Destination finale 3

While it was not a great or perfect film (particularly in the dialogue, ending and some of the acting), the first 'Final Destination' was entertaining and effective (especially with its terrific opening plane sequence and the creative deaths) with a fascinating idea done well.

The bigger and bolder 'Final Destination 2' had its flaws but was just as good and perhaps the best of the four sequels. 'Final Destination 3' is just as big and bold, as well as gorier, and is also as good. Second sequels or third instalments of a franchise don't always fare well, especially in horror and comedy, 'Final Destination 3' is one of the better examples in a genre where sequels have a patchy history. The novelty has not yet worn off and in a way is more refined.

Sure, the story is more of the same and formulaic. Meanwhile, there is too much dull downtime between deaths where dialogue and exposition can be clumsy at times.

The special effects are not always brilliant and the characters are as shallow as ever.

However, 'Final Destination 3' is as atmospheric and stylish as its previous two films. The music has a haunting eeriness and James Wong does a more than competent job in the director's chair, showing a genuine understanding of the concept and the horror genre, breathing atmosphere, fun and freshness into a tried and tested formula and not losing what made his direction work in the first film.

Like the second, although there is a little too much of an over-reliance on gore, not all of it necessary, the death scenes are bolder, more elaborate and more creative (faring even better in this regard actually). The tanning bed and nail gun deaths were particularly good and two of the best and most imaginative of the series. The script has some wonderful humour that is black and ironic and has just as much tension and a sense of dread. The amusement park/roller-coaster scene is not as good as the opening scenes in the previous films, especially visually, but it's still very scary. The photo record is surprising and there is an intricacy in places.

'Final Destination 3' has the best ending perhaps of the series, to me it's the least contrived and more logical than the one in particularly the second film. In the acting stakes, it fares favourably too. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is very good.

Overall, a good deadly ride that's worth getting on board for, as long as one knows what to expect. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Once you've seen Final Destination there's not much more of the story to tell, or twist, or reveal. All three films could actually be compiled together to make one long film, in other words, the story is told and the scene is set in part one, the two that follow just get more creative with how messy, bloody, and bazaar each person is slaughtered. And thats why I love these films.

Final Destination 3 is really no different than the two before it, except the creepy bald morgue guy who seemed to have a fetish for death does not make an appearance in this one. There's not much to say, if I told you how each person were sliced, diced, smashed, crushed, impaled...you get the point, then I would be revealing the only reason any of us purchased a ticket. There is no denying those who seen this one in theaters were there just to see how bad death could be dealt. Let me tell ya, "There's some really sick and twisted ways these people die." Anyway, for those who enjoy gross and disturbing this one is worth checking out. Enjoy!

Entertaining follow-up and again with horrifying killings . Eerie chiller with portentous special effects and results to be a nasty piece of work . This sequel of successful original by James Wong deals with a beautiful student of a High School senior named Wendy Christensen ( Maria Elizabeth Winstead ) who along with her friends go to a theme park and decide to go on a large roller coaster . There Wendy has a vision and aware which by avoiding it, she and others ( Ryan Merryman , Texas Battle, Chelan Simmons , Amanda Crew ..) around her have saved but soon begin dying in bizarre accidents . The girl's premonition of a deadly roller-coaster ride saves her life and a lucky few, but not from death itself which seeks out those who escaped their fate . Amusement and entertainment resides from attempting to guess which of the ludicrously over-determined potential hazards will deliver the creepy killings .

In this third installment of the ¨Final Destination¨ series appears none character repeating from former entries , it displays suspense, tension, thrills, and creepy deaths . The chief excitement lies in seeing what new and astonishing victim can be dreamt by the believable FX technicians . Movie exist for only aim of murdering its protagonists and all around in terrifying realistic detail . Death seem to dispatch new weird killing every few minutes of movie, throughout crashing, beheading , blowing up , crushing, burning , etc . Here death is a mere computer generator FX , the ultimate gross-out show . It's frightening and entertaining though predictable but we have seen the original with similar and interesting premise . Although its predictability is redeemed in part by the charismatic acting of protagonists and all around . Colorful and appropriate cinematography by Robert McLachlan . Thrilling musical score fitting to action and suspense by Shirley Walker . The motion picture is written by Glen Morgan and professionally directed by James Wong , though without originally because of going on the similar argument to former outings , being a fresh fodder . Wong has a long career as writer , producer : X-files and finally filmmaker , directing Box office success such as ¨The one¨, ¨Final destination¨ and the flop ¨Dragon ball¨. Followed by more sequels.

I'm not gonna lie to ya, i wasn't looking forward to final destination 3.Just seeing a roller coaster full of screaming people on the poster made me roll my eyes and assume that this franchise has run out of steam .

So you can imagine my surprise to find that final destination 3 is a entertaining , funny and shocking thriller that proves that horror sequels can be pretty darn good if handled properly .

Directed by james wong with style and a pace that hits the ground running ,the film is very much like a roller coaster in its self - fast,packed full of laughs and most importantly full of frights .

The film is essentially a remake of the first film only with a different cast, gorier deaths and a higher level of self awareness.But this is a rare case in which copying the original isn't a bad thing- it keeps that sense of inventiveness and wit that made the first one great. It may be a clone , but its a very good one !

Final destination 3 is gory ,homourous and clever fun that will make me think twice about my horror sequel prejudice....

Mary Elizabeth Winstead's performance is incredible, most of the black comedy is effective and the death scenes are creative and memorablegive. Giving you the feeling of death being everywhere despite also having a more cartoonish vibe. People scared of rollercoasters sure as hell aren't changing their minds anytime soon if they see this movie. Not to mention the occasional moments of intelligence in the script regarding death's design. Part 3 is far from the perfect slasher sequel and not as good as part 2 but it's still entertaining enough to make it a cut above the rest when it comes to slasher movies.
