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

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

En este punto la saga se vuelve repetitiva, pero para compensar nos dan muertes más impredecibles, con personajes distintivos pero planos, la peli perfecta si quieres ver una serie de muerte bestiales.

Blu B

Better than 2 and has more production value as well. M.E.W. is the one thing in this I'd call good. She stands out and gives it her all here and it shows. WAAY more memorable than Kimberley from 2. Kevin isn't bad either. Everyone else is alright and some are so eggaerated stereotypes it's so obvious their not trying to hide it. Thanks to the main 2 though the acting isn't bad and cinematography is decent too. Honestly everything is half decent here. You can tell this has more budget behind it. The kills are over the top and some are more well set up than others. Everything here feels like there is a level of self parody that is starting to form to a degree as well. It's also less jumpy, doesn't constantly explain the plot of the previous two, and it's a step up in general from 2. That being said the biggest problem here is it does nothing new once again. If you've seen the first or 2 than you've seen this. It has nothing new at all. Unless your a hardcore fan I don't really see a reason to watch it. Skip It. Not terrible at all though but nothing we haven't seen done before and/or done better.

This is different from the other two, but the movie never comes out from the same point. Spoiler!!! Nothing happens. They just go the people that are going to die, and then they die.

Final Destination 3 has several internal problems, and this story of repeating the same course as the first film is definitely getting very boring.
