During a bus ride with his colleagues to a corporate retreat, Sam (Nicholas D'Agosto) experiences a horrifying vision: the suspension bridge that they -- and many others -- are crossing starts to crumble around them. When his vision ends and, almost immediately, starts to come true, Sam takes quick action that saves a number of people, including his girlfriend, Molly (Emma Bell), and his best friend, Peter (Miles Fisher). However, the survivors soon find that Death will not be denied.

Critics Consensus

It's still only for the gore-thirsty faithful, but Final Destination 5 represents a surprising return to form for the franchise.

Joshua Rothkopf

Time Out

Among this cast of unluckies, there is no future Jamie Lee Curtis. But you do take the film home with you -- to all your own toys -- and that's what decent horror is supposed to do.

Rated: 3/5

Final Destination 5 won't be known for any stellar performances, but first-time feature director Steven Qualye can rest assured he scared the daylights out his audiences.

I don't have a lot to say about Final Destination 5 save that, for the first time ever, I actually enjoyed sitting in a theatre watching one of these efforts from beginning to end.

Rated: 2.5/4

Cape Cod Wave Magazine

The appeal isn’t watching someone in pain, it’s the suspense of knowing something very bad is going to happen but not knowing exactly how, and the humor in watching ridiculously unlucky victims fall prey to absurdly awful chains of events.

Rated: 3/4

Orion's Shoulder (Substack)

A big yes to the 3D bridge collapse and boat mast impaling ... the agonisingly prolonged gymnasium jelly bones moment, the dark me-too comeuppance of sleaze-avenging acupuncture... Dario Argento-operatic laser surgery and the sublime time loop.

I'm so happy that we got this movie after the fourth one before. The filming is so much better and the collapsing bridge is spectacular. There is also a really good twist at the end.

I find this version of final destination to be a much better watch than 4. The kills are more creative and suspenseful. The acting is better with more interesting characters. There’s definitely a comedic thread in the movie. The twists are fun and keep the franchise somewhat fresh. Opening scene is not the best intro of FD, but superior to the last few I would say. All of this said, it’s not without its problems. Some of the acting is not the best, and some of the cgi does not hold up.

Better than the 4th movie but not by a lot. First 10 minutes plus the final scene were good. What came in between was hit and miss. Visually one of the better ones.
