After a high school senior, Wendy Christensen (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), has a fatal premonition of a disastrous roller-coaster accident that involves her and her friends, she warns everyone and luckily gets herself and many of her friends off the roller-coaster before it sets off. When the roller-coaster sets off, it crashes, just like in her premonition. But the unseen forces of darkness once again set out to kill the survivors that were supposed to die in the freak accident.

This is a completely identical copy of the first film and does absolutely nothing new. Wong is absolutely terrible and has no talent. While all of the deaths in the second film were a magnificent visual feast thanks to director Ellis, in Wong's rendition, the deaths are godforsaken routines that certainly won't entice the audience. This also applies alongside the assumption that the plot is absolutely devoid of any side plots (the FBI agents in the first film, the interesting idea for outsmarting death in the second). Final Destination 3 is a woefully below-average "dead teen movie" that's not even worth the attention of 14-year-olds trying to watch a "cool horror" movie.

Though it doesn’t have the impact of the first one’s originality and the opening scene of the second one, Final Destination 3 is the juiciest and sharpest of the bunch, including the splatter-packed scenes of the individual killings. And the chemistry between the likable and well-acted duo of actors works surprisingly well. In the context of teen horror flicks and the fact that this is the third instalment of the franchise, it’s satisfying.

This is what happens when you boil water that has already been boiled twice. That is, trivially, unnecessarily and without any effect or even benefit. It is unrecognizable from the boiling of the first and the second, only the water evaporates more and more with each boiling process.
