Death is gonna getcha! That's the hook luring moviegoers in for yet another helping of sadism and slaughter—now in the form of Final Destination 3. The filmmakers seem to have decided that the philosophical questions, the twisted humor, and the style of the first two films were unnecessary. All they do this time around is focus on the spectacularly bloody ways in which this crop of teenagers is harvested.
Christopher Lyon (Plugged In) says the original film's philosophical questions about life and death�?Is the timing of our death predetermined? Can we avoid death for now? Will it matter if we do?"—have been abandoned. "Director James Wong and his crew no longer seem to care about such big ideas, if they ever did. Instead, they simply repeat the same story line and up the wattage of the violence. More blood. More gore. More gross-out moments. The film falls into a predictable, eventually monotonous pattern of ratcheting up the tension by showing us how the universe is aligning to dismember the next, oblivious victim."

David DiCerto (Catholic News Service) says, "Little more than a tedious series of gratuitously grisly fatalities strung together by a perfunctory plot, Wong's film tries to out-gross its predecessors with increasingly intricate ways to kill its young cast, mere props for sadistic sight gags. �?The film's underlying themes of fate and predestination offer a classic pagan—or even Calvinistic—view of life, at odds with Catholic teaching about God's providence."
