Although it suffers from the same lack of interest in creating characters the audience can care about that plagues many horror films, presumably the teens these films are made for don't care, so who am I to complain? Given what this is meant to be it's pretty solid. The deaths are gleefully gory and the stretches in between killings aren't that boring as the "characters" figure out what's happening to them. The best part is the kitchen fight: it draws some fun thrills out of Death's "rules".

Perhaps it's foolish to go into one of these movies expecting to see something different, but this is the epitome of rehashing a tired idea to make a buck. These movies would work better if the filmmakers just ignored the character and plot development and just created a series of short death sequences. That's all anyone really cares about after all. Speaking of those, they were just okay here, nothing as crazy as the first couple movies. Way too much crappy looking CGI gore for my tastes.

Final Destination 5 is a well-made Final Destination movie. It has death sequences that, while not always tense, are almost always uncomfortable. It has characters that aren't incredibly stupid, the special effects are solid, and it contains enough humor to keep the tone light. It also allows itself open enough to serve as an introduction to newcomers, even if the first film still is likely a better starting place, if only because you'll get a lot of references. It's a fun "kill everyone" flick.

I saw this in a theater packed with old people who laughed at everything,was great. The prequel twist ending of having the lead die on the airplane crash from the first Final Destination made this more ridiculous. Everyone dies again. Spoilers idiots. This is by no means a good movie, it's REALLY FUNNY though in that ~stupid way~. The gymnast dismantling and somehow managing to fold in half backwards and having her bones snap through the skin WHAT, SHE WASNT EVEN HIGH UP OR SPINNING FAST WHATLOL

This film is not good in the way that you would typically think a film should be good. But gosh darnit, it's so fun. A gymnast dies by landing incorrectly and seemingly every bone in her body broken and bursting through her skin. Honestly, probably would have scored this lower, but then the ending is so bonkers. I say this without hyperbole, it is the greatest ending of a film ever. Orson Welles wishes he could have done this for Citizen Kane.

Whilst not as entertaining as 1 and 3, and lacking the campy B-movie quality of 2 and 4, not to mention the deaths are unimaginative and dull, there isn't much to save 5 from being the worst of the bunch. There are enough interesting ideas here however, such as how it manages to get out of the fact the last film was called THE Final Destination, to make it a decent and entertaining watch.

The CGI improved, but it's still bad and still sucks the fun out of the kills with its terrible physics and textures. The film even uses CGI for the most mundane things, why would that tea kettle on the stove possibly need to be CGI? You couldn't put a fucking tea kettle on the stove and film that? They at least did something interesting with the ending connecting back around to the first film. Then they really said "let's pack as much racism into this massage parlor scene as we can."

Perhaps it's been the overwhelmingly weak crop of blockbusters this summer that lowered my expectations, but this movie caught me at the right time and hit all the right notes. When the script tries to play up character drama it flops, but the death sequences are gruesomely fun, and changing "the rules" of the series is refreshing enough to make this the best since the original. As a Vancouverite who crosses that bridge every day, the opening disaster carried extra impact. Great 3D, solid twist.

Absolutely no clue why so many critics (going by Rotten Tomatoes) are giving this shitty movie a pass. A bit better than the catastrophic third and fourth entries into the series, sure, but still a predictable slog. The laser eye surgery death is the only slightly creative one.

This was the first horror movie I saw in the theater in 3D, which was an event that was pathetically on my bucket list. It delivered exactly what I wanted it to and I would venture to say it was the most worthwhile 3D experience I've ever had. Would I watch it again in 2D? Nah.

Probably the second best movie in the series. It's so absurd and over the top that you gotta get some sort of enjoyment out of it. The opening scene felt like it was straight out of an Uncharted video game, too bad the entire movie wasn't the same. Plenty of stuff flying at the screen to make fun of as well, gotta love shitty 3D tech. Twist ending was, to quote RG3, "unbelievably believable."

