Positive Elements: Scarce. Alex and his fellow survivors pull together in an effort to escape "death" and stay alive.

Spiritual Content: It's twisted to be sure, but Final Destination subtly invites horror fans to think about the eternal matters of life and death. Also, a Hari Krisna passes out pamphlets at an airport. At a memorial service, a pastor recites from the book of Ecclesiastes. One character is accused of being a witch and a warlock (both are false accusations). A man declares, "Gods don’t die. Gods live, we die."

Sexual Content: Sneaking a peek at a Penthouse magazine, a teenager briefly views an image of a topless woman (it is implied that he also wishes to see a female friend naked). Afraid his death is imminent, a teenage boy regrets not fondling a girl. Girls wear low-cut blouses. A couple makes out in public.

Violent Content: During a catastrophic event, people are shown bleeding while intense heat melts a man’s flesh. An unfortunate few are sucked out of an airplane to certain death. A cord strangles a man in a shower stall. Fluids are extracted from a corpse at a mortuary. A bus runs over a pedestrian at full speed (the audience is spared the actual impact, but blood spatters from the collision all over onlookers). A shard of glass impales a woman and knives pierce her body. Scrap metal serves as an instrument of decapitation. A dangerous rescue results in electrocution.

Crude or Profane Language: The f-word and s-word are integral parts of the dialogue. God’s name is abused five or six times and other profanity appears as well.

Drug and Alcohol Content: A woman pours a glass of vodka. Some friends sip beer and wine at a restaurant.

Other Negative Elements: Two unnecessary scenes feature men sitting on toilets going to the bathroom.
