On a business retreat, protagonist Sam has a premonition of a horrific bridge collapse, where he and his co-workers die. He manages to get some of his co-workers and boss off the bus. However, the bridge collapse happens. Soon after, the survivors get picked off one by one and Sam must find a way to stop his friends from dying. The film also features a detective who is investigating the mysterious events that occur. And Tony Todd returns in this film (which I loved).

I think this film is on par with the first one. Compared to the other 3 that came before it, this film was a breath of fresh air. It felt original, with each creative way that the characters interact with Death. It had that relatively slow pacing like the first one, slowly building up to the characters' eventual demise. I especially loved the twist ending at the end, and how the writers were able to connect the film with the original. I like that the main characters got on the same flight 180 plane as the original characters. I felt that it was a smart way to tie the films together. If there were any cons, I would say that some acting is over-the-top, but that's to be expected for a film of this genre.

Overall, a great closer to the Final Destination films! Highly recommend if you're a FD fan!

7.5/10
