The consensus of the overwhelming number of opinions is that the concept behind the six Final Destination movies is absurd – “death finds revenge on groups of people who cheated, violent death”.
Regardless, no one can argue about the high-quality special effects that show the horrific deaths of many people in these films. One cannot help but be impressed with the ideas and creativity behind the deaths and the chain reaction of events that cause these extremely violent scenes.
The sixth installment of the Final Destination franchise, “Final Destination: Bloodlines”, starts in a high-rise luxury restaurant tower where the overloaded top floor, where people are dancing, starts a series of events that cause the collapse of the building and the horrendous, violent death of everybody in the restaurant. This time around, the premonition that prevents tragedy is different, now recurring in the mind of the great-granddaughter of the woman who saved many lives some fifty years earlier in the high-rise tower.
The rest of this story follows the Final Destination paradigm where death finds revenge (in order) of all the people whose lives were saved, this time around killing all of the descendants of the people whose lives were saved fifty years earlier, because they were not supposed to be born – a new insane addition to the Final Destination story. It is all very stupid, but saved in each movie by the creativity and incredible special effects.
While this is a very good horror movie, the 92% Rotten Tomatoes concensus is a bit too high, with my rating 85% and a recommendation mostly for fans of the six Final Destination movies.
