What critics compared The Final Destination to
The Final Destination films have always been about fate and destiny and the ways in which people endeavor to control their own outcomes by outmaneuvering Death’s design.
In contrast to later movies, like The Final Destination, which veered into comedy but always fell flat to the point of making you cringe, this one is actually funny and sure of its tone.
Except for The Final Destination, the fourth movie in the franchise, every movie in this series has plenty of fun and entertaining moments of people getting killed in ridiculous ways.
(My apologies to the rest of the series, except for The Final Destination, which can rot in hell alongside all of its characters).
Unlike the 3D gimmick of The Final Destination, the franchise has learned its lesson to lean towards realism.
Aside from the awful fourth film, The Final Destination (2009), the series has been surprisingly consistent as escapism for fans of the macabre.
But the overall 3D cinema was more of a fad, thanks to a slew of inferior 3D movies ranging from The Final Destination (2009) to Clash of the Titans (2010) and the god-awful Transformers: The Last Knight (2017).
