On November 3, 2014 and October 8, 2014. Final Destination: ranking the movies in order of quality. Final Destination is the most existential horror franchise of them all. Its characters don’t get to hope for survival if they can outrun a man with a knife or shoot a zombie square in the head – they’re being hunted by Death itself, and there’s no escape. In Final Destination 5, Death is just as omnipresent as ever, and is unleashed after one man's premonition saves a group of coworkers from a terrifying suspension. Star Trek Into Darkness is a 2013 American science fiction action film directed by J. Abrams and written by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and Damon Lindelof. Anyone who has tried writing about history can tell you that the hardest part is knowing where to stop. This is the problem with Bill Morrison’s intelligent but at. LATEST HEADLINES. The Final Destination franchise masks its incredibly bleak message with bright colours and inventive Mousetrap- style killings, but at heart, they’re about how everyone dies one day, and the whole world is out to get you. Hardly anyone lives to the end of a Final Destination movie; the ones that do generally have to go to extreme measures, and it’s implied they won’t last long beyond the credits. Given the lack of survivors to tie one film to the next, it’s kind of surprising that New Line and Warner Bros have managed to make five of these movies, but since they have, let’s try putting them into some kind of order. The Final Destination (2. No- one’s going to argue with this, are they? The fourth Final Destination film, which inexplicably lost the '4' from its title, is the nadir of the franchise. It’s just arse. The opening scene at the Mc. Kinley Speedway track pretty much sets the tone. It lacks the wow factor of the opening disasters in some of the other movies, and just feels a bit uninspired. At their best, the premonition scenes in Final Destination movies tap into universal fears, pointing out just how fraught with danger our everyday lives are. But the kind of high speed racing the kids are watching at the beginning of The Final Destination is obviously dangerous. Okay, so crashes aren’t that common, and if you’re a spectator you certainly wouldn’t expect to get horrifically killed at one of those races but it just doesn’t have the same sense of surprise and menace that a huge pileup on a normal road has. It certainly doesn’t feel universal. And it all looks rubbish. The Final Destination movies are all about showy, over the top death scenes, but just take a minute to rewatch the opening scenes of The Final Destination. Horrible, no? It looks cheap, and there’s no real variety. It’s just people getting killed by flaming car parts landing on them. The reason everything looks so crap is simple: it was designed to be seen in 3. D. Every kill has something popping out of the screen at the viewer, to the point where the only 3. D horror movie more obnoxious is Friday The 1. Part III (and even then only because The Final Destination doesn’t have a yoyo in it). Final Destination is a pretty gimmicky franchise at the best of times, and the 3. D nonsense doesn’t help. It’s a shame, because this film shouldn’t be this bad. It was written by Eric Bress, who also wrote Final Destinations 2 and 3, and directed by the late David R. Ellis, who was also responsible for Snakes On A Plane and the underrated Cellular as well as Final Destination 2. These guys should’ve known better, and yet, we get an uninspired opening scene, utterly forgettable characters, and a dopey scene that plagiarises Chuck Palahniuk’s grossest short story but sucks out all the horror. As a final insult, Tony Todd doesn’t feature in this movie, at all. Not even his voice. Final Destination 2 (2. There’s a sizeable jump in quality between The and 2, but that still doesn’t mean 2 is particularly good. It’s overly complicated, and a bit dopey. But it’s got some seriously great sequences in it, and that goes some way towards saving it. To begin with, there’s that spectacular pile- up premonition scene at the beginning. Driving is scary, there are lots of things that can go wrong, and that sequence is the perfect distillation of all the worst possible scenarios. I still get nervous if I have to drive behind a van transporting logs, or with a ladder on the roof, or basically anything I imagine could come crashing down and through my windscreen to murder me. Then there are the nightmarishly elaborate kills later in the movie. The lift one is nasty, as is the barbed wire one, and the one with the leftover spaghetti is probably one of the best sequences in the entire franchise. So why is it so far down the list overall? Well, mostly because it’s overly complicated. Check the credits and you’ll see three writers credited: Jeffrey Reddick, J. Mackye Gruber, and Eric Bress. The credits get split a few different ways, with Reddick credited for characters and story while Gruber and Bress are down for writing the story and the screenplay, but whichever way you slice it, that’s three people working on a story that should be pretty simple. Instead, it’s convoluted. It suffers from a common sequel problem, where the filmmakers are trying to make sure it’s similar enough to the original movie to satisfy