Giddily gruesome and perversely entertaining, Final Destination 3 proves, yet again, that horror franchises will thrive as long as teenagers keep finding spectacular ways to die. A stand-alone sequel to the first two Final Destination thrillers, this one begins when a group of seven high-school graduates luckily escape from a deadly roller-coaster disaster, only to discover that their own deaths have been only temporarily avoided. Cute brunette Wendy (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) spots clues of impending doom in digital photos of her soon-to-be-expiring classmates, and an ill wind follows her everywhere, suggesting the presence of a supernatural force that makes her a catalyst for gory events, as each of her friends is dispatched in the order they were meant to die. Returning to give their brainchild a suspenseful, low-budget makeover, franchise creators and former X-Files writers James Wong and Glen Morgan cleverly play on our collective fears (the roller coaster sequence is genuinely terrifying) with a knowing nod to violent urban legends, which explains their inclusion of the '70s hit "Love Roller Coaster" on the soundtrack when two stuck-up girlfriends pay an ill-fated visit to a tanning parlor. And that's just for starters: With Wong as director, FD3 serves up its grisly deaths with tight pacing and humor, and the cathartic carnage is discreetly edited yet gory enough to satisfy hardcore horror buffs. When morbid mayhem is this much fun, it's a safe bet that another sequel is just around the corner. --Jeff Shannon

Like the first 2 movies in this series of films this is a good film to watch.Even though it is basically the same storyline as
the first 2 films,some people escape death in a horror accident and then death comes back to stalk the survivors,it never
gets boring.
There are some new good ideas put into this film and that's what keeps it going,because this series of films are in danger of getting to boring if they are kept to similar as the last one,but this one isn't and so i recommend it to anyone who enjoy's these types of horror films.

The original Final Destination was exactly that, original. The second one followed quite well, as the characters were all interwoven into the fates of the people who got off of flight 180.
However, by the third film, the characters seem to think "Oh, it's happening again." With no second thought, they assume that that is what must be happening. They hardly even seem concerned.
The deaths are ok, but nothing to the first film. Some are prodictable, like the guy in the gym getting killed (I can't even remember his name, it had that little effect.) Also, the actors look the part, but don't play it well at all. As I said before they don't seem terribly shocked or even upset when their friends die and they know that it is happening again.
The only really good part of the film is the end, which I wont spoil for people who haven't seen it. It is quite clever though.
To sum up, only really worth getting if you're a die hard Final Destination fan. Horror fans are likely to be bored.

If you loved the first two you will love this. Ok i agree it's similar to the others but it would be as its on the same theme. Grosser than the other two,i spent the whole film squinting through my fingers and if this doesn't put you off sun-beds for life nothing will!!!

I think I'll probably remember Final Destination 3 as the last decent movie in the franchise, that is if the fifth also sucks as much as the fourth. Read more
