..Final Destination 4 3D.... that was a few months ago....

But now, it has been officially renamed to:

Simple and direct to the point. Seems it could be the last one, since '3' was going to be the final one, and 3-D... but they couldn't do it back then..so apparently they still wanted to make something 3-D.

For all the 3 people that care..and sorry if old. :p
 
Actually interested in this, i quite like the other 3. Too many modern horror flicks seem to be concerned with torturous scenes and i really can't stand that, these always seemed more like older films with good old fashioned fun gore :lol
 
Yeah..
You know that basically they all are going to die, but it's seeing them die..and how; the actual ride..

The hand nailed to the head in '3' was really cool...and the one in the drive-in... :D
 
I really liked the first one. It was a clever villain and interesting ways of dieing. Haven't seen the sequels.
 
Spectacular poster design.

Reminds me of the Inferno poster, but even better.

I really enjoy this series for the fact that it makes the villain death. Such a clever idea to eliminate the middle man of the slasher. The Rube Goldberg kills are just icing on the cake.
 
The Final Destination movies are stupidly fun, I hope for the same from this one.

So they bought the 'The' from Fast and Furious?

One of the "The"s at least. I wonder who bought the other?
 
Wait, have the previous ones been called The Final Destination ... or just Final Destination?

If not, I wonder if this is the last one?

I couldn't drive next to flatbed trucks carrying tree trunks for MONTHS after seeing that. Also: don't ask me how they managed to do it but my theater played the uncensored version of the movie, on release night.

I loved the first movie and felt that it was a nice teen 'slasher' (without a corporeal villain) that was delightfully cruel in the first half and slightly manic in the latter. The second movie was an unexpected turn for me but had a good sense of humour regarding the characters and accidents. The third movie I felt was a good film, though not as strong as either 1 or 2...loved the final scene though.

This is like saying "The Final Fantasy".

You be the judge.
 
Why couldn't they just call it Final Destination 4? God damn. I hate when they screw up a perfectly fine naming convention of a series for no damn reason.

What did they censor?
 
Don't give a shit about this series, but that is a pretty nifty poster.
 
Oh nice. I actually enjoy these films, even if they kind of suck.

After further reflection, not only is the poster similar to the poster for Dario Argento's Inferno, it is actually a complete rip-off of (or homage to) the final scare of that movie. Skip to about 8:20, but don't laugh too much at the FX, as it works much better in the context of the film, which is pretty strange and nightmarish.

Hmm...I must be smoking something.

No uncut version exists...just checked online and it looks like the MPAA didn't request a single frame be trimmed...I just swore that the DVD release I rented from blockbuster was less explicit than the theatrical version that I saw

Never mind me.
 
B-b-b-b-buuuump

So yeah this came out and saw that there was no new thread was a bit disheartening. However having just seen the flick it is a bit understandable. Gone are the intricate and elaborate death traps and replaced with the extended cut of a horrible work safety video (for instance Hans and The Fork Lift). With each sequel they always have to get the setup out of the way of figuring out "death's design" and the clues to the next death. Being the fourth time around they hardly try as a quick Google search and literal visions of objects take care of those respective plot points.

I'd argue the first two movies were actually good movies (more so the first then the second), but I was still entertained by number 4 in a campy, over-the-top way. This was my first 3D film so that probably added to it.

Same here ... the sequels didn't look anywhere near as good. This one, looks interesting due to it being 3D. Blood spatter could kick ass. The movie is sort of based on jump scenes and suspension which would be cool in 3D as well.
 
This won't be showing in 3D at my local cinema because they're backwards heathens there.

I've never been too keen on these movies ever since I saw two hot girls burnt alive in a tanning salon and a goth/emo girl get nails shot through her head in the last movie. That disturbed me.
 
surprised there wasn't a thread on this awesomeness. These FD movies are so bad there good, and even more so now that its in 3D. Will be watching this tomorrow.
 
Watched this tonight, I really enjoyed it although I've always been a fan of the series and its the first film I've seen in Real 3d.

