I thought Final Destination 3 was an average, fun movie, but nothing more. Basically it's the same premise as the other two films but is set at an amusement park where a high school student (played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has a premonition of a rollercoaster accident involving herself and her friends.

This is a film only review. Final Destination 3 is an unexpected continuation of the franchise first brought to us by Wong and Morgan (of X-Files fame) back in 1997.

Some people believe that when your number’s up, your number’s up. There’s nothing you can do about it and you should just accept that we ultimately have absolutely no control over our lives whatsoever. Miraculous escape stories are heard countless times across the world but the fact is that these people obviously weren’t meant to die. You never hear miracle stories about the ones who were supposed to die because, well, they die. And that’s that. What would you do if you had a sudden premonition of your own death – and perhaps those of your nearest and dearest? It would freak you out, right? Almost certainly, you’d think twice about doing whatever caused your ...  Read the complete review
