Featured reviews
I liked it.. Especially how the story carries on.. as a family curse plot. Some people find Final Destination movies repetitive.. true. I guess hardcore fans might expect/anticipate every single shot because it follows the same path as the old movies. But this one is very enjoyable.
Really keeps you at the edge of your seat. Most accidents were amusing to be honest. Especially the one in the MRI machine. Very creative.
Bloodlines contains possibly the best opening of the franchise and the first 20 minutes are a treat. The effects, while not amazing, do the job and are particularly gory even for this series.
The movie works well bringing a new twist on the Final Destination formula and the family are all likable enough in their own ways.
It would be remiss of me not to mention a standout in Richard Harmon. I spend a good portion of his time on screen trying to calculate if Tom Green could have fathered him as he is his dead ringer in this (amazingly both canadian as well). It was obvious they were going for a Tom Green type of character.
Tony Todd shows up for the last time as the mortician and it's a great emotional and poetic send off for him as well as giving his character an interesting backstory.
The movie has some nice little easter eggs for fans of the series with some call backs to previous entries as well as harking back to some of the premonitions.
The Final Destination franchise has always been interesting to me but never quite delivered a quality movie. This is perhaps the closest it has came to that by just being a good time and not getting bogged down in the lore.
When you make an instalment 14 years after the last, there's probably a sense that you have to do something a little different in order to justify it. And this film does mix the formula up - slightly. Just enough that it feels a little different, but not enough that it really alters the formula we have come to know and love.
The opening scene in this movie was really good. It was lengthy, fairly creative and had some great individual kills in the mix. From there thing go into a lull for a while, allowing the story to set itself up. Then the film goes bananas the rest of the way and we are treated to brilliant kill scene after brilliant kill scene. There are some really good ones in this film.
One thing that was a problem here - and something that has plagued the series in almost every film - is that it is riddled with unlikable characters. I can only think that's being done intentionally at this point to make people feel disposable and like no one is safe, but I can't help but feel the films would be slightly more impactful if the characters were a bit more likable overall.
All in all though I would say 'Final Destination: Bloodlines' was a lot better than it had any right to be 25 years after the original. 8/10.

- TriviaTony Todd was allowed total creative control over his final scene, since he clearly didn't have much time left and the crew wanted him to have the final word of his career. His final monologue was one that the crew encouraged him to use to impart some last advice to fans.
- GoofsThe way the MRI machine works in the film is completely unrealistic to life. While the magnetic forces of MRI machines can be strong and pull in metallic objects, the way the film portrays the machine is far from reality.
For starters, MRI machines are in a shielded room due to their strong magnetic forces and not in an office that anyone (doctors or patients) can walk in and out of. They are also always switched on and never turned off.
Even if MRI machines were able to be switched on and off, it would take more than a simple keyboard command to activate it. Also, computers wouldn't be in the same room as MRIs due to them being affected by the strong magnetic forces.
There's no gauge to increase or decrease the machine's strength either, nor is there an override feature or a "Do not exceed" warning level.
The strong magnetic fields are only strong when in close proximity to the MRI machine (10-15ft away).
Most MRI machines across the US alone have a max Tesla strength of 3T (3 Tesla), with very few going to up 7T (7 Tesla) like in the film. The highest Tesla strength on an MRI machine can go up to 11T (11 Tesla).
