Critics Consensus

With little of the ingenuity of previous installments, The Final Destination is predictable, disposable horror fare.

Regular película, sin dudas la cinta mas floja de la saga. Esta cuarta entrega se presenta con la novedad del 3D, una cosa que nunca me gusto en las películas ya que forza algunas escenas que se ven mal a mi parecer. La trama tiene la misma formula que todas las de la franquicia, solo que en esta no note una conexión real entre todas las victimas del accidente, ya que cada uno muere por separado y no es que van hablando sobre lo ocurrido y son cercanos como en las anteriores películas. Sin embargo, a mi no me aburrió para nada y sigue siendo igual de entretenida que las demás películas; además de que no es para nada larga y es fácil de ver. El accidente inicial esta bueno, aunque me parece que no iguala a los anteriores. Las muertes están muy buenas eso si, hay algunas que son de las mas fuertes ya que el uso del gore aca me parece un poco mas excesivo que en las anteriores. Por otro lado, me gustaron las referencias a las demás películas, son pocas pero siempre esta bueno ver la conexión que tienen las cintas. Algo que tampoco me gusto fueron los efectos, creo que son muy inferiores a los de las demás películas y algunas muertes se ven muy falsas. Las actuaciones también son polémicas, los actores no son tan reconocidos y brindan un trabajo algo pobre a mi parecer. En conclusión, una regular película que me parece la mas floja de la saga por lejos, con una historia mucho mas simple que las anteriores y unas muertes buenas pero con un CGI pobre. La recomiendo si te gustaron las anteriores.

By the late 00s there was a fascination to make every film 3D. And that's just the first part of the failure of 'Final Destination 4' or 'The Final Destination'. SYNOPSIS: 'A horrifying premonition saves a young man and his friends from death during a racetrack accident but terrible fates await them nonetheless.' This film falls down on its over reliance on shoddy CGI and making it reliant on 3D technology which just wasn't up to scratch at the time of release. Even now, in 2D, the effects are awful. Almost computer game-esque. It's that bad it's an insult to people who've loved what came before it. A real mess! 3/10

Sydney Morning Herald

The film showers you with gore while dumping a motor engine in your lap and poking you in the eye with a burnt stick.

Rated: 2/5

The Age (Australia)

The characters are crash-test dummies, with dialogue to match. Yet Eric Bress' script is mockingly self-aware, framing the film as the ultimate example of violence as entertainment.

Rated: 3/5

My New Plaid Pants

Clocking in at under an hour and a half and filled to the brim with devilishly sick set-pieces, and with plenty of viscera slapping you across the face thanks to the gloriously cheesy exploitation of the third dimension

It reminds us that a "Nazi ain't got no humanity." They -- and Trump supporters like them -- must be depicted as punchlines, not normal people, so America will never tolerate them.

Features run-of-the-mill performances, a dreadful script, average CGI, weak direction, and not nearly enough horror for a horror film.
