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.

Got this back when I was pregnant, but I’ll be keeping it forever, it’s just so handy. I don’t go to the movie theater that often (even back before quarantine when you actually could…) but I make sure the app and the movie list are all current and updated, cause it’s so handy! It’s great for running late cause you can read their summary, obviously awesome for bathroom or snack breaks mid movie, and I also love that it tells you if there’s anything after the credits which is very handy.
