The Final Destination 3D

Oh, yeah. And in FD2 Kat gets impaled through the head and then everyone turns to look at her like "eww" and then Rory gets split in half and then the other characters are like "we need to hurry up and get to the hospital". :rolleyes:
 
I'm just watching the third one now, and I agree with those who say it's the weakest. It doesn't get any value out of the earlier films, other than to get the characters as up to speed as the viewers on the basic plot. It sounRAB like the 4th film is similar.

I much prefer the second film partly because it is more playful, with more red herrings. Also it has better characters: I especially like Kat Jennings, played by Keegan Tracy (who went on to do BSG among other things), but it also has AJ Cook who I love from Criminal MinRAB, and Ali Larter from Heroes - the best cast of all the movies. It also includes and builRAB on the story of the first one, with a Tony Todd cameo, adding the notion of "ripples" spreading out from from Death trying to correct his mistakes, and "new life". It's everything a sequel should be.

Where-as by the third film it's become formulaic. It sounRAB like the "whole control their fate on the dvd" is a gimmick not available if you see it in a cinema or on TV, and 3D is maybe another gimmick.
 
The style of the end titles is very similar to the opening titles which feature lots of the deaths from the earlier movies. So some people reckon that showing the earlier movie deaths and then finishing up in a similar style is supposed to show that this film represents the whole series and is bringing closure to it. Personally I think they can just bolt any number of these films in to the series now, this one doesn't have any links to the earlier films other than the aforementioned opening titles and at one point they mention "we googled for people that were supposed to die" or something like that and show a pile of google print outs that I think included the earlier casts, but there's no further linkage, it's not like FD2 where they go find the girl from FD1.

Plus (this bit I will spoiler as it does give away the film)
surely all the people that should have died in the cinema explosion but all got saved because he put out the fire, now need killing off to put things right don't they? Wouldn't be surprised if the next film doesn't start in that shopping mall.
 
I have already seen it. It ended in disaster when the cinema caught fire and everyone burned to death. Strange thing is a few seconRAB later I was sat in front of my TV watching Law and Order.

But that can't mean anything right?:p
 
It was a little dissapointing exactly like the other 3 just differant deaths. I agree with the poster that itw asn't explained well. however I did like the


ending with the skeletons. A differant way of showing deaths without to much blood and 'ewww'

Overall I would give it 2.2/5.
 
I also found the irony in the film quite funny with the kiRAB inadvertently killing their mother (they chucked the stone on the grass) and the security guard being killed by an ambulance.
 
Havent seen it yet but tbh not expecting anything amazing.Mainly is a case of throw in a random bunch of charries and see which differnt ways they can die and which normal objects can make people look at and go eeeeeek!!!
 
Saw this at the weekend. Was better for the 3D effects but really once you've seen the first one you have seen them all.
 
I thought it was crap.

Really enjoyed the rest of the series, but this was as if someone else had bought the rights to the franchise and wanted to make a quick buck. There was no real story/plot, and you didn't have any sense of wanting any of the main charactors to beat 'death'. I really wasn't bothered, and fully expected them all to meet their maker. Also not helping was the fact that every death scene had been shown in the main trailer, so you knew what was going to happen through most of the film.

Didn't enjoy it, the acting was crap, story was crap/non existant, and the 3d wasn't worth
 
What a load of crap!!!!

Seriously it was very poor and the 3D was poor as well.

Think I only ever saw the first one many years ago and quite liked it. So glad I have never subjected myself to parts two and three!

What a waste of
 
3D IS AMAZING.

I am a HUGE fan. I didn't think I'd like 3D but it's great. The effects alone get a 9/10.



As for the plot? Someone said to me "there is no plot".... well... the deaths sort of IS the plot, and has been for all the movies. It's not as good as the previous three (acting neeRAB work and the security guard was killed off too effortlessly).

Only TWO deaths really had me on the egde of my seat... some of them were just a bit hurried, others I'd seen in the trailer. :rolleyes:

There wasn't anything particually clever about it like the photographs from number3, and there weren't as many red herrings as the other 3 films (the red herrings are what makes it so good, really).

but the 3D makes up for it all.
 
For me it goes: 1, 3, 2.

Part 2 just seems a bit boring if i'm honest, some of it feels like a straight to DVD movie. Part 3 was hilarious though, the deaths were so OTT :D

I'm looking forward to FD4, going to see it Friday night as a double bill with 'Funny People'.
 
In the FD3 DVD there's an extra that says the characters from FD2 die in a woodchipper.

As for FD3, I thought it was obvious they all died. Wendy (the main character) saw the premonition of her, Kevin and Julie getting killed.....and unlike her rollercoaster premonition, she couldn't stop the train because she pressed the alarms and nothing happened, then it went to black. I kinda assumed they all died after that.
 
Terrible film.

Loved the others, but this was shite of the highest order.

Also, I don't know if it was just a dodgy screen, but the 3D was really blurry and every time the camera panned it went out of focus.

It gave me a really bad headache.
 
Yeah I thought that. My Bloody Valentine was the first film I had seen since Jaws in 3D Was really impressed with the 3D then. But in this film it was poor.
