Stupid, silly and gory.

Desson Thomson Washington Post (Top Critic)

An interesting combination of well-mounted horror flick and sheer campy experience.

Jay Carr Boston Globe (Top Critic)

It starts by cheating death and ends by cheating us.

Kendall Morgan Dallas Morning News (Top Critic)

Final Destination brings the scares home. And isn't that what a good horror film is all about?
Full Review » 12 years ago
Steven Rosen Denver Post (Top Critic)

Good films see through those fears and anxieties like wise psychologists. The rest, like this, just see the dollar signs.

Barbara Shulgasser Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)

The writing by Wong, Glen Morgan and Jeffrey Reddick meets the low standards of a mediocre TV movie.

A silly slasher movie, minus the slasher.

Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)

Any movie clever enough to make the late John Denver a prophet of doom is OK in my book.

Bob Thomas Associated Press (Top Critic)

Several cuts above the usual terror flick aimed at the teen dating crowd.

Teens fear the reaper in this so-so thriller.

Becomes little more than a typical--if highly atmospheric--slasher film, complete with the cheesy dialogue and gimmicky conclusion.

...an innovative (and unexpectedly influential) exercise in horror.

...glib, well produced, and reasonably well acted, adding up to slick pop drivel.

About as subtle as an amplified death rattle--only not quite as fun to listen to.

Tedious and derivative, it will soon be long forgotten.

A grossly underrated horror film with an intriguing premise and foreboding atmosphere.

MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher

"Hamhanded teen-philosophy stuff about fate and death's design and living forever and nobody controls my destiny."

A waste of a decent premise.

Typical, tiresome, forgettable crap.
Full Review » 12 years ago
Christine James Boxoffice Magazine

For a horror flick about precognition, Final Destination is sadly lacking in the ability to foresee what will thrill and chill audiences.

After its promising liftoff, Final Destination loses altitude fairly quickly and ultimately doesn't get very far.
Full Review » 12 years ago
Brad Haynes Orlando Weekly

Final Destination showed promise of attaining high altitude, but it sticks too closely to an over-worked flight path of terror to soar on its own.
