A lot of fun. If you liked FD2 or 3, you'll like this.

Quite forgettable, but it has the series' typically well-choreographed sequences of DOOOOOOM and actually attempts to add a few new elements to the fray. C+

Saw it as a walk-in double feature last night, so not paying made it more enjoyable.

Good Enough and Liked the Past Reminders from the Earlier Movies > The didn't claim this would be the last one, did they?

and interesting how they tied the last shot to a prior movie > does that timeline even make sense?

They cheated a little bit...



...but everything else fit. The cars, the cell phones, the pop culture references, etc.

also a question....

That happens a lot. It's a goof -- they just want to speed up the disaster. Happens in FD2 and 3 as well; the premonition takes several minutes to unfold, yet once the characters are safe, the disaster happens in a matter of seconds.

FD5

I'm one who has enjoyed every film so far. I even enjoyed this but much less so this time around. The death accidents were all pretty nice but the end with one of them trying to kill the other was just too much for me. I didn't like that part of the story at all. Just stick with what works instead of creating this murder for life plot device. As for the final scenes, I thought it was a bit tiresome to blend it with the first movie but I guess it's an okay way to end this film.

Grade - B

Oops thought it was the C&A thread and put a C up there.

Since when do people have to be in a premonition to die? The kid at the end of FD2 shouldn't have died, either -- if Kimberly being resuscitated rewrote the list, then the guy saving him from getting run over wouldn't have created another paradox.

And this is nothing like FD4. Seriously.

Certainly better than the previous installment but does not reach the quality of 1-3. Not even close. Found it more entertaining than the last and there were actually a couple moments of suspense this time around. The disaster was better than the fourth's opening disaster. Really liked Nicholas D'Agosto in the lead.

The end twist was interesting. I didn't see it coming but I remember when Emma Bell's character arrives in the beginning I was thinking,

7/10 (B-)

Kind of too bad this couldn't have been the fourth one. It is more deserving of that film's success.

It was fun, and the 3D actually managed to make the scenes of impending death rather tense and exciting. The OTT gore is still hilarious, and the characters are still thin, poorly acted cyphers. I liked the ending, though, even though I noticed the clues and saw it coming.

Definitely better than the fourth one; this should've been The Final Destination, for sure.

I liked that that one dude who goes nuts and tries to kill people towards the end was apparently directed to look and behave like Tom Cruise in every single possible way.

That is an uncanny impression. You go, Miles Fisher.

I wanted to be a Scientologist when I was 13/14. I bought Hubbard's A New Slant on Life.

MUCH better than The Final Destination. Loved how the ending tied back to the original. I didn't catch all the pop culture references throughout that might have indicated this, though. The only thing that really caught my attention was the office creeper's cell phone when he got killed at the spa. That's a really old cell phone.

Oh, and the 3D wasn't bad. They used it really well.

They really need to stop making these. The only aspect that keeps this from being a complete and utter failure to me is that it ties back to the first. I thought that was kind of clever. Nothing else in the film is though. Maybe the kills needed to be seen in 3D, but I can't help but feel that they've lost all creativity and aren't fun anymore. And this series used to have charasmatic leads. I'm not sure what happened. The two leads have nothing to them, and Miles Fisher, who might have a great Tom Cruise impression, has no idea how to act menacing. That scene in the kitchen is embarrassing.

Yep. It's pretty fucking bad.

I'd see another someday but PLEASE, for the love of God, do something different with this series! I know they tried with this one by adding the whole "You can kill someone and take the rest of their life" thing but that really ended up not adding much at all. I enjoyed this movie enough, but I'm bored of the same formula. I'm afraid I'll never have as much fun with this series as I did with the first three.

While a little better than The Final Destination, the good nature the series had is gone and this series will eventually ride into the dirt. At least the first half, had some classic FD kills. *1/2

Hmm, I'm not sure why they haven't done a sequel about Tony Todd yet, he is never explained and the most interesting part of the entire series.

rather lame

He is the most interesting part because he is never explained.
