Unpopular opinion: The Final Destination is the most overrated film of the decade

Director clearly thought The Final Destination was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in The Final Destination?

Just got out of The Final Destination and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Hot Take: The Final Destination's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Rewatched The Final Destination last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
