Editorial Review:
Installment #4 in the premonition-laden Final Destination series comes on like a poker-faced send-up of the previous episodes, featuring a collection of hilariously over-the-top deaths and the usual array of Rube Goldberg set-ups--except this time the chain reactions rarely result in mayhem. Fate, it seems, is more random than that. We open at a racetrack, where vapid teen Bobby Campo has a vision of slaughter involving cars crashing and bleachers crumbling. When he hustles girlfriend Shantal VanSanten and their friends out of the grandstands before the real conflagration, it doesn't take long to figure out that their time is going to come, and soon. (Which they would have known if they'd watched the first three Final Destination movies.) From there, it's just waiting around for the killings, which this time utilize a car wash, a beauty parlor, and a tow truck run amok. Perhaps the gruesomeness of the deaths this time is explained by the cheapjack production (gotta grab 'em with something) and surely the many jabbing, jutting implements are there because the film was released to some theaters in 3-D. As for the death that occurs in a swimming-pool drain, it seems somebody read Chuck Palahniuk's notorious story "Guts," or at least had an ear for urban legends. The bland characters and tin-ear dialogue don't help anything, even if the climactic sequence in a movie theater showing a 3-D film suggests a lurking sense of self-awareness. Moral: there may be three dimensions, but there's only one destination. --Robert Horton
The Final Destination Reviews:
Another Crappy Final Destination Movie! 
2009-12-03 - Anyone that gives this 5 stars must be on crack. Once again we are told the exact same story. Are americans so bored with there lives that they don't mine watching the same story over and over? This sequel is no different than all those horrible Saw sequels. The only reason they keep making these movies is because the originals made a lot of money. I loved the first Final Destination, It was a new an interesting horror film. We've gotta stop with all these dam sequels. This movie is not boring but you already no exactly what's going to happen. A bunch of lame white kids try to cheat death and death does what death does best. You would think by now these idiots would realize you can't cheat death. At least the first movie made this concept seem cool. This movie has no personality. It's a bunch of mediocre actors trying to make a horror flick. I've seen all the other Final D movies. So i didn't expect to be scared out of my seat but i did expect to be entertained a little. They could have at least switched around the story a little. Maybe, someone could have found a way to stop death permanently. Who knows, Anything would have been better than this. Watch this only if there is nothing else to watch or just rent the first one, its a classic.
Same old, Same old.....but..... 
2009-11-29 - It's still a decent movie. Like other reviewers said, it has been done before, but the unique (and gruesome) kills are what makes these movies. Usually, that what makes a sequel. Same premise, but different actions. Alot of reviewers didn't like it because it was just "another mindless sequel." This is not true. This movie is a great movie, if you are someone who is not a nit-picker, and don't take the movies they watch, to seriously. If you're just looking for entertainment, this movie will do just that.
'Other' reviews. 
2009-11-26 - What the United States Conferrence of Catholic Bishops had to say(only for those who care; thought you should know):
Repellent horror sequel in which a young man's (Bobby Campo) premonition of impending death saves him, his girlfriend (Shantel VanSanten), two of their pals (Haley Webb and Nick Zano) and a number of strangers from perishing in a speedway accident, but the Grim Reaper is not to be cheated, and the survivors begin to die off in a series of horrifically gruesome misadventures. Director David R. Ellis' utterly callous fourth installment in the franchise amounts to little more than an exercise in gross-out special effects, with a gratuitous scene of debased casual sex tacked on for bad measure. Conventional and 3D formats. Pervasive gory violence, including mutilation, brief graphic nonmarital sexual activity, a couple of uses of profanity, some rough and much crude language. O -- morally offensive
Does what it says on the tin
2009-10-10 - After seeing the trailer or watching the previous movies you know what you are going to see. You aren't going to see The Final Destination for engaging dialogue, characters or a fresh spin on the plot. You are going to see it to watch death stalk and kill people in creative accidents. The 3D bonus ups the ante and makes The Final Destination an amazingly thrilling ride. The 3D itself works excelently and the deaths are more brutal than ever. Okay, so the movie has some problems. It is a little short and some of the acting is sub-par but for what it is, The Final Destination succeeds in being a blood soaked, action packed lesson about mortality.
Same As The First 3
2009-09-29 - SPOILERS!!Worst movie I've seen all year.If you've seen any of the other ones,you have pretty much seen this one.Same everything just different place and different people.Someone sees the future they cheat death,they try to figure out the cycle,think they beat it and guess what they don't.SO PREDICTABLE,I thought it being the last one they might figure out how to beat "death".Ends the same as the first one,when is this same story going to play out.I like the story to the movie but change at least something out of 4 movies.
