During her Graduation Day party with her school at the local amusement park, 18 year-old Wendy Christensen (Mary-Elizabeth Winstead) has a violent premonition of a fatally horrible roller-coaster crash involving her and all her friends. After being let off the coaster along with half the other students the coaster starts. Only when the premonition comes true and everyone on the coaster, including her boyfriend Jason (Jesse Moss), dies, does Wendy realize that it was just the beginning. Teaming up with fellow classmate Kevin ((Ryan Merriman), whose Girlfriend also died, they begin to realize that because they escaped their fate they now have to stop Death from it's plan of killing off the survivors and sealing their fate. They use the picture Wendy took at the Amusement Park to find clues to their friends deaths and try to stop them. They also need to find out who was sitting in front of them and help them cheat death, before they're next. Will they intervene or will Death have its way? (official distributor synopsis)

Though it doesn’t have the impact of the first one’s originality and the opening scene of the second one, Final Destination 3 is the juiciest and sharpest of the bunch, including the splatter-packed scenes of the individual killings. And the chemistry between the likable and well-acted duo of actors works surprisingly well. In the context of teen horror flicks and the fact that this is the third instalment of the franchise, it’s satisfying.

This is a completely identical copy of the first film and does absolutely nothing new. Wong is absolutely terrible and has no talent. While all of the deaths in the second film were a magnificent visual feast thanks to director Ellis, in Wong's rendition, the deaths are godforsaken routines that certainly won't entice the audience. This also applies alongside the assumption that the plot is absolutely devoid of any side plots (the FBI agents in the first film, the interesting idea for outsmarting death in the second). Final Destination 3 is a woefully below-average "dead teen movie" that's not even worth the attention of 14-year-olds trying to watch a "cool horror" movie.

This is what happens when you boil water that has already been boiled twice. That is, trivially, unnecessarily and without any effect or even benefit. It is unrecognizable from the boiling of the first and the second, only the water evaporates more and more with each boiling process.
