Oh look, Death’s playing the same old game of Whac-A-Mole with forgettable teenagers again. Final Destination: Bloodlines has me wondering if the Grim Reaper is suffering from creative burnout. While the original made me actually care whether those kids escaped their fate, this installment left me rooting for Death to hurry up and get it over with already.
The death scenes? Sure, I winced. I visibly said “ouch” multiple times. But impressive Rube Goldberg-style deaths can’t mask a script that feels like it was written by AI prompted with “give me Final Destination, but worse.”

At least the original had characters with personalities beyond “soon-to-be-dead person #4.” This crew makes you check your watch between kills, wondering how many more have to die before you can leave.
If you’re a die-hard fan of watching attractive people meet spectacularly unattractive ends, you’ll get your money’s worth. For everyone else, Death’s dance card is getting predictable, and frankly, he needs some new moves.

What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Brilliant idea with great information
I’ve been using RunPee for a few years now and it’s basically a requirement of going to the movies for me. The best part of course are the “pee times” that give you cues, synopses and times for when you can pee without missing the most important parts of the movie. There is also information about the credits- length, extras and if there are any extra scenes at the wayyy end. Super helpful to just know that it is or isn’t worth staying. There is a timer function that will buzz your phone when it’s a good time to pee. I also appreciate that the app is very conscientious about it being an app you use in a theater- dark background, all silent alarms etc. I will always enjoy the experience of the theater even if I could watch things at home- but I’ve even used it at home to check for things like after credit scenes or other information too.
