It's a weak start of a season that's long overdue.

I've seen entire Vol1 of S5 and it just can't hold a candle to S4. Stakes just seem forced, mystery is lost, there's no tension, character chemistry seemed to drop and worst of all, charm is gone with adults pretending to be younger.

It's good that they'll conclude the story and it would have been much better haven't they waited for too long.

It's sad what passes as 'comedy' this days.

I've watched it so that YOU, dear reader, don't have to.

It's like Bridesmaids and Die Hard had a baby. But they were both on substance abuse during that time. Action doesn't work, comedy doesn't work, it's chaos in worst possible way.

Some, rare jokes work, but 90% of "humor" is embarrassingly bad, forced and without any chemistry whatsoever. Without spoiling anything, it feels like bad parody of a bad parody at times.

That takes me to chemistry; Rebel Wilson does try to put some heart into it, but again, term that goes through my mind since I watched it - FORCED.

So, does it pass to kill some time? Only if your bar is low and your popcorn's salty.

Re-watch some 90s or early 2000s comedy instead.

First movie was original at the time and it combined interesting story with terrifying ways to go. 2nd movie got rid of scary part and focused on deaths, it was ok enough. And then we come to this.

Acting is subpar, average at best. Protagonist is especially weak in delivering emotions, crying aside.

Since this is 3rd movie in the series, originality is gone, and by this point, so is element of surprise. It's watchable and that's not good enough.

PRO TIP: Watch 1, 2 and the 2025 movie. You can skip the rest. Mentioned trio is better than average "horror" of the era when Final Destination was first introduced.
