I couldn't print screen the image from the website so i pasted the link instead. In a nutshell, the gaurtian website basically states that the film is funny, but still gory and enjoyable. This review was contributed by Philip French, and Peter Bradshaw. It includes a summary of the film, and was rated 3 out of 5 stars overall.

The winner
Evidence that 3D can be just as potent for live-action as it's already proved in animation arrives with the opening weekend results for The Final Destination. Kind of a sequel, kind of a franchise reboot, the film opened with £3.63m over the weekend, and £4.6m including takings on bank holiday Monday. 3D accounted for 80% of that tally, despite playing in the format on fewer screens than those projecting it in 2D. The Final Destination is by far the biggest opening for a live-action film in 3D, beating Journey to the Center of the Earth (£954,000 debut) and My Bloody Valentine (£1.34m), as well as the live-action/digital hybrid G-Force (£2.48m).

The Final Destination Production year: 2009 Country: USA Cert (UK): 15 Runtime: 81 mins Directors: David R Ellis Cast: Bobby Campo, Haley Webb, Jenna Craig, Krista Allen, Mykelti Williamson, Nick Zano, Shantel VanSanten, Stephanie Honore More on this film The Final Destination's three-day 3D tally of £2.91m is not far behind the record-breaking opening haul achieved in the format by Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs: £3.18m. However, the film has a long way to go to match Ice Age's lifetime total – the family-friendly hit has so far grossed just shy of £18m in 3D (and £16m in 2D).

The latest Final Destination is convincingly ahead of previous installments of the gory-accidents franchise: the original film opened in 2000 on £1.5m, the sequel three years later on £1.68m.
