How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:8

Fresh:0

Rotten:8

Average Rating:3/10

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

Rated: R [See Full Rating] for strong violent/gruesome accidents, language and a scene of sexuality.

Runtime: 82 mins

Genre: Horror/Suspense

Theatrical Release:Aug 28, 2009 Wide

Box Office: $66,436,248

Synopsis: On what should have been a fun-filled day at the races, Nick O’Bannon has a horrific premonition in which a bizarre sequence of events causes multiple race cars to crash, sending flaming debris... On what should have been a fun-filled day at the races, Nick O’Bannon has a horrific premonition in which a bizarre sequence of events causes multiple race cars to crash, sending flaming debris into the stands, brutally killing his friends and causing the upper deck of the stands to collapse on him. When he comes out of this grisly nightmare Nick panics, persuading his girlfriend, Lori, and their friends, Janet and Hunt, to leave… escaping seconds before Nick’s frightening vision becomes a terrible reality. Thinking they’ve cheated death, the group has a new lease on life, but unfortunately for Nick and Lori, it is only the beginning. As his premonitions continue and the crash survivors begin to die one-by-one -- in increasingly gruesome ways -- Nick must figure out how to cheat death once and for all before he, too, reaches his final destination. The film marks the latest in the highly popular Final Destination series, and its first 3D installment, giving horror fans an especially visceral thrill ride. --© Warner Bros [More]

Since not even 3-D can put your eyes out, our only hope is that this time, the title is a promise and not a tease.

[A] silly and predictable fourth installment in the lucrative thriller series about pretty young people attempting to cheat death.

With the exception of Williamson, the actors are as disposable as their characters, and there is no story to speak of.

Death comes in 3D but everything else is tedious.

Once again, a group of pretty young things who have escaped the opening disaster proceed to die, one by one, as fate catches up with them.

Death, Be Not Boring would have been a better title for this fourth installment in the teen splatter franchise.

The Final Destination is the movie equivalent of a struggling strip-mall store wedged between Metro PCS and a pawn shop. Someone please foreclose.

Whatever hints of originality lay in the series' previous editions have been all but sucked out of this one.
