Final Destination 3 (DVD, 2006, Full Frame Special Edition)

Final Destination 3 is quite scarey and full of horror. A young woman can forsee what happens to her friends. Is it terror or satire. Get the DVD and find out!

Final Destination has again come up with a suspense-filled, edge of your seat, chills and thrills movie. It is actually a really good series that could go on for quite some time, and still do reasonably well at the box office. In this third installment we find a young bunch of students who once again accidentally cheat death due to one persons horrific vision of what is to come, but then throughout the movie get picked off one by one. It is always cool to see how these kids get knocked off! Each one is equally surprising, and quite inventive. The movie is basically harmless accept for the brutal death scenes and the two girls in the tanning salon (you can see that one coming a mile away). But, call it overkill if you want to, but if and when they make a Final Destination 4 I will definitely get that one too. It's just great fun!! Enjoy!!

How much do I loathe Final Destination 3 let me count the ways. IT'S TIRED formula just isn't as entertaining as, say, the first Final Destination. Even that tried too hard! So far the supernatural-slasher-thriller formula isn't so much scary as it is annoying. It seems that it's just a venting mechanism to cut up all the annoying a**holes that we grew up with in high school. The characters have absolutely no depth and the ones who we're supposed to care about, we start to wonder why toward the end. "Grim Reaper, chance, or fate, GET 'EM already!! Quite laughable really. I had to remind my self that this was a horror flick and not a comedy. You want real thrills and chills one just has to go back to M Night Shyamalan's Signs or even the remake of Dawn of the Dead. I still have to look over my shoulder when I go upstairs and turn off all the lights downstairs! I rented this dog and was more than happy to return it ON TIME!!

As "Death" blows around like the wind, so does the plot line which is only strengthen when the possibility of "Death" presenting itself. Overall, the movie is like its theme. A roller coaster with up & down variations throughout.

Much to my surprise, New Line Cinema made a 3rd film in the Final Destination saga.

As a senior at MacIntire High, Wendy (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is enjoying senior night at the local amusement park. She seems preoccupied with taking photos for the yearbook. She is fairly certain that she doesn't want to ride the roller-coaster called The Devil's Speed, but her boyfriend, despite her reluctance, Wendy gets into the ride seats and goes into a trance where she foresees her own death. This traumatizes her into a frenzy and causes 6 or 7 to get off the ride before the fatal accident occurs. From this point forward, Wendy, has a looming feeling that some kind of force is directing her path towards some unknown fate. Her dead boyfriend's best friend Kevin (Ryan Merriman) tries to tell her that he learned that something similar happened before about another student years ago having a premonition that a plane filled with his classmates was died, so many got off the plane before it crashed and saved their lives. After that incident, the survivors all died under mysterious circumstances and in the same order of the setting.

I'm very surprised about this film since it was James Wong who directed the first film of the trilogy, and now he came back to do this one and perhaps even a fourth film due out soon. Wong must have had this idea running around in his mind for several years and finally decided to give it another spin. Wong now gives us two different ways to view the film. One way is as the normal theatrical version and the other way is an interactive choice version where you can change the course of the film and somehow change the course of how things progress throughout the movie. I'm not sure at this moment how complicated it gets, but I do know that on my initial choice, I saved the original boyfriend from death and several others, and therefore, somehow stopped the chain of events that lead to anyone else dying. To me that was surprising, since I thought it might just be a very simple screen prompt (yes/no), but as I continued, it got more interesting.

Of course, we all wonder sometimes how we could finally succumb to the hands of death, as well as when. This film is one of those films that entice you into watching because of our own curious nature. We all want to know everything, including how other people die, even tragically. If you have following the Final Destination Trilogy, then you will know the formula for all three films are very similar in nature; introduce the audience to someone who foresees some looming tragic accident before it happens and let the character cause people to escape death, thus somehow cheating death, but only for a small time. Why, for a small time? Because supposedly death is still coming after you and in the same order as before, just perhaps somewhat postponed until he can get around to setting things straight. This predestination concept is embedded in many different philosophies & religions, so the idea of cheating fate is really nothing new.

Wendy and Kevin both played their rolls pretty well, however I thought that there were times when you just would think to yourself, "How can these two be smiling at each other right after they witness some kind of tragic death of one of their friends?"

I'll give this film a 4/5 because, I've watched it twice and the seemed to enjoy the interaction part better the 2nd time.

IF YOU LIKE MY REVIEWS, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO LET ME KNOW BY VOTING. THANKS

So many times sequels stink, or just aren't nearly as good as the prequels. Not in this case! I never get bored with the Final Destination movies! They have a good thing going, and this one is just as awesome as the first two! You can't go wrong with this movie, whether you are a loyal fan or a first time wathcer!!

THIS IS THE TRILOGY OF THE GREAT FINAL DESTINATION MOVIES. I LOVE THE WAY THEY ALWAYS CONNECT EACH INDIVIDUAL MOVIE TO THE NEXT MOVIE. SO FAR FINAL DESTINATION 3 IS MY TOP PICK, I AM SURE THERE WILL BE A FOURTH MOVIE OUT SOMETIME JUST BY THE WAY THE ENDING ENDS. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE!!

This movie was very good.. Lets just say I would not go on a roller coaster at this time in my life maybe never again. Theme pretty much followed the first 2. I think it was the better of the 3.. Now they had the option to p[ick or choose whether they live or die, but i found that to be boring. I tried picking different options and by 3/4s the way through the movie i came up with only 1 change and i got tired of picking and choosing and just watched the movie again in whole.

Part 3 is decent and quite entertaining. But it doesn't compare to the second one. The choose your own fate is a good bonus feature. The first decision I made ended the film all together making it only around 20 minutes long. Overall I gave it a grade B, the death scenes just didn't have the imagination of the first two films.

I liked the movie even if it was a 3rd installment. You dont watch horror movies for social commentary. You watch them to feel a bit of terror. If you did, the movie did its job. If it made you think of something scary(which all the FD movies do), then it really did its job. The concept of "if you beat death..it may still come after you" makes you think. As far as horror "sequels", I thought you saw a lot of moments that made you gasp a bit. Sure made me look at rollercoasters differently....LOL

Nor to rent or worth buying,Cliche written all over it, if you have not seen the first two, please do so. As for this it lacks of everything.

this movie is good the only thing is it adds to the high school type of movie makes u double chance each step if you liked the rest of the final destination movies go cop this one nothing like the original number 1 movie just go get it...

My kids are scary movie freaks. They love final destination 3 and since were going on a long road trip, I figure it's a great way to keep them entertained.

This movie was super good. Parts of it did remind me of Meteor man but it was nothing like that and very funny and fun to watch.
I loved the part when The bed went though the wall and the Guy said What were you doing, May have been worded different but it was funny as heck.
