The Final Destination

"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."

"There used to be entertainment in the dodging and wit in the scripts; now there’s 3-D."

"If you haven’t seen the previous three Final Destination films, you’ve been missing out on perhaps the most fun horror franchise of the decade. This is the fourth film of the franchise and I'm happy to say it's my favourite yet..."

"Though this latest entry has an OK sense of humor, moves swiftly enough and sports an effective opening sequence of racetrack destruction that puts its Fusion 3-D technology to good use, it mostly comes off as a particularly flimsy excuse to string together a bunch of gory killings."

"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."

"The novelty factor stops and starts at the 3-D specs: this is a horror movie on tracks, not going anyplace new. Still, there’s some inventive grue-splashing as always."
