Final Destination Bloodlines currently dominates Ballerina 85–15
Rube Goldberg horror buries Wick choreography — the death sequences dominate.
The Verdict Class of 2025
Bloodlines dominating Ballerina says that Lipovsky and Stein's death-sequence design is outperforming the most commercially successful action choreography template in modern cinema. The Final Destination premise — death as an invisible force correcting a cosmic error, each kill an elaborate mechanical consequence — gives every scene a tension that Ballerina's more conventional fight staging can't match. Wiseman's characters choose to fight. Bloodlines' characters are chosen by something they can't see or stop. The involuntary threat is apparently more compelling than the voluntary one. When your characters have no agency against the force that's killing them, the audience leans forward rather than back.
