Upon rewatch, this has topped the Final Destination 2 intro for me.

Be sure to watch in 4K.



It's missing the slow build-up at the beginning and the finale scene at the end, but you get it…

The movie is Final Destination Bloodlines.

 

[HRK69]

That's not Saving Private Ryan

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Bloodlines is legit awesome, but nah FD2 opening montage is still the peak.

 

[DaciaJC]

Be sure to watch in 4K.

Why? Most of the scene is crappy CGI.

[ResurrectedContrarian]

the very first shot of the kid throwing the penny looked like polar express weirdness to me

 

[spons]

 

[xrnzaaas]

Nah, doesn't even come close to FD2. The scene on the highway is much more believable and that's what it makes it cool to watch and rewatch. Despite its age it also hides the CGI really well, not like Bloodlines.

 

[Bert Big Balls]

It's not Inglorious Basterds. Ergo, nah.

 

[Bert Big Balls]

Ha, just commented about the same thing. This is hands down the best movie opening I've ever seen. The way it all builds up to Landa completely changing his demeanour and the guards coming in, incredible.

 

[roosnam1980]

the best

These motherfuckers are dancing on a cracked glass floor.

 

[Futaleufu]

"Everyone down the stairs"
So they've been running in circles the whole time?

 

[AJUMP23]

Recency bias with the OPs opinion. There are many movies with much more interesting sequences. Some of which are here.

So final destination is a comedy now?

 

[adamsapple]

Yes.

Came to post this, glad I wasn't disappointed.

au revoir shoshanna !

Lol, that was a great opening. Doesn't beat FD2, but that was still fun. I definitely want to see this in theaters.

 

[touchfuzzy]

This a good one too

 

[Boralf]

Huh, this isn't 4k.



And this sure as hell isn't.

Edit: also some great other openings scenes in the topic.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

Drive opening scene is amazing. But it feels criminal not to get the title sequence that follows immediately after:

 

[sono]

For me the best opening scene is from the movie Contact.

Absolutely agree!

I wouldn't want to go up to the space needle on just general principles. Because of FD2, when I see a log truck, I start having heart palpitations.

It was always a comedy.

 

[Insane Metal]

Come on dude. It's good but not that good.

 

[zaga]

Hard to top the opening scene of Anora

 

[chromhound]

 

[Wildebeest]

You knew what you were doing.

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

I dunno man. The first film covered some pretty important elements of the human psyche, friendship, morality and social issues in commentary America. Tony Todd also gave his all for his last feature film.

 

[12Goblins]

That was dumb as shit OP.

 

[Badlucktroll]

That's not Saving Private Ryan

came to post this. also my favorite opening credits is this

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

You knew what you were doing.

...also the greatest film of all time

 

[lughnasadh123]

 

[LimanimaPT]

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom comes to mind.
Edit: heck, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark comes to mind too.

 

[j0hnnix]

Bloodlines intro definitely rocked my subwoofers.

 

[bitbydeath]

some GREAT ones already posted, so I'm gonna put something a little out of the left field here.

It's CGI
Couldn't take more than a minute of it.

The Revenge of the Sith has a better CGI opening than this teen trash.

 

[RSLAEV]

OP must have copied the wrong URL by mistake here lemme fix that for you:

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

That's not Saving Private Ryan

1:34 a little cameo of Popeye?

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

Maybe some can let insure slide when they clearly meant ensure, but I am not that forgiving of a horse. At least they fixed it in the sequel. But... ya know... totally takes me out of the opening.
