Boxoffice Magazine
It's the best 3D horror movie ever made, as much for its superlative technical merits as for its satisfying thrills. - 75
Slant Magazine
If the series really does end here, may this final installment be hailed as a triumph of poetic justice. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
To borrow from TV terminology, the series hasn't jumped the shark yet, but the strain of inventing bizarre deaths is beginning to show. - 70
Variety
This latest entry in the 11-year-old horror series duly adheres to tradition by providing inventively grisly demises for various characters. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
They (fans) know what they enjoy. They don't want no damn movies with damn surprises. I am always pleased when moviegoers have a good time; perhaps they will return to a theater and someday see a good movie by accident, and it will start them thinking. - 50
Chicago Tribune
If more of the picture had the inventively grotesque payoff of the scene set at the gymnastics tryout, capped by a female character's inarguably poor dismount, we might have something to puke home about. - 50
Philadelphia Inquirer
Director Steven Quale is economical: He ditches plot altogether, delivering instead nothing but set pieces. He does come up with a few genuinely creepy moments of Hitchcockian edge-of-your-seat suspense and a few very inventive deaths. - 42
The A.V. Club
While FD5 is less generic and less facilely goofy and ironic than past series installments, it's still a rote execution of formula that scores its biggest points with self-aware references to its predecessors - including a closing-credits montage of kills from Final Destinations past.