This is actually shockingly decent. It does some intersting things to actually change the preexisting conventions of the series, and the characters are at least somewhat likeable, if not particuarly well acted. The highlights are the opening scene, the credits that showcase the great music by Brian Tyler, and the actually pretty clever and suprising ending.

Like the third and fourth entries, this just features a whole bunch of young unknown actors and is really formulaic. The acting and dialogue in this one was probably the worst yet. There were a couple of death scenes that gave me a good chuckle, but it's all a bit old hat now. The disaster scene at the beginning was quite well done, I'll admit. Mostly. I sort of liked how they tied it back to the original, although it felt a bit cheap. I can't recommend this much at all.

They tried to bring new elements by adding a slight slasher side to the story. Though the bad CGI and cheap visuals made it tougher to digest. The characters are mostly annoying, the women and black guy are pushed to cardboard status. It feels like a cheap scooby style tv show filmed in Vacouver like Supernatural or Grimm. The only good thing was the reveal at the end as the way it connected to the rest was unforeseen and nice

Will this series be like dust in the wind and blow away forever? I don't think so. I actually find these movies to be pretty fun. Sure, the acting in them is not very good, sometimes bordering on bad. I've always liked Nicholas D'Agosto. He did a good job in this, despite a few flat scenes. I never really liked his girlfriend in this, played by Emma Bell. Jacqueline MacInnes Wood was really good and incredibly cute, too bad her death was brutal. (Spoiler, some people die in this)...

A marginal improvement on its predecessor, Final Destination 5, the presumably last entry in the tired franchise, at least boasts a few creative death scenes and changes a major rule that could potentially break death's design. It also has an amusing, if ironically cruel, ending that packs a punch, but the introduction of a new rule is not enough to save the series because it isn't creatively explored and seems like an afterthought to differentiate the film in an overcrowded market.

While I absolutely loved this entry when it was released, after rewatching this years later, I do have to dock it slightly for the dated CGI and unnecessary gore moments (such as body parts flying towards the screen after the death is resolved, it adds nothing and just makes it campier). It has some of the better characters of the series, the most interesting method of survival, and the kitchen fight is one of my favorite scenes of the franchise. Not to mention it has arguably the best ending.

Apparently this is a prequel (as I don't really give a crap about this franchise, I couldn't be arsed to do any research). When I deal with series, sometimes I like to look at their foundations - and that's part of why Final Destination doesn't work for me. The only parts of the production team that's been around for all five movies is one producer and the distributor. Bad news. Anyways, it's apparently an improvement from the last couple, but I mean... it's the same old shit. Skip it for sure.

Going in to this movie, I know everyone is going to die. So, why do I like this series so much? I think it is the combination of creative and gruesome deaths with the fact that it almost can convince me that somebody will live, that they figured out how to beat death. And as I am saying "Maybe this time is going to be different," the last person dies. These are good popcorn movies, nothing deeper than that, and sometimes that is really all I want in a movie.

A marked improvement over the last two entries, Final Destination 5 is a step in the right direction for the franchise. We return to discovering the methodical nature of death and what one needs to do in order to cheat it. And they do it without an awful "I looked on the internet and this happened before..." scene. It's not perfect, no. The deaths aren't too great and the beginning scene doesn't reach the height of FD2. But those silly twists at the end bump this up a bit.

This is a somewhat decent continuation of the first film. While there was never a great reason to make the same film twice, much less five times, this succeeds in that it uses superior special effects and has a similarly high level of suspense. Considering how predictable it all is, that's somewhat impressive. Unlike the first film, this one is gratuitously, yet unapologetically gory. The acting, melodrama, camp, gore, and character development are absurdly excessive and ruin the full potential.

Final Destination 5 is a shocking high point for the franchise. The bridge scene is still not up to the standards of the predictions in the first three.

Final Destination 5 brings everything full circle in a very interesting way. The kills were interesting again, the chain reaction stuff was a pinch more believable, and the use of 3D worked a bit better than the 4th movie. I had a lot of fun with it, but it WAS too bright of a movie. Tonally, it was too light and not as edgy as I feel like the first two movies were, and that's a problem.
