Review strictly about the 3D blu ray version: This movie is the pinnacle of 3D presentation
This review is confined mainly the the 3D effects,audio and video quality, and not to the movie itself.Yes, the film will not appeal to many people due to its gory, bloody and disgusting nature. However, this blu ray edition is SIMPLY OUTSTANDING!!!It appears that this movie was shot with the same 3D technology as that used for AVATAR. I don't know if this is true or not, but this movie simply pours out the best of 3D effects in every single bit! Almost every 5 min, something will pop out (truly, POP OUT!) of the screen, to satisfy your 3D cravings. In the scenes without 'pop-out' effects, the 3d is still brilliant. You can sense great depth in the frame. Try the opening scene in the stadium. You will literally feel the height, depth and layers of the stadium seats. The blu ray video quality is outstanding with breathtaking clarity and sharpness. Color saturation, contrast and overall quality of the HD transfer is nothing but best in every single scene.Having owned many blu ray 3Ds, I can definitlety say that this blu ray 3D is THE Demo disc for your 3dtv system! This is almost equivalent to the Disney PIXAR Toy story 3 3D in terms of Full HD 3D presentation. Yeah, there is gore (and a lot of it), but if you are trying to see the limits of your 3D system, stop here. The audio is mind blowing, that can put you right in the middle of the scene. Simply brilliant by all means!This disc includes the 2D version of the movie too, and for those who are wondering, this newer version of the blu ray is designed for today's 3D TVs. This blu ray does not have the red-blu 3D glasses. You can use it with your active (shutter) glasses (for those who have either Samsung or Sony). For one disc, the price is bit high (considering that you can get Disney's 4 disc sets in the same price range), but the 3D HD quality compensates for it.

The "Final Destination" on loads of crack and cartoony wierdness...
This is a very bizzare movie. It is like a Final Destination installment on loads of crack. Think "Crank: High Voltage" and you've got a clear view of this movie, almost.This movie is covered in CGI, which is done for the 3-D. It is so strange, with some really overly cartoony effects, including falling concrete, a flying motor, etc.It's somewhat of a self-parody almost.I really enjoyed the opening scene with the race cars; I thought it wouldn't be up to par with previous movies but it was. The car wash scene was also very well done. Some deaths were so insane, like a guy being pulled through a overcharged pool drainer, a woman getting a motor on top of her, a man being hit into a fence and parts of him being cut in squares, etc. The ending with people seeing a 3-D movie brought self-awareness.What it does lack in further plotting, though the agressive vision style, and one character accepting death so he can see his wife and kids I thought worked well.Other parts were funny like a character being referred to as "the racist", the incompetence of the main character, one extremly stupid guy, and a lot more.Some people will hate this movie for what it represents in the franchise; a total exploitation of silliness and way too much fun that it can't possibly be enjoyable. But it is.I for one hope they make Final Destination 5 on a cruise ship, with death being a real thing. Keep the CGI but make it a lot darker and the franchise will keep going strong. "The Final Destination" will always be noted as the wierd one, and I think it's a good thing.

NOT REAL 3D ! WILL ONLY WORK WITH THE CHEAP FLIMSY PREHISTORIC CARDBOARD GLASSES SUPPLIED
I’ve been watching quite a few 3D movies recently and I love all the final destination ones, but I have never been as disappointed with a 3D Blu Ray disc as this. The film itself was fine. When I excitedly opened the box I was greeted with a cheap pair of cardboard plastic glasses that you used to get in the cinema about 20 million years ago with one eye in red flimsy cheap plastic and the other in blue. I thought never mind , they may just be an optional type. After starting the film I realised something was wrong and tried two pairs of my own 3D glasses without success. Even checked my TV had recognised 3D content which it had done. The only ones that work are the cardboard ones they supply , which didn’t even fit properly , didn’t line up the image sharp enough and completely distorted the colour of the image and made it a reddish blue (all due to the colour of the plastic lens in the glasses). I spent most of the movie fiddling around with them trying to make the image clearer. I suspect the movie was not shot in the real 3D we get normally. I’ve since read from another review that it was never released in the UK as 3D digital format. Will definitely be reading reviews thoroughly before I buy as I guess it’s my own fault for not doing so but I hope this review can save others from being disappointed and wasting money!

Finally Final?
As many have already noted this is standard "Final Destination" fare. If you have seen the others in the series this is little different and, I have to admit, weaker than the previous entries. But then what should you expect from a series of films? Elm Street got weaker with occasional good scenes, Planet Of The Apes weakened, The House movie series weakened (possibly they didn't even start that well!) so is it any surprise that an effective rewrite of the first in the series doesn't pack the same punch?The deaths ARE very contrived and (possibly) too far fetched but then if Death was cheated and wanted the escapees then their deaths would be contrived even if they weren't so far fetched! The film does move at quite a speed and the characters don't really come alive before they are killed and with a cast of pretty much unknown actors it doesn't make the movie leap off the screen but again the expectations shouldn't be high if you consider how much this is a remake rather than an original idea.I agree with another reviewer that the CGI was too much here and perhaps the over reliance on entrails to mark deaths was overused but this is where the slasher/serial death movie has come to after so many years. It's okay if you are happy with this kind of movie, which I am, even if it does have more weaknesses than the previous films IMHO, but it may just be too same-y for others. Mind you if you didn't like the first three, as another reviewer has commented, then why buy the fourth??

The movie has not still arrived was meant to arrive yesterday
Not happy as it feels like I've been waiting a while for this movie was meant to arrive yesterday but still not come and I have a feeling this movie Is not the correct movie like the picture advertised as I think its one of the 3d we're u have to wear the coloured glasses but the cover definitely shows it should be a 3d Blu-Ray original but il find out for definite if it ever arrives

Good old fashion 3D
Film is alright. It’s a bit weird watching though as I got this on Blu-ray and I have a 3D system and TV, but of course the UK version has never been released in digital 3D. You have to wait for Final Destion 5 for that. Plot is the same as the other final destination movies. Someone has a premonition and a small group therefore survives an accident they shouldn’t have. Death is mad at being cheated and so chases after them in the order they should have been killed. Deaths are usually unrealistic but hey it’s part of the fun.

My Favourite FD movie
Many people on here say that the fourth instalment of FD is the worst. They say that the acting is pants. That the script is lacking. Well, by now most people know what to expect from an FD movie. Teenagers getting splattered all over the place in a variety of creative ways. Not really Oscar material is it? So, who cares about the acting. It's functional, it does the job. If you want quality performances may I redirect you to 'The Piano' or 'The English Patient'. Yawn!This is my favourite episode of the five. It's a complete tear-up from start to finish. The opening Nascar scene is a blast, literally. Great fun! Don't be put off by the nay-sayers. If you like FD movies, this will not disappoint.
