Synopsis: On what should have been a fun-filled day at the races, Nick O'Bannon has a horrific premonition in which a bizarre sequence of events causes multiple race cars to crash, sending flaming debris into the stands, brutally killing his friends and causing the upper deck of the stands to collapse on him. When he comes out of this grisly nightmare Nick panics, persuading his girlfriend, Lori, and their friends, Janet and Hunt, to leave... escaping seconds before Nick's frightening vision becomes a terrible reality. Thinking they've cheated death, the group has a new lease on life, but unfortunately for Nick and Lori, it is only the beginning. As his premonitions continue and the crash survivors begin to die one-by-one--in increasingly gruesome ways--Nick must figure out how to cheat death once and for all before he, too, reaches his final destination.

I'm such a fan of the three previous movies, especially the second and third one. On these previous movies, everyone of them were attached to the first experience or movie, when they faced a similar situation and they got the complete information about how things happened and all the effects related with this situation, for example, the sequence of deaths, the things that would happen (showed in pictures, etc). The daily, usual activities that killed all these people in these previous movies gave its own trademark. Maybe I was expecting something different in this new sequel, especially because the name and trailer try to sell the idea that this new sequel will be "different" from the previous ones, it will be "The" Final Destination, that they will be able to break the death process. Well, I was totally wrong. It was just more of the same shown in the previous three movies, with just a big difference. It was way more predictable than the previous ones. Besides that, the cast wasn't able to offer the emotion and suspense, sense of horror that I was able to feel in the previous movies. Really cheap acting performance in some important scenes and moment through the movie, but well, I could at least say that I enjoyed it, it was good watching it at the movie theater though.

What did I like from this movie?

1. That it was filmed in 3D
2. The effects shown in some scenes were really good, especially when they were shown in 3D

What did I dislike from this movie?

1. The cheap acting performance from most of the cast involved in this movie. For example, the moment when the security guard is trying to kill himself. When the guys find him in his room trying to die hung but the rope breaks and he falls in the floor and gets up and starts talking, walking and doing things like nothing happened... not even a single cough or feeling like chocking!
2. The guy that dies in the pool, his role sucked. The bad guy that doesn't care about anything, just like a similar guy in the second movie, the one that dies in the field cut by the wires. In this movie, this guy was "too much" obvious that was acting more than playing a role
3. The situations involved in every single death were a bit more exaggerated than any of the previous movies. In the previous three movies, every situation that led to every death looked like spontaneous mistakes and situations that provoked those deaths. In this movie, every situation looked like they were manipulated for an invisible person who managed every single mistake (real or not) to provoke these deaths

I would rate this movie with a 3/5
