During a bus ride with his colleagues to a corporate retreat, Sam (Nicholas D'Agosto) experiences a horrifying vision: the suspension bridge that they -- and many others -- are crossing starts to crumble around them. When his vision ends and, almost immediately, starts to come true, Sam takes quick action that saves a number of people, including his girlfriend, Molly (Emma Bell), and his best friend, Peter (Miles Fisher). However, the survivors soon find that Death will not be denied.

Critics Consensus

It's still only for the gore-thirsty faithful, but Final Destination 5 represents a surprising return to form for the franchise.

3/5

Among this cast of unluckies, there is no future Jamie Lee Curtis. But you do take the film home with you -- to all your own toys -- and that's what decent horror is supposed to do.

Final Destination 5 won't be known for any stellar performances, but first-time feature director Steven Qualye can rest assured he scared the daylights out his audiences.

I don't have a lot to say about Final Destination 5 save that, for the first time ever, I actually enjoyed sitting in a theatre watching one of these efforts from beginning to end.

3/4

The appeal isn’t watching someone in pain, it’s the suspense of knowing something very bad is going to happen but not knowing exactly how, and the humor in watching ridiculously unlucky victims fall prey to absurdly awful chains of events.

A big yes to the 3D bridge collapse and boat mast impaling ... the agonisingly prolonged gymnasium jelly bones moment, the dark me-too comeuppance of sleaze-avenging acupuncture... Dario Argento-operatic laser surgery and the sublime time loop.

This was better than 3... Still one of the worst. Though I may have this one and 4 mixed up because they were both basically franchise milkers with some new rules that set up bloodlines.

The acting was sub par however the kills were pretty impressive! Thought the ending was visually terrifying with the plane crash. 3.5/5.

Im currently watching all of the franchises. The acting was subpar. The first one was the best. They make almost ever black actor come off like emotionally unstable people, incapable of control, and not acceptable of their faith. Candyman is candy man. They did not find it acceptable to have a black person with the "premonition." I didn't think it was racially driven until this sequence. They left the noose around his neck. Which reminds me, in two sequence the bm actually attempted ☠️ but they couldn't fathom the kid in the first one doing it. 1 and 2 were good, but the rest were 🗑. Im currently on bloodline🙌🏾

These reviews are hilarious lol. I’ve seen worse reviews for GREAT movies on here which makes me question rotten tomatoes. The Candice scene alone is so cheesy, legit horrible.

Not as bad as other entries in the series (whitch isn't saying much), but the main characters aren't really that fun to hang out with either.
