily out at the world through wounded eyes and tearfully reminiscing over his painful past. He also must endure the film’s ugliest scene, where a redneck creep calls him the N-word and attempts to light a burning cross on his front lawn. Now, look guys, I’m all for edginess in my horror flicks, but this addition felt mean-spirited and cheap. Frankly, screenwriter Eric Bress should be ashamed of himself for tossing it in there when an ounce of subtlety would have sufficed (Yes, I recognize the irony in demanding subtlety from a film that features a man being sliced, Julien style, into squishy pieces by a chain-link fence. Humour me.). And where in the name of Sawa is series regular Tony Todd? You know you’re running a dubious production when even Todd, star of the impending Hatchet 2 and Murder for Dummies, won’t sign on the dotted line.

Now, I’m sure that the past 700 words have mostly read like “blah blah decapitation blah blah cute girls blah” to you Final Destination fanatics (Do you guys have a catchy acronym or moniker yet?) and you just want to know how cool the assorted collection of death scenes are. Well, there are a few corkers, such as a nasty variation on the ol’ pool-filter-sucking-out-your-insides urban myth, a squishy trip through an escalator belt along with a number of icky-drippy moments during the opening NASCAR car-tastrophe. But unlike the first two instalments, there’s no sense of tension or dread attached to the CG ghastliness, as it seems Death has read the script and, like us in the audience, knows exactly how the pecking order works and whose jig is up next. A little unpredictability would go a long way, especially since the Real Doll© cast dilutes any feeling of increasing stakes. They, like the filmmakers, are just running through the motions in order to help the enterprise draw in some easy teen summer-movie-going cash. I should probably also add that this is the second film in as many weeks to feature an exploding movie theatre. However, while Tarantino, in Inglourious Basterds, fashioned a nightmarish inferno of cackling damnation, The Final Destination creates... an exploding movie theatre. Like everything else in the flick, it all just feels too little, and far, far too late.

If this franchise is truly determined to continue (and I’m not crossing my fingers for it to do so), significant reinvention is going to be needed to keep drawing the required bloodthirsty packs of dedicated fans necessary to warrant further entries. As a horror film, The Final Destination is toothless, as a 3-D gore-a-thon it’s underwhelming and as a work of suspense it is just plain laughable. The Grim Reaper deserves better and maybe next time, God willing, instead of being forced to dutifully prop up another tired retread, it’d be better for all involved if Death just takes a damn holiday.

2 out of 5

P.S. The Final Destination has quite possibly the worst recreation of a movie-going audience in the history of cinema. It's akin to the Friends episode where the gang goes to the Hootie And The Blowfish concert. Have any of the people behind these productions ever attended a large-scale entertainment event with the paying public?

[TwilightPro101]

The short review: Copy and paste formula of cliche characters in extremely cartoony based deaths. The film basically goes through the motions of the typical Final Destination formula and adds nothing special to the mix. The 3D is great, but there's nothing all that stand out or worthy of the price of admission beyond it.

What did you guys expect after seeing the second final destination. I'm amazed it's gotten this far. The only reason to see this is because it's 3-d horror which is a smart marketing strategy. I'd just look at these as guilty pleasures . It's a shame they could never match the first.

[TwilightPro101]

With regards to the franchise in general, I thought the first film stood out well enough as a stand alone film, that didn't need any particular sequel. It worked, defined the terms of the world and explored the slasher genre in a fresh fashion.

The second film only brought me thanks to the return of Ali Larter's character. Overall, I thought it was fairly decently handled. The script itself had a few issues, but it explored the concept in a different light and that worked in my books.

Three, I have to admit at least tried to explore the material in a more different fashion than the previous two. I liked the idea of the photographs hinting at the possible deaths of the characters and how that was played out. In particular, the deaths in this film were where my faith in the franchise started to decline. All the same I thought it tied everything together nicely and wrapped what could pass as some sort of FD trilogy of sorts. Even if not all of the characters made it through to that point.

