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 Nov 7, 2019 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online 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. Rated: B+ Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com 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 Jan 27, 2012 Full Review Stephen A. Russell 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. May 25, 2025 Full Review Jason Adams My New Plaid Pants Bloody delicious catnip Jan 14, 2022 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Nicholas D'Agosto is probably strongest among the cast here. Rated: 2.0/4.0 Sep 7, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Korra N By far the best of the franchise (haven't seen Bloodlines yet), FD5 has multiple characters you actually care about, deeper story with Tony Todd's Bloodworth & the best disaster sequence of the franchise. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Katie N EASILY the best in the franchise. the first one has that icon status and nostalgia factor, plus it's such an interesting and cool premise that it still gets points for it even all these years later, but 5 is hands down the best written and filmed. you actually get to know the characters, who all know each other again and are even friends, the movie has room to breathe without overstaying its welcome with an extended runtime, the deaths are suspenseful and make you squirm the whole time, and the twist was such a perfect bow on the franchise that i'm honestly surprised they made bloodlines. the audience really missed on this one with that 53% score Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/13/25 Full Review Michel B и вновь мясо ради мяса. все что спасло фильм от разгрома это, то что он является приквелом с довольно крутой и красиво сделанной концовкой Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/08/25 Full Review Selathea A I actually really liked this one. I think this one was the best out of all the final destination. The deaths weren't as predictable, which was amazing cause I was on the edge of my seat. I loved the acting, the storylines, and the comedy. Though the last final destination: bloodlines was good too. I preferred seeing Iris's premonitions and life as opposed to her granddaughter. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/07/25 Full Review Tyler G A lot better than the previous movie. The characters aren't so painfully dumb, the death scenes are more entertaining, and the final scene is a nice payoff. Still, bad acting and familiar tropes make this just okay. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/06/25 Full Review Jack P Without a doubt the best in the franchise. Nothing but campiness and gore. While it still falls victim to many of the same flaws as the rest of the Final Destination series, it features has some of my favorite deaths and the main characters are well written and give solid performances. This movie is also significantly better paced than the rest and the cinematography is great. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/05/25 Full Review Read all reviews
