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.

Rated: C-

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

Orion's Shoulder (Substack)

The absolute scenes of Wong’s opener set on a wonky rollercoaster [but] it's a little sluggish, otherwise, with Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Wendy doing my head in a bit. In a series that delights in silliness, she’s just too much.

Battle Royale With Cheese

‘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.

The Post NZ

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.

Rated: 3/5

Final Destination 3 sticks closely to the franchise formula, lacking in novelty and tension — but the morbidly creative death sequences still offer a guilty-pleasure thrill that's hard to resist.

убийства ради убийств. мясо ради мяса. первый фильм спас от этого эффекта, то что он первый и раскрывает тематику всей истории. второй был спасен благодаря добавлению сюжета. в четвертом хотя не было ничего сверхъестественного, но там были очень масштабные и зрелищные катастрофы (именно в множественном числе) и довольно эффектные смерти. так что это явно не самый лучший фильм франшизы, если не худший

I love the beginning, and the middle was interesting, but the characters are just boring and not interesting. I like the main character. The ending was cool if it ended where the train got everyone, but it ends on a cliffhanger, didn't like it. The beginning was great, but it ended up being bland

The jokes are r**e-y, dialogue cringe, and characters cartoonish stereotypes of high cliques. Easily the worst one so far.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Sergio A

It tries to be funnier and taps into pop culture references, but ultimately feels like an overextended sketch plagued by weak performances. Its fragmented structure hurts the overall flow, though it does manage to deliver one standout moment: the train scene.