With the fourth, I had no expectations going in and was expecting the formula. Was it fun? Fairly. Does it live up the previous entries? Depends on your preference. Personally, I wasn't impressed, but it was fun to escape for an hour and not to have any real weight of concern for any of the characters. Could the producers/writer/director explored the franchise more creatively? Definitely. Could there be another sequel? As long as it's making bank, I don't see New Line Cinema stopping this franchise any time soon and they've got novels and comic books to pull from if they ever want to go that route as well.

[UnionJack]

Saw this on Friday night in 3D.
The 3D looked good, some of the cgi was pretty poor, the acting wasn't great, the story was as simple and dull as the others.
Hopefully this is the end of the series.

2/5

[CelticPredator]

I agree with Episode's review. But I wont lie, it was quite entertaining. Except the pool scene. That was gross. And furthers my fear of that damn drain. :(

[The Chris]

Well, this wasn't good. Bad acting all almost entirely around (the others didn't have great acting, but nothing particularly bad like this film) The death scenes are for the first time pretty weak and not too imaginative. The movie is repetitive and has about three different endings, and it's just not fun at all. The most important factor is probably the complete mess of an opening scene. I thought the first 3 films all have great opening scenes. The one here is dumb and boring. And there was too much CGI. Couldn't "feel" any of the deaths. I just blankly stared while they happened. No more please.

How I rate the series individually

how was FD3 better than 2???

[The Chris]

how was FD3 better than 2???

There's something about that whole save the pregnant chick to cheat death bit that I never liked. Plus There were certain scenes from the first film where they (or really Sawa) were constantly avoiding death that the third one had that I missed in the second one (the scene where the two kids jump off the car and and truck rams into it and the engine flies in the dude's head. That was tense) Plus there was something about the premonition being a roller coaster. The train scene rocked too.

The second one does have the best opening though, no doubt.

[xwolverine2]

the pregnant chick thing at least added something to the story...
and it had moments of real fear like the dentist scene.

3 brought nothing new to the table... just the photograph thing which felt like something from shutter or w/e. and terrible vfx too.

I'll have to check out part 2 again. I guess we'll agree to disagree for now.

I look at them as dark comdies. They are quite hilarious.

Even the first.

[bullets]

The first actually had some good humour though. The weight thing crushing the guy's skull in FD3 was hilarious though , maybe I'm a sicko.

[Sam Fisher]

Both 2 and 3 sucked I thought.

[The Apatow Crew]

[bullets]

I did two . I just view them as guilty pleasures.

[The Chris]

There was nothing much to laugh about with this one. At least not laughing with it. It just wasn't interesting. Since this did well, I wouldn't be surprised if there's another one, and if there is I hope they scale back, because the death scenes and the effects weren't good.

[The Dark Defender]

The characters in FD3 are some of the most over the top annoying cliches I've ever seen bunched together in one horror film.

The dumb arrogant jock, the dark goth couple, the annoying as all hell horny jackass with the camera, the ridiculously stupid bimbo cheerleaders...

I don't think they really could've tried harder to make the characters more annoyingly cliche'd.

The characters in this one are hardly stellar, but FD3's ensemble is just pathetic. They literally copied and pastied every teeny bopper walking stereotype that they could think of into the movie...and that roller-coaster sequence is easily the worst special effects of the series.

[The Apatow Crew]

Its budget is 40 million according to Box Office mojo. so I guess it depends on the final total.

[Doctor Jones]

Why God? Why must films like these make money and continue?

[Jolly Rolly]

A really good movie though it felt like everybody getting their turn to die was being rushed but I wasn't bored one minute, the FD movies work I believe because each movie starts off with a new cast that there's no need to have watched the previous ones.

Krista Allen who I don't have any idea what she's famous for was hot and so was the red headed chick that gets mangled by the escalator.

I exclude the first...and 4, to a certin extent.

[Sloth7d]

That's one thing, and I know there are certain movies which I don't understand the appeal of also, this being one of them. But why whine about it if you're not going to see it anyway? Let everyone else have their fun.