The obvious Nokia product placement was annoying though

Heh, that's exactly what I thought of in that scene, even said to my friend "Director must be a fan of Chuck Palahniuk".

Surely not as bad as APPLE in the #2?

I am going tonight to watch it in 3D, I am kinda excited as it's my first 3D movie since the Michael Jackson Captin EO movie at Disney Land, and I like Final Destination :)
 
Final Destination 2 was my favorite, but I still thought this was good fun. I watch these movies more to laugh and see exaggerated gore (not unlike watching Rambo!). This being in 3D made it kinda cool. Definitely better than the 3rd and worth watching IMO
 
Haven't seen it, and 3rd was pretty lame. Everyone so far who I know who saw it say it's the worst installment. Is it really this bad?

I think it was. The first two are a guilty pleasure for me, because they were really effective with foreshadowing impending danger which made scenes tense before anything even happened. They sorta cliff notes that idea in this film with foreshadowing meaning something sparks or wobbles just so you know someones about to die. It was like 15 smalls scenes roped together and called a movie.

It just felt it lost the theatrical quality the first two had.
 
Friend said it was like they just had a bunch of random death scenes for the sole purpose of showing off 3D gore.

2 was definitely the best one.

FD2 has the better openning death scene, the part of the premonition. It then goes down hill.

3 is also scary but only because I have a terrible phobia to watching roller coasters having fatal accidents.

the only scary part of FD1 in the premonition accident is watching how the main guy is being scorched and melted.

so, my premonition accident rating: 2>3>1
 
Because of my crappy local cinema I never get the chance to watch movies in 3D so this one was a boring gorefest without the gimmick propping it up.
 
Just got back from watching it, and both my friend and I thought it rocked!

Firstly, let me stop you right there. This movie won't win awards, its the same story over again, and you don't care about the actors. Who gives a shit? This isn't Gone with the Wind, folks.

Right, now that BS is out of the way, we can talk death, and 3D awesome death at that! This was my first 3D movie since the Michael Jackson Captain EO movie at Disney Land, so I wasn't sure what to expect. From the opening credits I (and everyone in the cinema) gasped at how the opening logo got closer and closer and closer to you face, and blood splatter, nails and other nasty objects did the same thing.

It's an incredible and quite weird sensation, but you soon get used to it, and even normal scenes where people are talking feel so much more alive than a normal "flat" image.

The start of the movie as we all know takes place on a stock car racing circuit, and the way the cars move in and out of the screen (its very subtle) is just awesome, and it really does give you an amazing sensation of being more part of the movie, even though you are not.

The murders are outrageous, and some of it is pretty sick to be honest (people were freaking out at the nasty 3D deaths in the cinema, it was awesome!). There is far more gore in this one than the others, but I'd imagine they added lots more in because they were shooting in 3D (wonder if Saw VI and A Nightmare on Elm Street will be 3D?).

Before the movie started we got a trailer of Avatar which of course was shown in 3D, and that looked astonishing.

I say forget the haters, 3D really IS amazing, and from now on I want to see every movie in 3D at the cinema, it will definitely bring people back into going to the big screen again.
 
So did the mortician make the appearance in this one? Was a little pissed he wasn't in the 3'rd. He seemed like the glue that held things together and added some mystery to "death".

I liked 1 and 2, the stories were handled nicely how
the survivors of the first premonition somehow created a ripple effect which kept alive others who would need to meet an untimely end in order to fix things
.

By the third, due to further dumbing down of story, it basically became a movie of "Stupid Ways Teens Die". Which makes it basically a snuff film, but seeing how it's not real, there's no real point to a "fake" Hollywood snuff film. Most people into graphic death would rather scour the internet for the real "meat".
 
The mortician was in the third in a way, he was both the voice of the Devil at the themepark and the announcer on the train who says 'End of the line'.

Alas scheduling conflicts meant he couldn't be in the fourth

Tony Todd was the voice of the roller coaster demon statue thing in FD3. Kinda weak but he was in it.

edit: that'll teach me to leave tabs open.
