April 11, 2012I am constantly amazed when I see folks knocking this series. Unlike me, they must have no sense of humor. For me, this series represents some of the greatest comedies ever made. Even if I've seen one of them before, I still love to watch the build up to the way in which the n... read more

March 8, 2012Always been a fool for this series, and this fifth installment is no exception.

February 23, 2012A decent entry into the series, a step up from the 4th. I didn't get to see it in 3d but imagine it was pretty good. Very big opening scene, and plenty of inventive "accidents" and gore. You know what to expect for most of it. Thought the ending was a nice touch!

January 31, 2012Supposedly finished with the last movie, this is a decent whack at the original format. Although pretty much all the deaths were foretold in the trailer, there were a good few curveballs thrown in. I especially liked the reverting to before the original film.

January 30, 2012It's not often that the fifth entry in a series is one of the best efforts, but Final Destination 5 pulls it off. It's still mostly the same scenario with new deaths and new actors, but the formula is tweaked a bit to make it interesting again.
As for the deaths, overall I'd say... read more -
January 28, 2012I like to think I'm a pretty hardy film-goer, but this certainly tested my limits. Final Destination 5 is not for the faint of heart, but the excessive violence and gore is a lot of fun if you can withstand it. This is the first Final Destination film I've seen, but it certainly ... read more

January 28, 2012If there was any cosmic justice the Final Destination franchise would have been KO'd by death a long time ago. The initial interest of bizarre, fiendishly clever deaths and the constant macabre misdirection was fun, but now, after five movies, feels creatively exhausted. Once aga... read more

January 16, 2012A guy has a premonition that a bridge that he is on will collapse. He convinces people to get off the bus. But death follows them. I didn't like the eye laser surgery scene.

January 14, 2012Fans of this franchise know precisely what to expect, and the film delivers it with wit and flair.

Nigel Floyd, Time Out
It sticks to gimmicky scenes in which twentysomethings are dispatched in ingenious ways, but first-time director Steven Quayle delivers cheap fun that will keep fans happy. Full Review

Bruce Diones, New Yorker
A surprising infusion of energy and macabre humor reanimates this horror franchise. Full Review

Eric D. Snider, Film.com
The death sequences are fun; unfortunately, nearly everything in between is tedious and mechanical. Full Review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Director Steven Quale stages the death scenes with intermittently effective black humour to juice up a premise that, essentially, has all the suspense of watching the line at an abattoir. Full Review

Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
Under the direction of James Cameron protegé Steven Quayle, the visual effects from Ariel Velasco Shaw (who has crafted mayhem on everything from 300 to Freddy vs. Jason) ensure that no industrial hoo... Full Review

Aaron Hillis, Village Voice
So tapped into its audience's giddy schadenfreude that beyond a kinkier-than-usual jolt of black humor and some clever red herrings, the formula remains rote... Full Review

From the opening credits to the final kill this film displays a great use of 3-D. Full Review

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
A long and eventually tedious series of deaths, all in slightly sickening 3-D. Splattered eyeballs, snapped spines, heart kebabs - one numbingly after another, in diamond-hard focus and ruby-red color. Full Review

Kyle Smith, New York Post
A suspenseful and macabre exercise in dread for the absurdly cosseted. Full Review
