The Final Destination 4

This movie looks to be freaking sweet, some of the deaths in this one, like the escalator...seem pretty epic. I cant wait to see this when it comes out this month. Here's the trailer:

Don't know if I want to see this or not. All I know, after watching the trailer in the theaters about a month ago, I don't look at escalators the same way again.

And the escalators at Atlanta Airport look even more monstrous.

I'm going to see Halloween 2, since the last time I checked, they came out the same day. But I might rent it on dvd some day, I don't know. I'm still pissed I actually BOUGHT Final Destination 3.

I'm a huge Halloween fan, so this movie never had a chance with me, in theaters anyway.

I still say the best deaths were the 2 women in the tanning beds from Final Destination 3.

You know, people are allowed now to see more than one movie in theaters.

If you were such a "huge Halloween fan" you would be staying away from the new flick. The first was such an abomination of a film and the second doesn't look any different. This coming from a fan of the original Halloween and a HUGE Rob Zombie fan/supporter.



Anyway, Final Destination 4 looks like some good 3D fun. I'll see it in theaters.

After I saw the last movie that came from this franchise, I knew I couldn't take this franchise serious anymore. The first two were pretty decent, but that third one was just s*** on a screen. I guess that movie was to be taken more lightly or something, but I felt I had to dumb myself down a little too much to enjoy that movie. This one looks to be that same movie, but with a bigger budget.

Why would you need to "Take the franchise serious(ly)." ?

Its a film series built on shock and gore, listen to the commentary in the first movie, it was done knowing full well that it was humorous.

What is with sequels like The Final Destination (no 4) and Fast and Furious that are exactly the same as the first title, but with the addition or omission of article words such as "The"? It's hardly important, but it's just... weird. Everybody's going to call it "------- 4" or whatever anyway... why not just title it that?

Goddamn, am I ever pissed at this film. Seriously. Not because it's bad or good... honestly, I wouldn't know. I couldn't even make out what was going on. Having only one eye, trying to watch a 3D-flick... it doesn't work too well.

If you feel like a detailed account of me watching the film, which has many a swearword in it, check out my rant, aptly titled One Eyed Man vs. 3D Movie - A Rant." And if you like it, leave a comment or something, I'd appreciate it, since maybe, just maybe, we can get something rolling here.

I don't understand why you would go to a 3D movie if you only have one eye. Wouldn't it make more sense to go to the 2D version...?

It would. But the 2D version didn't even hit big screens around here. You see, we don't have these Megaplex 30-screen cinema places. We have one with 8 screens, another one with five and they're all owned by the same company. And their newest fad is 3D. So FD didn't air in 2D.

But basically, it was my first and presumably only 3D movie I went to see. Besides, I expected it to not really work on me and so I could enjoy the film in 2D, while everyone thought random stuff was flying around, but it ended up being either more or less blurry.

I have very poor vision in my left eye, and when my right eye is open, the left eye just sort of gives up and lets the right one take dominance, but I've never had any problem with 3D movies. The visuals may not be as stimulating as they could have been, but they aren't blurry or confusing.