the fans while being different enough to stand alone, and the result is kind of a mess. There are two main things wrong with it: it tries to tie up the loose ends from the first movie but only brings back one of the two survivors; and it hasn’t quite figured out Death’s rules, so makes up some loopholes about pregnancy and order skipping. It’s confusing rather than clever, and just doesn’t feel as satisfying as the first movie’s simple rule that if you’re meant to be dead, you’re gonna die. Final Destination 5 (2. Another jump in quality here; to be honest, there’s not much to set the odd- numbered Final Destination movies apart from one another, and you could probably argue pretty convincingly that any of these three are the best of the franchise. But I have to put them in order or this article will be way too short, so here goes. Final Destination 5 was, like The Final Destination, shot in 3. D. Somehow, though, that doesn’t make it crap. Also, it attempts to circle back and fit itself into the chronology of an earlier movie, and yet unlike Final Destination 2, it doesn’t feel confusing. It feels, instead, super satisfying. It somehow swerves the pitfalls that those two lesser movies fell for, and also delivers on the spectacle and terror front. And it’s funny. Somehow, it revived the franchise that seemed to have run out of ideas, and made us all remember what we liked about these movies in the first place. Let’s start with the key disaster, because that’s the beginning of the film. Final Destination 5 delivers another driving disaster, but this time it’s not a crash, it’s a collapse. Which is brilliant. Who hasn’t felt a bit nervous about the stability of the bridge they were walking/driving/riding over? It also allows for some pretty dramatic death scenes, and while there’s still some 3. D silliness, the effects look considerably more convincing than those in The Final Destination. Also, unlike 2 and The, all the people who get saved by the beginning premonition know one another. It shouldn’t make a difference to the storytelling – actually, having a disparate group of potential victims ought to make for a better film – but somehow the Final Destination movies seem to work better when everyone knows everyone else. Maybe it just makes for a more interesting dynamic when you actually care about the people around you dying. Other notable things about this movie: it includes a death caused by laser eye surgery, which is horrifying; it integrates Tony Todd’s creepy coroner into the plot properly; and it features a character trying out a method of cheating Death that actually might work, and makes sense within the film’s chronology. If the scales of life and death are imbalanced, it seems like there’s a pretty simple way of rebalancing them without necessarily having to die yourself, right? The twist at the end of Final Destination 5 is oddly brilliant, especially because it’s possible to watch the whole film without picking up on any clues. No fifth instalment in a horror franchise has any right to be this much fun – the credit for the fact that it is goes to writer Eric Heisserer and director Stephen Quale. Nice work, guys. 2. Final Destination (2. Here’s where you’re going to shout at me. The first Final Destination movie is, in retrospect, pretty great. But it’s not the best movie in the franchise. Critically, it was thoroughly panned when it was released, despite its popularity with audiences. So what’s the deal? Final Destination might just have been in the right place at the wrong time. The idea for the film came from a spec script Jeffrey Reddick wrote for The X Files, which was still on the air at the time. Somehow he was convinced to turn it into a full- length movie instead (minus Mulder and Scully) but the show stayed in its DNA, as X Files writers James Wong and Glen Morgan picked up the project, did a rewrite, and turned it into the movie we know today. When it was released in 2. Final Destination was perceived. It’s got the same sort of hip young cast as something like Scream – it’s even got a then- hot TV actor in the form of Dawson’s Creek’s Kerr Smith – and it’s got a sort of broadly similar tone, with snarky, self- aware characters. But it is a different kind of film. It’s not riffing on horror clich. It’s insidious, it gets under your skin, but it’s not scary in the way we’re used to horror movies being scary. Because we know the characters will all die, the fear we feel for them is lessened; when there’s no possibility of another outcome, there’s no real tension. It’s only when you’ve had time to digest the movie and realise how that applies to all of us, too, that it starts to seem terrifying. In the meantime, you can either roll your eyes at or enjoy the elaborate death sequences; there’s a particularly good one in Final Destination that really highlights the importance of using the correct receptacles for your beverages. Something to think about, before we move on: Final Destination was known as “Flight 1. If it had been, we probably wouldn’t have got the sequels we did – or maybe any sequels at all? Final Destination 3 (2. That just leaves one movie to take the crown of the best Final Destination of them all, and for my money, that’s Final Destination 3. Film Horror in Streaming HD Gratis ITA.

