I liked this movie and I will likely buy it on DVD. I thought it was very entertaining, and the deaths were normally very suprising (IMO) and creative ( ).
Its basically a slasher film without a slasher. If you like movies like Scream, you will probably like Final Destination. Good mix of comedy and horror.

I really enjoyed it, though probably not to the point I'd buy it. The beginning of the movie started out really promising, unfortunately it didn't quite live up to the potential it could have had. But overall I'd definitely recommend at least seeing it.

I can't wait to own this Platinum Series from New Line. Not only will the DVD be top quality, the movie was extremely entertaining.
I thought the story was original and the death scenes were very cool.
From what I've heard, the guys that made this film also wrote some of the better scripts for the "X-Files" . . . thumbs up from me!!!

I thought it was easily the worst movie I've seen in a long time.
I was rooting for death.
I don't understand how anyone could enjoy it, but to each his own. I wouldn't take this dvd if you paid me.

I loved Final Destination. Definitely one of, if not the best, teenagers-in-a-barrel movies of recent memory. The death scenes are magnificently choreographed, although I think I would've liked it even more (which is saying a lot) if Death had remained a little more mysterious -- if it wasn't clear that Alex was right about there being a design. Tony Todd really didn't need to be in it at all. I was a little disappointed with the epilogue, too...I'm looking forward to watching what Morgan/Wong originally intended for us to see.

I saw this twice in the theater and thought it was great! It's one of the more original stories in quite some time! I've been waiting for it to come out and am psyched!
The bus scene was excellent and cant wait to scare my friends with that one! And the train was pretty good for a twist! Some of the death scenes may have been over the top but when aren't they in a horror flick!
I would definitely recommend it!!!
