Critic Reviews

  • Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

    Since not even 3-D can put your eyes out, our only hope is that this time, the title is a promise and not a tease.

  • Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

    [A] silly and predictable fourth installment in the lucrative thriller series about pretty young people attempting to cheat death.

  • Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

    With the exception of Williamson, the actors are as disposable as their characters, and there is no story to speak of.

  • Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York

    Even a mediocre FD is better than more Jigsaw.

  • Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter

    Death comes in 3D but everything else is tedious.

    I have watched all the final destinations except the first one! Damn. But I'd say the second one is better than this. First time I found a movie like this (sequel looks better than the beginning one).

  • Eric A


    Some of the worst CGI I have ever seen. Considering this film was made in 2009, there should be no excuse! There is nothing new here as far as the script goes, just the same ol same (everyone dies in a certain order). ZZZZZZ goodnight.