[Soggy]

Not much comparing to the first three movies, lacking characters you remotely really care about (minus George) although the deaths are still imaginative to say the least, a little bit of fun and much more enjoyable to watch than many horror movies nowadays which just throw gore at you in a completely unmemorable & dull way, Friday the 13th remake anyone? And in 3D wasn't too bad at all, make you jump at least once.

[LastSunrise1981]

I work at a theatre and I saw this movie. I feel the first Final Destination was the best one. Mainly because I liked the idea of the film being based around one preminition and everyone is trying to figure out how they're going to die.

This one was based on too many preminitions and it hurt it in my opinion.

[The Apatow Crew]

Yeah, it had too many fake outs in it.

[Doctor Jones]

I think the problem was they were trying to hard to throw people off but it doesn't work.

The ending was great in FD3. Probably the only good thing about it. The clever thing was, we expected the premonition in the beginning, but the end we didn't.

I actually thought FD3 had a good story and elements were there to make a better movie. I think it might have been some of the actors and it just seemed STV quality , so it didn't work for me.


Also , Tony Todd ... He's awesome but all he did in FD3 was voice the ride. I'd like more of a hint at him being the grim reaper .

[The Apatow Crew]

He was also the voice on the subway at the end.

It doesn't even have actual characters, just ridiculous parodies of every teen stereotype out there.

If someone's bashing of a film, ruins it for them, then they should just stop being such a baby.

[SuperAl]

Final Destination honestly had the opportunity to make a nice little trilogy but they killed off Devon Sawa without every showing it on film. What they shouldve done, is have him survive and every time someone had a premonition and managed to break deaths plan, he would be reinstated at the end of that new chain and he would have to find these people in order to break the chain again to protect himself. The first film was awesome, the death scenes were done very well, it actually created suspense, was done in a none gory way also. They could've officially ended it in a 3rd movie with Devon's character dieing doing something courageous, saving a child maybe, then he dies realizing he was meant to survive and endure to save this child.

Instead they just turned the movie into kind of a pointless plotline that always just ends in the same way, they all die. Theres no real point the any of the stories. Also why the hell is everyone made of butter in these movies, seriously, people dont turn into mush when they get hit by a van. They bounce off and generally die from internal bleeding. The black dude just blew up all over the van. Tho there was one good part in teh movie, where the black guy cant kill himself, i laughed :)

[bluedragon77]

somebody correct me if im wrong please, but this was the first 3d movie ive seen in the theater and honestly the 3d is what made it worse for me.. it cheapened the whole movie.. im starting to think that it might have been a bit better had it not been in 3d.. what do you think?

also the black guy was halarious that part was really funny.. and there was two really cool scenes in the movie the escalator and the car wash.. so i'll give it that..

[Retroman]

I went to see this on Friday. We first wanted to see Taking of Pelham 1,2,3 but my theater didn't get have movie because Pathe (the biggest theater chain the country) were given the preference of the prints. And to add insult to injury we found out after we bought tickets that they didn't have the 3D version of FD4.:cmad:

During the film it was obvious that many of the shots that were designed to be shown in 3D.And although at first i was disappointed not to see it in 3D by the end those feelings had changed radically because IMO this was the worst entry in the franchise.

The interesting thing about the series is that the characters have an enemy that we never really see.Starting with a big premonition the characters try to stop the inevitable. In this installment the formula has just become too repetitive.

It has some funny moments (i laughed at the tampon gag:O) but most of the acting is terrible and though the accidents/deaths were spectacular and gory it didn't have as much impact because we weren't give much reason to care for most of the characters.:o

It's like their both this era's version of William Zabka from The Karate Kid.

i liked the movie alot

[Octoberist]

the entire movie felt like a 3D show at Disneyland but with gore. It didn't feel like a real movie at all.

[Majik1387]

Probably because it was barely an hour long at max.

Top 5 worst movie of the year for me. Yay for pirating in these cases.:o

[Sam Fisher]

2/10. They keep getting worse and worse...

[Bad Superman]

FD4 sucked specially the end. It seemed as if they ran out of budget and couldn't complete the final scene so they just showed a CGI demo of what the last scene would've shown. . . .
