Critics Consensus

Final Destination 3 is more of the same: gory and pointless, with nowhere new to go.

Lessons of Darkness

Vapid, pointless and wholly predictable.

Austin Chronicle

In its own morbid little way, this is very much a stand-up-and-cheer -- or shriek, as the case may be -- kind of film.

Rated: 2.5/5

‘Final Destination 3’ is a fan favourite for a reason: the death scenes are the most visually horrific ones so far in the franchise, and the cast are fantastic.

Wong and co- writer Glen Morgan have again carefully and craftily plotted their set pieces, encouraging the audience to search for clues in, and out, of the frame.

Once again, Final Destination has outdone itself. Not sure if the next one will outdo this one as this was amazing and the next one is the subject of absolute vitriol from the fanbase, but this was absolutely spectacular. Let's just get started. As this is a standalone sequel to Final Destination 2, it's not connected to the first two films and we don't need to talk about the connections. But the plot is still interesting: it's a rollercoaster this time and we see Wendy getting fully affected by losing people close to her in the accident. But this time, they fully get into looking for the signs and clues about how they'll die. It's an exploration of the concept in more detail, essentially. But the best part of the movie for me is the vibe. Especially at the theme park, it has the nostalgic vibe of a school trip at night where everyone's hanging out and having fun, as much fun as they can have at least. And the sombre vibe after the rollercoaster accident is a big departure from the vibes of this film's predecessors, but good as it shows what Wendy's feeling. Great film overall. Overall, a great standalone sequel to Final Destination 2. Gonna be a bit before the next one but I look forward to it!

Final destination 3 is the best sequel ever is easily one of the franchise’s finest, with a killer setting—a collapsing rollercoaster that hits a universal fear—and some of the most iconic deaths in the series. Winstead is wonderful

I love all of the Final Destination movies. It's all complete drivel but they're always so so fun. This one wasn't necessarily as good as the second one or the first one, I definitely think that the series could have ended with FD2.

“This Ride Will Be The Death Of You.” I thought roller coasters were scary. This just proves my theory. 5/5 stars.
