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 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 Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See Wall-to-wall impalings, eyes popping out all over the place, and wooden post-teen actors dying in horrific, entertaining ways.

annabelle j the fifth final destination is the perfect end to the series , the twist at he end ends this series in a nice bloody bow, its only a few notes to write home about with the deaths but I feel its worth it due to the ending. id 100% watch this if your a thriller or gore fanatic as it holds a lot of the two and some scenes you feel a grimace on your face for them. final ending for final destination Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review thiago s filme legal pra caramba, a cena do onibus foi boa, mas as cenas de morte de filme foram mais o menos, o roteiro mais uma vez é igual as outros filmes, mas o que salva é o plot twist o filme. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review Liz S As a final destination fan I thought this ticked almost every box, it’s not rewritten the franchise, there’s nothing new and I love it for that! It’s not trying to be something it’s not! If you’re looking for a great film, or a new horror etc this isn’t for you. If, however, you’re looking for a film you don’t have to put any brain power into, that delivers what it says it will, then grab your popcorn and enjoy! Great ending too! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/28/24 Full Review SkyRo P The Final Destination franchise is a rollercoaster of hits and misses, with each film offering a unique experience. The first film was a standout with its incredible cast, well-choreographed death scenes, and impressive CGI, creating a thrilling and memorable viewing experience. It sets the stage for the rest of the franchise and is a must-watch to dive into the series. The fear-inducing nature of the first film sticks with you, making you wary of certain scenarios like logging trucks on the interstate. The subsequent films maintain the suspense and entertainment value, although some may not reach the same heights as the original. Final Destination 3 introduces a roller coaster theme, adding a new dimension to the series with a focus on amusement park thrills. While it may not live up to the standards set by its predecessors, the film still offers an engaging watch, thanks to its strong casting and visual effects. Final Destination and Final Destination 5 continue the franchise's trend of captivating audiences with their thrilling storylines and engaging characters. While they may not reach blockbuster status, they succeed in keeping viewers entertained and invested in the series. Overall, the Final Destination franchise is a mixed bag, with each installment bringing something different to the table. While some films may not shine as brightly as others, the series as a whole offers an enjoyable viewing experience that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review TROY S I said this is one of the best horror prequel I've ever seen and the Twist at the end I LOVE THAT Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/13/24 Full Review James B I love the final destination franchise and this is a good movie with really good and creative kills and a shocking ending but it suffers from bad CGI. It should have stuck with practical effects like the first three movies. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