Everything in the episode seems completely against continuity, the characters act like they're on tranquilizers, and nothing makes sense within the pre- established context. If the show has a continuity, this episode will probably never be mentioned again, save perhaps as a throwaway joke, and none of the likely wild events will ever be repeated. This effect is usually caused by an episode being Something Completely Different or an Out- of- Genre Experience. If every episode is like this, a summary may mention that it's That Kind Of Show. Rarely, though, a Bizarro Episode may be redeemed if a skillful or cunning writer uses it to construct an Innocuously Important Episode. Also not to be confused with a Bizarro Universe or the episodes involving one; the Bizarro Universe is justified according to some in- universe logic, while the Bizarro Episode can be equally different from normal continuity but there's not necessarily any in- universe reason for things to be that different from normal. When The Movie is this or one spontaneous series of eventsirrelevant to any previously established continuity see Non- Serial Movie. For a frequent justification, see All Just a Dream. Has nothing to do with Superman's reverse counterpart. A tribute to H. P. Lovecraft written by Chiaki Konaka that was occasionally referenced, but never fully explained. Every eighth episode (except episode 3. Not that you're likely to notice the first time in the middle of the giant WTF it induces. As the Only Sane Man, Ichigo's convinced it's All Just a Dream. The question is, whose dream? This was such a successful episode, a Hallowe'en sequel was done for the Japanese New Year, set in a Monster Mash setting. Ichigo remembers his last dream experience episode all too well. Once again he's the Only Sane Man. Yet again, the mystery lies with the identity of the dreamer. The animators are not above teasing the characters and settings during fillers but even the ones that attempt to be serious can be very much at odds with the official setting and feeling of the show. Barely- There Swimwear, Gag Boobs, Female Gaze, Male Gaze, fundoshis, Reluctant Fanservice Girl, Shameless Fanservice Girl, Walking Shirtless Scene, Wardrobe Malfunction, you name it, the episode has it. There are even naughty tentacles. Of course, this is really All Just a Dream, but surprisingly, the entire episode is not only entirely in continuity but it actually is important for developing several of the characters. Especially Haruhi's mom, who doesn't appear in person in any other episode. Because she's dead. The only thing relevant to the plot is Kittan and his sisters being introduced, wearing psychedelic costumes while riding cows backwards. The consumption of Boota's tail is instrumental in defeating this episode's enemy mecha, which is piloted by a bunch of pink puffballs that are supposedly beastmen but look nothing like any of the beastmen seen before or since (which are generally human- animal hybrids to varying degrees). Supposedly episode 4 was made as a jab at other anime that decrease in overall quality after the first few episodes, but it was still effed up. In this episode Ash and the crew get off a boat on a beach, Brock spots a mysterious girl and falls head- over- heels, but Ash and Misty miss her completely.

