A horrifying premonition saves a young man and his friends from death during a racetrack accident but terrible fates await them nonetheless.
Widely considered the low point of the franchise, the film leans almost entirely on 3D gimmickry while stripping away the inventive setpiece construction and character work that made earlier entries work. Critics found little to defend beyond the gore, and even that felt routine.
“With an array of gory mayhem only marginally enhanced by 3-D and a plot as developed as a text message, The Final Destination may finally sound the death knell for New Line's near-immortal horror franchise.”
Jordan Mintzer·Variety
“The new gimmick here is that all the flying body parts and absurd impalements come in 3D. And that's about as inspired as anything gets in this edition. Story and character get chucked to the sidelines as the arena has room for only death scenes.”
