March 17, 2012On a day out at a car race, Nick has a premonition that there is a car crash and the stands collapse. He saves his girlfriend and some other people in the audience. But death follows.

March 12, 2012I have to say I expected much more from David R. Ellis as I thought the second Final Destination was really good. The writing is lazy, the acting is crap, the characters were unlikable and totally forgettable and the special effects, which is why people watch the film in the firs... read more

January 3, 2012I have watched all the final destinations except the first one! Damn.
But I'd say the second one is better than this. First time I found a movie like this (sequel looks better than the beginning one). -
December 6, 2011fb729949618Some of the worst CGI I have ever seen. Considering this film was made in 2009, there should be no excuse! There is nothing new here as far as the script goes, just the same ol same (everyone dies in a certain order). ZZZZZZ goodnight.

August 31, 2011Well, you can't blame them for trying. In it's defense, I did rewind a couple of the death sequences. It's a formula that can't fail those that know what to expect. Unlike the first installment, the characters really have no life before they are killed, making this even emptier. ... read more

August 19, 2011Although the others were pretty bad, this was awful. It was supposed to be the final one so it should have topped all the others. As usual the acting was bad and unfortunately they came up with nothing new plot-wise. Waste of time.

August 18, 2011Stupidest horror movie ever, what a terrible and gut wrenching disaster, i hated, hated hated, hated, this (excuse my language) bullshit.

August 13, 2011fb733768972This series has really hit it's lowest point. They are now trying to do whatever they can to base the movie solely on the deaths at hand and not even care about making a new way to tell the story. I watched this film, turned my brain off, had a lot of fun, but never really cared ... read more

August 2, 2011How many times have they not recycled the same premise now? And apparently even a 5th movie is on its way. I guess one the reasons I still watch them is because I can relate somewhat to their basic concept. I don't claim myself to be a psychic or anything, but there have been tim... read more

[A] silly and predictable fourth installment in the lucrative thriller series about pretty young people attempting to cheat death. Full Review

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
With the exception of Williamson, the actors are as disposable as their characters, and there is no story to speak of. Full Review

Death comes in 3D but everything else is tedious.

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Once again, a group of pretty young things who have escaped the opening disaster proceed to die, one by one, as fate catches up with them. Full Review

Death, Be Not Boring would have been a better title for this fourth installment in the teen splatter franchise. Full Review

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
The Final Destination is the movie equivalent of a struggling strip-mall store wedged between Metro PCS and a pawn shop. Someone please foreclose. Full Review

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
It's not frightening in the least, with only a few amusing moments, a pedal-and-forehead-to-the-metal race track crash opener, and then you just keep time by counting off who survives the initial slau... Full Review

Whatever hints of originality lay in the series' previous editions have been all but sucked out of this one. Full Review

Simon Miraudo, Quickflix
Imagine a film that features an endless cavalcade of people being eviscerated in the bloodiest and bone-snappiest of ways, yet which somehow manages to inspire the audience to envy the victims. Full Review
