Saw this awhile ago, and still haunted when I think of it. Have to echo Antony Meadly's comment that the one thing I hated was the bit where out of the blue, the thing is explained neatly and tidily. This isn't really necessary, and isn't true to the spirit of the film. (Feels like something that was tacked on, perhaps after test audiences felt confused and unsettled without it. One hopes- if it was intended from the outset chalk it up as the only major mistake made.)
If you like your plots all wrapped up in a shiny package, and tied with a silver bow, this sort of thing isn't for you, and you really should cut down on the 30-minute sitcoms. Comparing Final Destination to this as a superior execution of the concept is ridiculous, since FD is simply another gimmicky, gory, horror/suspense flick (though effective for what it is).
This movie is about disturbing you, not enlightening. I think certain types of personalities simply don't like this sort of thing, and (without meaning any disrespect) value clear, simple plot lines and resolutions above whatever mood or feeling might be created in a film. I'm clearly not in this camp, but if you are, you should give this film a miss.
