	Media	Author	Review
		Ian Nathan Empire	"The good natured carnage is only occasionally let down by a bog-standard chase finale and a script that occasionally feels as though it's being delivered by Austin Powers' Basil Exposition.(…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Stephen Holden The New York Times	"But even by the crude standards of teenage horror, 'Final Destination' is dramatically flat. Mr. Sawa's teenage clairvoyant is colorless and charisma-free"
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"It has mordant humor, Rube Goldberg death traps and sophomoric but earnest discussions of fate. Also an opening sequence that assures this film will never, ever, be shown on an airplane. (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Sarah Dobbs Den of Geek	"[It] is, in retrospect, pretty great (...) It’s not really scary, though. It’s insidious, it gets under your skin, but it’s not scary in the way we’re used to horror movies being scary."
		James Berardinelli ReelViews	"I stand in awe of 'Final Destination' - awe that a motion picture of such unmitigated stupidity could make it to the screen (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"
		Ben Falk BBC	"This is far better than your regular fodder - a fun romp with some genuinely chilling shocks. (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Time Out	"It's difficult to say which is more offensive: an uninspired cast struggling with lines about 'Death's design', or the callousness of the characters, who bury their pals without a hint of remembrance or regret"
		Nick Nunziata IGN	"For a psycho horror fanatic like me, it's not as effective as popping in a Carpenter or Romero film, but for folks looking for a fun flick, this'll do.
