Luckily, the movies do not encourage you to think at all. Is there a cosmic battle of good and evil here at play in which the teens are mere pawns? What is the supernatural force that allows these teens to temporarily escape their fate, and why does it do that when it knows that the teens are going to die in even worse ways over the coming weeks. If you think about it, the Final Destination films raise some big questions about theology. The message being that you can cheat death for a time, but you cannot outrun it together. Though they escape that specific death, the teens are then picked off one by one. The general formula of the Final Destination franchise (the final three of which are streaming now on Netflix) is that a teenager opens the film by having a premonition of their upcoming bloody death, which stops them doing whatever activity they were doing in that premonition. Final Destination breaks this rule from the very beginning, with characters dying from horrific shower accidents, falling neon signs and being decapitated by metal shards. The general rule of horror movies is that the first movie in the franchise has pretty straightforward kills and the weirder stuff comes in the sequels.
