AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The Movie Diorama When a franchise like 'Final Destination' takes an idea and utilises the same narrative structure throughout all of the sequels, you can't help but feel cheated by Death himself. However, you know what they all say *cue London accent* "if it ain't broke, don't fix it...init". This third instalment is more of the same. A group of friends cheat death from a freak accident involving a rollercoaster, they each slowly die in other accidents in the sequential order they would've died if they stayed on the ride. If you've seen its predecessors then you know exactly what you are getting into. Non-existent character development, a predictable plot and a series of absolute convenient accidents that are timed so precisely that you just have to admire the creativity involved. These accidents rely on so many components falling into place, whether it be a shelf locking two temperature rising sun beds together or an unmanned truck rolling down a hill and accurately slotting into a drive-thru, that actually they no longer become surprising. Unlike the first film, they aren't unexpected all. Death has clearly meticulously planned these gruesome scenes for our pleasure, so I thank him for that. Aside from that, this film has no substance whatsoever. The characters theorise the plot's structure before the first freak accident as they try to warn others that they are next in line, leaving no excitement or thrills to be had. At the narrative's core, it becomes predictably boring. That's certainly not Wong's fault who does showcase some excellent directing techn...wait, he wrote this too? Well, in that case it is his fault. The franchise's structure has now run its course. Inventive but lacking in substance and thrills. If only the producers had a premonition in 2009, we wouldn't have had even worse sequels. Oh, before I forget, what I will say is that I will never ever ever go on a sun bed. That scene scarred me for life when I was younger...or should I say, it was burnt into my mind...

Leofwine_draca Back in the '80s, this would have been a slasher film, with a physical killer murdering the teenagers in gruesome ways, one by one. Two decades later, the new millennium favours 'curse' type slasher movies, probably because of the Japanese influence This is the third entry in a film series in which the unseen presence of death claims teenagers one by one in increasingly inventive and gory ways.I saw the first FINAL DESTINATION at the cinema and loved it – a fun, gory horror film, unlike the kind they were making at the turn of the century. I ended up watching the second one on television and I didn't like it as much, finding it a sometimes insipid retread of the first film's antics. This one does away with any big storyline and just focuses on the unpleasant deaths, throwing in the angle of a camera that predicts the deaths (another familiar plot device; THE OMEN used it back in the '70s).In a way, this makes for a speedier, pared-down ride as there's no predictable set up or boring bits of exposition. We're just straight in the action (with the most mundane accident, at a carnival, yet) and then the gruesome deaths begin. The ante has been upped here and the weird kills are all very nasty – whether it's the naked girls frying on their sun beds or the car accident that sees part of a guy's head fly off. Blood sprays through the air freely and despite some dodgy CGI here and there, horror fans will have a ball with the level of gore on display. The bit with the nail gun is probably the most vicious of the entire franchise.I also liked the ending, which threatens to peter out but becomes another big set piece that ties up loose ends nicely. Seeing as how most of the cast are unlikeable or irritating, you won't mind much when they die. Mary Elizabeth Winstead displays little of the presence she showed in DIE HARD 4.0 and is a bland leading lady, while her friends and other teenagers are plain annoying – especially the token black guy, who they make the dumbest in the movie. Thankfully there's another Tony Todd cameo to enjoy, although this time it's his voice alone we here, as he plays the voice of the devil at the fairground. Unsurprisingly a fourth entry has been announced, with the added gimmick of 3D to get audiences to go and see it.

Paul Andre I love the Final Destiny film series but it gets too repetitive, a girl as the main protagonist, the girl saying "Why me?" (Just like FD2) The girl predicting the events, a man helping the main girl, if you came here for the blood,then, enjoy the fide cause you will find a lot of it, the deaths are cool tho, the whole amusement park theme was really good, the 180 flight throwback mention was really good, but it would have been much better if one of the films complement to the last one (not just the 1st film) but anyway I can't complain that much about this film, even though i hate how repetitive these films get i still gonna watch the rest of the movies lol If you're a fan of FD you will enjoy this film as much as i did, and it's a pretty awesome film to watch with your friends

statuskuo I've gotta admit, this movie got me. I was sucked into the movie even though...I already knew what's about to happen. There are no surprises. And it's (what Roger Ebert titles "Dead Teen Movies") formulaic. But it's a lot of fun watching a small spin on a tired genre.What I liked most, is the seriousness of how they approach the material. They clearly know their audience, as well as their thriller movie types. Not one of them is original. Nor should it be. You don't go to McDonald's expecting to eat lobster. For what they were able to accomplish, the gruesome deaths, the shock gore...it wins over the skeptical.If you stop to think about your time being your time to go, and if you cheat it, death gets peeved, it's a great concept. However, it'd be nice to know the people who have visions, where these come from, because there's obviously a contingent that wishes them a brighter future.
