Plot
In 2005, six years after a group of high-school students first cheated death, another teen (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has a premonition that she and her friends will be involved in a horrifying roller-coaster accident.

Why It's Anything But the Death of You
- It's a nice addition to the Final Destination series and it's considered the improvement of the first two films.
- The acting is a step up from the first two films, especially Mary Elizabeth Winstead's amazing performance.
- The death scenes are very creative, especially the tanning room scene, which is one of the scariest scenes in the whole film.
- The idea of having a roller-coaster disaster is pretty terrifying.
- Awesome soundtrack, that is almost full of suspense that was performed by Shirley Walker, just like he did on the first two films.
- The writing is pretty decent and it did way better than the first two films.
- The storyline is way better than the first two, which is well done.
- Likable characters, especially Wendy and Kevin.
- The ending is pretty horrifying, where the Subway train crashed at the end of the film.
Bad Qualities
- It still suffers from being formulaic and predictable and doesn't bring anything new to the series.
- Some of the characters aren't that great. Frankie and Lewis are extremely unlikable, Erin is underutilized, and Perry is barely a character.
Reception
Despite it getting a 43% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 41/100 on Metacritic (Mixed or average reviews) with a 6.1/10 user score rating, many fans agree this to be the best of the Final Destination series.
Trivia
- It's the final film to be performed by Shirley Walker before her death on November 30, 2006.
