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 is 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.

I couldn't believe the humor in it. ... I know when people read this review, they're going to be thinking. Humor in Final Destination 3?! ... Everyone complained about this movie because they said it doesn't go with death's plan, at all... and they're right... that's where the humor is, not even the characters in the movie knew death's plan... but I did. You basically just have to take yourself back to the old Arnold movies back in the 80s when he says those cheesy one-liners... and then you have to imagine those movies without those one-liners... the deaths would be more horrific... that's Final Destination 3.... *MAJOR SPOILERS*... you just have to think about each victim.... first two victims were smoking hot *they died in the tanning salon* ... second victim, the motorhead at the drive-thru... *he got a motor through his head*... third victim, the football jock, the adrenaline went to his head, *when the two swords cut the cord on his weights... "I CONTROL MY FATE, YEAH BABY, WOOOO"... he pushes down the weights and his head goes splat*.... victim #4 and #5.. the emo guy and girl,... they seemed to be just friends, but we all knew he wanted to nail her... *she got hit with the nail gun he was playing with*... and when she died, he was crushed *he was crushed*... victim #6, they saved the sister of the main girl, and when they did that, they quickly tried to flag down the next person on the list... *immediately the next person on the list got a flag pole through the stomach*.... but I guess death thought the way the 3 survivors handled the whole situation was a total train wreck... *the rest of them died in a subway train accident* .... In my opinion... THAT was death's plan.... "Always look on the bright side of life *whistles*.... Always look on the bright side of life *whistles*... Life's a piece of sh** when you look at it,... life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true... but you'll see it's all a show, keep'em laughin as you go, just remember that the last laugh is on you... ohhhh ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF DEATH!!" (Monty Python's Life of Brian) ... there you have it, that's my review of the movie, I loved it as much as the other 2.... but yes, FD3D sucked, lol ... FD1 (He killed them in the order they were supposed to die), FD2 (He went backwards), FD3 (Death was a joke)... FD4 (same plan as the first movie?!... I don't know, I don't think the guy that made it knew what he was doing, that's probably why it's not called 'Final Destination 4' ... Have a good day... I hope I was able to shed some light on this widely misunderstood third movie. ... Have a good one!Read full review
