At the beginning when she had her first premonition Frankie dropped the camcorder which made the roller coaster wreck ...if he got off in real life how did the roller coaster wreck if you didn't drop the camcorder...?
"X-Files" veterans Glen Morgan and James Wong return to the franchise they created and make a third film that's about as good as the original, but that's not saying too much since the first film was kind of a mixed bag. Completely ignoring the first two films, this one starts with an entirely new set of teens, led by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who while taking pictures at the carnival with her new fangled digital camera has a premonition of death that she and her friends are all about to be killed on a roller-coaster. As with the prior films, they "cheat" death by not going on the roller-coaster that soon kills a slew of people and they are then each killed or nearly killed in various elaborate sequences. Wong and Morgan do come up with more interesting of sequences and build better suspense than part two, and they actually do improve on the first film with having a more likable of leading character in Winstead, though credit probably goes to Winstead and not Wong and Morgan (though Wong and Morgan probably do get credit for including a Joey Ramone bobble-head in Winstead's bedroom). As with the other films, this isn't a classic, but is watchable for horror fans.
"Final Destination 3" gives us another set of victims who have cheated death, only to have death come at them one by one to give them worse, cringe inducing deaths. The movie follows the tried and true formula of the series: the main character sees a vision of her death and those of others, and manages to avoid it; nudity; violent, graphic deaths that are preceded by a strange chain of events; and the futile attempt of the victims to prevent their deaths — no, this is not a spoiler as this is all part of the "FD" package. Fans come back to this series not to see if the characters die — we all know they will — but to see how they will die. "FD" movies will never win any award for storytelling; its goal is to provide fun, albeit slightly twisted entertainment on seeing characters die horribly. My most memorable, movie moment is the scene when the two blonde ditzes die in the tanning salon. Their deaths are probably the most horrific because of how long it takes them to die.Mannysmemorablemoviemoments
I must say this is better than I originally thought! I thought this is gonna be more cliché. On the other hand, the string of events were played out well and in a very Final Destination feel. You really have to appreciate the film for what it is bec. if you'll think it's just plain RIDICULOUS or IMPOSSIBLE, it's not Final Destination! Mary Winstead (Wendy) is also pretty!! I like her eyes and face! I just gotta point that out bec. I find her attractive even tho I'm a girl.. XD must be just admiring but nothing else!! XD The acting is also believable!! NOT THE BEST but way better than other actors! I was actually observing Wendy and Kevin in this movie and the emotions and the FEEL was there! Not the best but believable.. I also noticed the orchestra playing in the background giving it like a classical feel.. I imagine that old movies also have unreal or very dramatic or sudden play of events like in this film.. I think it also got an inspiration from the oldies.. or did it?? Anyway, it was a good movie! Netflix (or our net/my laptop) kept on lagging so I had to pause a lot of times also bec. of pixelated moments but I still enjoyed it and got myself into the movie thoroughly! Not the best movie, but for how it's supposed to work out.. it did a very good job! It's not at all that predictable like how I imagined it to be! :) Also, I like some of the comedic scenes like how that perv was saying at Ashley and the other popular girl's funeral that he was the cause of their death coz of the pressure of looking good! Some of the lines of the characters about to die were a little cheesy and repetitive but I appreciate the part where Ian Mckinley was talking about Law of Newton and such.. Maybe I have yet to expand my movie list but I appreciated this more!
