Several youths once again discover that "death doesn't like to be cheated" after surviving a deadly bridge collapse accident in this final chapter in the 'Final Destination' franchise. Part Five shares some of the weaknesses of the earlier entries - particularly the lack of any clear explanation of why the premonitions occur in certain individuals and why Death chooses to avenge in such complex and grisly ways. Some of the victims to-be in this sequel are also so obnoxious that we simply cannot wait for them to die; P.J. Byrne is especially unpleasant and a grumpy David Koechner is not far behind. For all its drawbacks, Part Five is, however, also a lot more fun than the previous couple of chapters with large doses of humour (especially in a health spa scene) and multiple elaborate death sequences in which it is hard to predict what exactly will deliver the fatal blow; the gymnasium scene is particularly well done in this regard. The absolute best aspect of the film though is the surprise ending that cleverly drums up incredible tension. It is an ending that also makes this a fitting concluding tale in the horror saga. Of course, knowing the current climate in Hollywood, the series could be given the green light for a reboot at any minute, but after the lousy 'The Final Destination', it would be nice for the series to be put to rest on a high note like this film is.

Survivors of a suspension-bridge collapse learn there's no way you can cheat Death. I'm really trying to understand how this film is rated higher than the previous four in Rotten Tomatoes it's basically the exact same sh*t people die in the most over the top ways that you can think of. A chick falls from the window, a dude gets crashed by a statue, people fall from a bridge and die, cars fall on their heads i mean common how can anyone find stuff like this funny and entertaining? Don't get me wrong it's your life and opinion and you can like anything you want but this film is predictable from the deaths to the over the top ending where everyone dies. The cgi are horrendous, the acting is bad, the plot is unknown and the characters are forgettable. This is only for fans of the Series personally the previous 4 films were kinda OK some of them were mediocre at best and others really awful but this one? Without a doubt it's the worst of the Franchise. (0/10)

Remember The Final Destination? Yeah, I prefer not to...But with this one, they kinda get back-on-track. It's still flawed, but brings back some of what I like about this franchise.First off, the characters. There were actually some pretty good ones. Sam is far from my favorite, but he's a better protagonist than the previous one. Molly is cute, Nathan is fine too, but best of all is Peter. He was by far the most interesting one, and got some great development in the movie. The actor playing him, Miles Fisher, was absolutely incredible. He gave the character true diversity and was also the most believable one when it came to dealing with death. He acts like a real person would, someone who becomes very down and might even panic. I won't say more than that, but he's a highlight in the movie.The plot, while not exactly original, has enough new things going for it. For example, Bludworth shows up and informs the group of another trick they can use to (maybe) cheat death. Speaking of Bludworth, I'm glad they brought Tony Todd back. He was at least voicing a roller-coaster announcer in the third, but in part 4 he was absent. And once again, he is a scene stealer. Not only does he have a perfect smooth, creepy voice, but he also has a face you can't forget.The deaths themselves are for the most part very good. Several of them have pretty intense build-up and I sat there nervous, hoping nothing terrible would happen as most of the characters you can root for. Sometimes it gets pretty damn crazy, and while it often is ridiculous I go along with it and get some solid chills and laughs. But it's not an all-out comedy like TFD is, it does try to be engaging and make you invested in the story. And if you ask me, not a half-bad job. The cinematography is all right. It's not the best I've ever seen, but it's perfectly fine and I really like the lighting in the last scene.Unfortunately, there are a couple of holdbacks. Like I said, the plot is not so original. I appreciate that they are trying to honor the audience who fell in love with the first, but perhaps they tried a little too hard. There were moments like I felt like I was watching an updated version of the original, which was a little jarring. And not ALL of the characters are good. Olivia and Isaac had some chuckleworthy bits, but for the most part they were just annoying. Olivia in particular was a complete dumbass, who at one point blurted out such a ridiculous comment when everyone was at their most grieving that I wanted to punch her. Isaac was the typical ladies man character which the series always has a tendency to include since the third. The first of them was by far the funniest, Isaac only p'issed me off. He got on my nerves with his obnoxious braindead lines he would blurt out and in all honesty is the character I had least sympathy for.Final Destination 5 might not be the most memorable of the bunch, but I was satisfied enough that I can safely assure I had an enjoyable time. A worthy watch for all FD fans.

The five minute opening bridge sequence of this film may be one of the most realistic and overwhelmingly exciting in motion picture history. And that is only the start. With electric intensity the suspense continues to build and the horror eventually reaches an unendurable climax. Unmatched special effects work and cinematography of Oscar caliber will have the individual viewer fighting for breath as an outstandingly written script goes for the jugular. Beautifully and skillfully directed with an exciting cast of young actors you will be seeing much more of in the future, this is not only the best entry in this franchise. It is also a truly magnificent motion picture of incredible proportions on its own and could hardly be more highly praised.
