Wendy has a premonition that she will die on a rollercoaster ride she is about ready to take. But after it actually crashes, she and the others who got off the doomed ride must face a terrible truth. Death has a plan, and no one escapes from it when it’s their time.Before you pass this off as another in the long line of made-to-order teen horror flicks take into consideration the fact that that was exactly what the filmmakers wanted Final Destination 3 to be. A group of stereotypical (i.e. a smart, virginal “final” girl, the dumb jock, the goth girl, etc) teens are lined up and offed in ways that must have taken the screenwriter and stunt people months to dream up. The most thrilling sequence in the film had to be the opening part where the characters take an unforgettable ride on the damned rollercoaster which will make you sweat the next time you’re in a line at a Six Flags. The improbability in the ways some of the characters were killed could leave non-horror film aficionados rolling their eyes or perhaps they could start griping about how they have seen this film before because it’s basically the same story as the first two Final Destinations and a million other horror films. The only originality this film was concerned with was finding newer, more shocking ways to dispose of people.
Another feature which made this film fun to watch was that the dvd was interactive. Audiences are able to “choose the fate” of the characters and watch what would have happened if they were in charge of who lives and who dies by selecting a special option on the disc. It’s kinda like those old Choose Your Own Adventure books you read as a kid, except this time if you choose wrong, blood will be spilt.
