The Final Destination (2009)

The Final Destination

• I absolutely hated this the first time I watched it, but on a rewatch, I had such a fun time, and I think I judged it too harshly. It's so goofy and corny and awful, but that's what makes it so fun. It's very silly and is basically a copy of the first three, but still, I love it. The story was the exact same as the second and third movie in this series, so everything you see, you’ve seen before. Nothing was original, as well as nothing unique about it. Most of the characters weren't very good, and neither was the acting, but that's the charm. I love how exaggerated and forced the acting is. It has that special late 2000's quality to it. The music isn't anything notable, and nothing from the score stood out much. Easily the worst part of the whole movie was the CGI and effects. The CGI is pretty awful and extremely noticeable. There were a bunch of different moments where I physically winced because I was caught off guard by how terrible they were. But again, the whole film is like that, and I'm here for it. Overall, it's a cringey film, but it's so bad it's good. It's the 'Batman & Robin' of this franchise. It's dumb, but it's fun!
