The final destination franchise has always been a unique entry in the scary style. Unlike other horror films, where the villain can be fought, tricked, or even killed, the final destination presents a replication that is completely invincible – death. No matter how far you walk or you try to avoid it, death always finds a way to gather in a way that he is outstanding.

But what the final destination makes even more complicated does how it plays over time. While fans initially admitted that films were released in chronological order, a major turn in the final destination 5 (2011) changed everything. People with sharp eyes and good memory realized that the fifth film was actually a prequel for the first final destination (2000).

Large disclosure in final destination 5

First of all, the final destination 5 series looked just like another installment, after the same pattern – someone has a terrible premiere of a disaster, warns others, and some lucky people survive, only to start choosing them one by one. However, in the final moments of the film, everything was suddenly clicked on the place.

The climax showed the main characters riding in an aircraft, only one young man was being dragged by the plane. The young man was none other than Alex Browning, who was the hero of the last destination earlier. In the first film, Alex had a vision that the aircraft would explode in the middle-hwa, which would be removed for him and some other people before the take-off.

In the final destination 5, we see the event from a different perspective, confirming that the entire film was a prequel. The story was secretly set in 1999–2000 just before the original film events.

With this turn, the tomb timeline now looks like this:

1. Last destination 5 (1999-2000)
2. Last destination (2000)
3. Last Destination 2 (2003)
4. Last Destination 3 (2006)
5. Last Destination (2009)

This means that, in addition to the fifth film, all the franchise films follow a proper chronological sequence.

Why the final destination can go forever

One of the most attractive aspects of the final destination is that it does not depend on physical villains such as Freddy Croetor, Jason Wurhes or Michael Myers. Instead, the opponent is death – an eternal force that cannot be stopped. The death is not like Thanos, which can be hit by a ax by Thor. Death is unavoidable, and this makes the franchise so unstable. Films can continue indefinitely, cheat deaths with new groups of people, only to hunt them later.

Last Destination: Bloodlines – Next Chapter

The upcoming film, the final destination bloodlines has introduced a deeper relationship between all previous films. The trailer suggests that in the 1970s, in the 80s, a woman had a premiere during a party and managed to warn everyone on time, saving her life. But here it is interesting that it becomes interesting – all those who died in the final destination 1 to 5 were the most likely descendants of those who remain. This shows that death never really forgets – it keeps the records of all those who were dead, but survived, and it comes back to them later, even if it takes generations.

This is not only about avoiding death at this time – it is about how survival can come at a cost for future generations. The franchise has always indicated that death follows its set of its rules, but bloodlines suggest that death is more than anyone’s imagination.

With the final destination: Bloodlines bring fresh twists to the franchise, it is clear that films will be understood as long as death is present. Because in the end, there is a universal truth – you cannot cheat death.
