On what should have been a fun-filled day at the races, Nick O'Bannon has a horrific premonition in which a bizarre sequence of events causes multiple race cars to crash, sending flaming debris into the stands, brutally killing his friends and causing the upper deck of the stands to collapse on him. When he comes out of this grisly nightmare Nick panics, persuading his girlfriend, Lori, and their friends, Janet and Hunt, to leave... escaping seconds before Nick's frightening vision becomes a terrible reality.
Thinking they've cheated death, the group has a new lease on life, but unfortunately for Nick and Lori, it is only the beginning. As his premonitions continue and the crash survivors begin to die one-by-one in increasingly gruesome ways - Nick must figure out how to cheat death once and for all before he, too, reaches his final destination.

This is picking up mixed reviews, so thought I'd add my 2p worth.
First off, I love the Final Destination series, it was a clever twist on the whole 'teen slasher' genre.
However, this movie just looks tired, with laughably poor traps set by 'death'. It's like the FD team have run out of ideas and enthusiasm.
Same for the actors - you will never have seen acting as wooden as this.
Don't get me wrong, it was a good way to kill a few hours in 3D at the cinema - the effects though clearly CGI were still entertaining - and genuinely startled the audience (some even ducked!)
However, on DVD with none of the 3D, it's really not worth watching...
I really like the first 3 movies, but this one is a dissappointment. It seemed to be detached from any of the other films, the only reference to anything from before was a 10 second mention about the plane crash from the first movie. Sometimes it almost seemed too comical. Plus the ways in which people died were just too overdone, it was like machines were operating themselves and inanimate objects moving around on their own, at least in the first movies the accidents were believable. The only reason I have given it 2 stars is the fact it is in 3D and made me jump a couple of times.
