Summary
Reviewers say 'Final Destination 3' offers creative and gory death scenes, praised as a highlight. However, many criticize its lack of originality, repetitive plot, and unlikable characters. Seen as weaker than predecessors, it fails to recapture the freshness and surprise of earlier films. Despite this, it remains entertaining for series fans.
Featured reviews
Final Destination 3 is basically the same film as Final Destination only this time its a roller coaster crash not a plane exploding that disrupts deaths plan.
With some cool and very gory death scenes, an all new cast, and the same creepy, death's coming to get you feel as the first two films. This turns out to be way better than i would have expected.
I highly recommend you see the first 2 films as well, even if they aren't required viewing as far as understanding the plot goes.
6/10 its the worst of the three, but only because it no longer has the freshness and originality, it is still just as much fun to watch.

With the 3 the saga almost returns to the levels of the first for fantasy of the deaths and adds a little plot stuff to make the film become slightly more interesting and not the exact copy of the predecessor.
Entertaining follow-up and again with horrifying killings . Eerie chiller with portentous special effects and results to be a nasty piece of work . This sequel of successful original by James Wong deals with a beautiful student of a High School senior named Wendy Christensen ( Maria Elizabeth Winstead ) who along with her friends go to a theme park and decide to go on a large roller coaster . There Wendy has a vision and aware which by avoiding it, she and others ( Ryan Merryman , Texas Battle, Chelan Simmons , Amanda Crew ..) around her have saved but soon begin dying in bizarre accidents . The girl's premonition of a deadly roller-coaster ride saves her life and a lucky few, but not from death itself which seeks out those who escaped their fate . Amusement and entertainment resides from attempting to guess which of the ludicrously over-determined potential hazards will deliver the creepy killings .
In this third installment of the ¨Final Destination¨ series appears none character repeating from former entries , it displays suspense, tension, thrills, and creepy deaths . The chief excitement lies in seeing what new and astonishing victim can be dreamt by the believable FX technicians . Movie exist for only aim of murdering its protagonists and all around in terrifying realistic detail . Death seem to dispatch new weird killing every few minutes of movie, throughout crashing, beheading , blowing up , crushing, burning , etc . Here death is a mere computer generator FX , the ultimate gross-out show . It's frightening and entertaining though predictable but we have seen the original with similar and interesting premise . Although its predictability is redeemed in part by the charismatic acting of protagonists and all around . Colorful and appropriate cinematography by Robert McLachlan . Thrilling musical score fitting to action and suspense by Shirley Walker . The motion picture is written by Glen Morgan and professionally directed by James Wong , though without originally because of going on the similar argument to former outings , being a fresh fodder . Wong has a long career as writer , producer : X-files and finally filmmaker , directing Box office success such as ¨The one¨, ¨Final destination¨ and the flop ¨Dragon ball¨. Followed by more sequels.

With no villain and impossible yet plausible deaths, final destination has a high octane creep factor that will keep you on edge for weeks after. The third installment is no exception. Wild deaths, decent acting, and no storyline necessary. This movie screams the 2000s, a girl with her flip phone and highlights.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead's performance is incredible, most of the black comedy is effective and the death scenes are creative and memorablegive. Giving you the feeling of death being everywhere despite also having a more cartoonish vibe. People scared of rollercoasters sure as hell aren't changing their minds anytime soon if they see this movie. Not to mention the occasional moments of intelligence in the script regarding death's design. Part 3 is far from the perfect slasher sequel and not as good as part 2 but it's still entertaining enough to make it a cut above the rest when it comes to slasher movies.
Did you know
- TriviaTony Todd, who portrayed William Bludworth in Final Destination (2000) and Final Destination 2 (2003) provides the voice of the devil above the entrance to the roller coaster. He also provides the speaker's voice saying, "This is the end of the line" in the subway towards the end of the film.
- Goofs(at around 4 mins) Wendy uses the schools camera for the yearbook, saying that she has to turn in the pictures for a deadline. But in the scene where she is picking up her diploma (at around 24 mins) everyone already has their yearbooks. Later, Julie asks to use the camera to get pictures of graduation to meet deadline.
- Quotes
Ian McKinley: Equal... in death's eyes? All of us? How can you say that? Dude, think it through: Charlie Manson, made it to 70, Osama, still kicking. Pimps, vice presidents, walking around, all the atrocities they've committed, they're alive and well. These two girls, never done shit to anybody, they don't get to make it to 18. Where's the fucking equality in that?
- Crazy creditsAt the end of the credits you will hear the mortician (William Bludworth) laugh.
- Alternate versionsThe free preview bonus DVD that came packaged with the "Final Destination: Scared 2 Death Pack" featured an extended version of the scene where Wendy and Kevin are being escorted off the roller coaster by security. In this version, they don't cut away to show the roller coaster flying off the tracks. Instead you only hear the accident as a horrified Wendy witnesses the incident.