Team Rocket gets off the same boat, and James suffers the same situation. They run into a strange old woman, who informs them of this condition, and the next day, both of them are kidnapped by the ghost. When they are found, they have become completely obsessed with the girl, and the old woman from the earlier scene explains that the girl is a spirit who wishes to steal their souls. The spirit turns out to be a Pok. However, the sun rises and Gastly vanishes. The Gastly was also the old woman, actually working for the sake of ''real'' Maiden, who stood watching at a cliff waiting for her lover to return from a voyage and promises to one day find her lost lover. And also to make some money on the side,but that's never really adequately explained either. Brock, May, and Max lose Ash in the woods. Ash meets a cloaked woman in the middle of the woods who is singing a little song about Baltoy and treasure. She has an old book, but Ash doesn't pay it or her much attention at the time. Later, he meets a much younger girl who's searching for a treasure with (you guessed it) her Baltoy. By viewing our video content you are accepting the terms of our Video Services Policy. She tells Ash she's searching for a treasure hidden somewhere in the woods, and opens a little book that talks about the treasure. It has a little song in it, which she starts singing. Ash interrupts and starts singing the rest, recognizing the song is the same one the woman was singing. The girl is surprised since the book only just came out. Ash explains about the woman and they eventually find her battling Team Rocket. They win and she takes them to a cave, where they fall down a hole in the floor, leading to a tunnel. As they reach the end of the tunnel, the woman takes off her cloak's hood, revealing herself to be an older version of the girl. She then explains that the giant stone tablet thing at the end of the cave is a time machine activated by a Baltoy. Then she goes back to the future. Then the girl leaves and Ash meets back up with his friends. AND ASH NEVER SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT THE TIME MACHINE!!! Only instead of a Stable Time Loop, they end up changing the course of history so that a guy doesn't die anymore and a town expands into a city. And instead of a time machine they get zapped by a magic locket. Because of love, or something. Anyway, neither May nor Meowth sees fit to tell anyone about the whole futzing about with time. It's probably one of the funniest and second most surreal episode in recent history and needs to be seen to be believed. The episode also marks the first time Pikachu is referred to as male in the Japanese dub. This doesn't stop him from getting shipped with Piplup, especially considering what happened seven episodes later.. A GIANT CLAYDOL. Even funnier is that the Claydol actually falls in love with and chases Wobbuffet! One episode of X and Y has Ash and Pikachu taken through a mirror into a parallel universe with psychedelic colours and everyone's personality is opposite to the normal world. Mirror! Ash is a timid crybaby, Mirror! Clemont is an athletic wizard, Mirror! Serena is a loud mouthed Jerk with a Heart of Gold (and has a Kansai Regional Accent in the Japanese dub), Mirror! Bonnie is prim and proper with no sign of her usual Little Miss Snarker attitude and Mirror! Team Rocket are servants of Justice. It's revealed that if someone stays past sunset, they can never return to their original world. Normal! Team Rocket also turn up in the mirror world and are shown to not make it back before sunset, but show up in the next episode anyway with no explanation. The whole thing is never mentioned again. In one episodenote . Note that these oddities were only present in the Japanese version, with the dubbed versions instead showing Pidgeotto and Cubone respectively. Between the quarter- finals and the semi- finals of the Battle City tournament, they arrive on a submersible military base and have to fight the digitised minds of all previous high ranking officials of Kaiba. Corp in a mindscrewed reality, at the behest of Seto Kaiba's anime- exclusive. Virtual Ghost half- brother, Noah. The season also introduced the Deck Master to the games, a process that makes no sense whatsoever (but what else is new). And to secure it as a total BLAM, the digital mind of Kaiba's father tries to turn into a giant being of fire and eat their jet as it's leaving. Lampshaded when Kaiba says he never wants any of them to mention it again. And Tristan gets turned into a monkey. Lay off the crazy juice, Japanimators. In the middle of a season- long arc of finding the Three Emperors of Ylliaster, let's intercut a Noah- like arc in the Wild West involving a former villain from Season 2, and put Yusei in a poncho. Needless to say, until the real season started getting hit with Wham after Wham, this was the point in which fans were starting to wonder whether the cast had used their Duel Runners to jump the shark. The story had just come off its first true Story Arc, which introduced the first Millennium Item wielder other than Yugi and set up a whole bunch of things that wouldn't pay off for years of real- time. The very next chapter is a lighthearted romp about Tamagotchi- style digital pets, and a bully who has his pets kill all his classmates' pets. This wouldn't be all that strange were it not for the strongly implied fact that the digital pets are alive, and even that would be only moderately strange were it not for the fact that not a single Shadow Game is played in this chapter; the Shadow Games have been repeatedly demonstrated to bring the pieces involved to life, but this is the one and only chapter in the series where sentient game pieces seem to exist without a Shadow Game. Very little of what happens here is mentioned again, made especially jarring by the fact that Strain is only a thirteen- episode anime. A very brief and light Lampshade Hanging later, and next episode, it's like none of this ever happened. Lampshaded by Ed in the . It was a short series, but thanks for your support. That was the last episode. May they all rest in peace. Wait a minute! Lampshaded at the very end when the creator of the manga shows up, ready to kill the director because of it. Apparently they were trying to figure out what Kakashi looked like without his mask, but that didn't make sense. Two of the main villains are giant men shaped like giant Russian dolls (tiny at the top and wide at the bottom) and equally bottomless; their battle cry is !
