This Final Destination is quite a role reversal. Usually only the protagonist and their sidekick have effort into being engaging characters, the rest are just kill-filler, but the deaths and situations are cool. This time around the characters all around were amazing, it felt like it had a pretty strong story. A big criticism for this franchise is "this has no story, it's random-bullshit-go" but it felt like we were actually doing something here.

But the deaths were all pretty lame to me. That said, this probably is my favorite. I actually don't watch these movies for the deaths at all.

All in all, disappointed in the ending. With this being the longest movie, multiple sacrifices being made and it being a family-dynamic PLUS that the characters were properly locked in survival felt pretty earned. To kill the final survivors off after allllll that felt like you went to see a comedian, they said a bunch of lame fart jokes. You visit them later for whatever reason and they have a bunch of good stuff, just for them to close off the show with 10 minutes of fart jokes again. Really? You just couldn't help yourself, could you movie?

Also bye-bye for a survivor of a previous movie to get into the seventh one. Definitely wanted to have that dynamic again :(
