Product Description
In what critics are calling "The Best Final Destination yet" (NME.com) and "A franchise high" (Yahoo Movies), Death is just as omnipresent as ever, and is unleashed after one man's premonition saves a group of co-workers from a terrifying suspension bridge collapse. But this group of unsuspecting souls was never supposed to survive, and, in a terrifying race against time, the ill-fated group frantically tries to discover a way to escape Death's sinister agenda.
Final Destination 5 is both a great film in its own right and a brilliant addition to the franchise, with "some of the best 3D I've seen this year" (David Edwards, Sunday Mirror).

1st off this movie still isn't as good as the first 2, but saying that it's still a pretty good movie! The gore was pretty spot on, these maybe the best effects out of all 5 movies (Especially the Bridge), theres also a new rule discovered....but can that infact help cheat death? Nicholas D'Agosto is probably the only likable character, the rest are pretty annoying! Some of the deaths are predictable well for me the 1st two were! how can't they be after all these sequels? Tony Todd has been brought back after all this time...you'll find out why once its over!
Now for the ending.....5 words....Just WOW! and Very Unexpecting!
Overall it's another great movie from the franchise, let's just hope that they've finished with these movies now as it ended too perfectly to carry on....5 star!

The problem with the Final Destination series of horror movies is that they are a bit same ol' same ol'. They need to change the format a bit as they start off with a disaster where a group survive, and then they start to die in the same order that they would have died had they not been saved, and so on. Having said that the Final Destination movies are fun if you are not squeamish and don't let the Computer Generated Images, blood and gore get to you. Frankly, I find most of it quite laughable. If somebody gets their head blown to smithereens in the movies, it looks like it was an elephant that got it's head blown to bits. Sorry, is that too much information?
In Final Destination 5, the horror starts when a group of employees of the same company are on a coach, travelling across a bridge, which starts to fall apart in the middle. One of the employees has a premonition while sitting there on the coach, and yells to everyone to get off. And here starts the same old Final Destination pattern where lives are saved and then they begin to have accidents and die later in the order that they died in the premonition. It's a fun movie, as I say, but I do think the writer could think of a different format. All the same, there is a great deal of inventiveness in how individuals can shuffle off this mortal coil and if you are thinking of having laser treatment on your eyes, you might like to get it done before you watch this. (Oh, and it has been argued on other websites that what happened is impossible but we have to remember this: it is a movie! Half the stuff that happens is scientifically impossible. So just sit back with your popcorn and enjoy the rollercoaster ride.

I bought this film with not many expectations and whist reading the reviews I Found that many people were complimenting the 3D effects and thought why not?
Arrived quickly, stuck it on and I was very impressed, the depth and effects of the film are brilliant, I'm not just saying it, I do actually mean it! Don't think, just buy it!

Despite some minor new ideas, this series is limping towards its own demise

I'm a big fan of the FD series, but even fans are allowed to get annoyed if their team gets lazy.
FD 1 worked because at the time it was an invigorating rethink of the teen slasher idea that concentrated on interesting and likeable characters and then put them in peril from bizarre and absurd chains of disaster. There was some chance they might escape. In short, there was enough room for hope that you didn't feel you were essentially sat there just waiting to see whether the way they got whacked was interesting enough. Number 2 was gorier and trashier but still delerious fun. 3 and 4 made it clear that this was now a numbers game with no escape, and it's a situation not remedied by number 5.
Why? Well, the characters are the weakest bunch ever for the series. Despite some likeability, the actors just aren't good enough, and nobody is giving it their best. Some effort has gone into the script, including the introduction of an idea that had the potential to revolutionise the series, but the film-makers were too scared of losing their audience to go for broke and go with it. As a result this remains another decent-budget death-by-numbers, where the only interest is 'how' they're going to die, not whether they're going to live.
The main disaster is not especially inspired although some decent effort has clearly been put into making it, and there is a little bizarre comedy in the script, but this is a series that is desperately in need of a return to the days when its heroes mattered and had a chance, not the current state of affairs where they might as well be wearing a number.

One of the best horrors of 2000 stuck two fingers up to the fashion-heavy slasher genre, while proving sequels can be a worthwhile additions to a worthy story with space to fill, but that story is now steadily ticking its way to an essential end here (we hope and wish), yet the likelihood of such would equate commercial Hollywood horror with a brain. Plus as any horror fan knows, the liberty of the word 'final' in a title emblazons the very essence of duplicity. Therefore, once accepting that the makers will never accept the word 'cut' and the rigidity of the initially fresh-as-lavender formula's wearing close to the bone, it's amazing to uncover that, for the most part, this film gets the enjoyment and involvement balance almost level with the first three, with the suspense factor necessarily lower in some places, lazier in others, but then as this a fifth showcase of the same round-robin of escaping death punishment, that's an impressive strike rate for the Reaper, with a few surprises in tow, even if by now there's sadly no tenous, shadowy hint of him at all, but Tony Todd as his apparent scribe does return, making this film feel even more a necessary appendage.
The fourth instalment was utterly useless, repetitive, reeked of a bargain bin too good for it, so the first shock delivered is how the cinematic quality has returned; the cheeky opening as heart-thumpingly wince-inducing as Parts 1-3 first unveiled. Characters are worthwhile again, and the FX pinnacle height quality. The movie speeds along, hoping anticipatory appetites of the reaping dissipate familiarity of death's registration order and rather contrived episodes to isolate the next lamb.... Read more ›

Best of the sequels
The first movie made an impact because it was quite original in its genre, at the time. They became a bit more samey and ironic after that, almost as if not a suspense "horror"... Read more
