Roberto Giacomelli
Nick, su novia Lori y sus amigos Hunt y Janet están asistiendo a una carrera de automóviles cuando Nick tiene una premonición en la que un terrible accidente automovilístico causa la muerte de muchas personas del público, incluido él y sus amigos. Asustado, Nick advierte a los compañeros y causa una pequeña pelea sacando también a otras personas del autódromo. Puntualmente, el accidente ocurre realmente y ahora los sobrevivientes, gracias a la premonición, comenzarán a morir uno por uno de las maneras más extrañas. ¡La Muerte reclama las víctimas que se le escaparon! La saga de la mala suerte llega a su cuarto episodio y esta vez en estereoscopia, única novedad de un producto igualmente inútil y poco original. Pocos saben que era "Final Destination 3", de 2006 y dirigido por James Wong, el que debía realizarse en 3D, naturalmente no el Digital 3D de hoy sino el antiguo tridimensional que se disfrutaba con los lentes de cartón. La idea no se concretó y se tuvo que esperar otros tres años - y una revolución sustancial en la tecnología de visualización estereoscópica - para poder asistir a muertes espectaculares causadas por objetos de todos los días puntualmente convertidos en máquinas asesinas que son lanzadas hacia los espectadores en la sala. Podría parecer obvio decirlo, pero "Final Destination 3D", ahora huérfano incluso de la numeración serializadora, es realmente todo aquí: muertes espectaculares y 3D. Nadie esperaría más, esto es cierto, pero este cuarto capítulo decepciona igualmente por toda una serie de razones que no logran absolutamente pasar más allá de lo obvio y remarcan el mínimo esfuerzo que demasiado a menudo en Hollywood se dedica a fabricar un producto trita-taquilla. Si ya el tercer film comenzaba a mostrar la cola de una saga que preocupantemente reciclaba una sola idea por tercera vez, con "Final Destination 3D" el defecto se hace aún más evidente y nos encontramos frente a otro masacre complaciente despojado de cualquier innovación, incluso aquellas pequeñas ideas que se proponían tímidamente en los capítulos 2 y 3 para animar la trama. Las extravagantes conexiones y los signos por descifrar de "Final Destination 2" y las fotografías premonitorias de "Final Destination 3" eran oro en comparación con el vacío total de este cuarto capítulo, que debería diferenciarse de los demás únicamente por las visiones que el protagonista tiene de todas las muertes, que no sería otra cosa que un expediente narrativo fácil para eliminar el "juego del coger los signos" de las películas anteriores, único motivo - aquí negado - para estimular el cerebro en una saga que apuesta todo al shock visual. Regresión en cuanto a la originalidad, por lo tanto, que se traduce en una inutilidad sustancial. Primer punto. El segundo punto de la lista titulada "Tres buenas razones para decir no a Final Destination 3D" es la poca fantasía en las muertes. Aquello que era la marca distintiva de esta saga corre el riesgo de abandonarnos, ya que se reciclan dos muertes del primer film, otra es demasiado similar a un sangriento estofado ya visto en el capítulo 2 y en general, la fantasía está ausente. Funcionan bien - si no muy bien - al menos dos momentos de preparación (específicamente el de la lavandería automática y el del ala del centro comercial en construcción) y hay una muerte por succión en una escalera mecánica sangrienta y bien realizada, pero las otras dan un sentido de idea mal explotada (el borracho arrastrado por la grúa) si no incluso de mala idea y nada más (el tipo aplastado por la bañera en el hospital). También el nivel de splatter disminuye notablemente en comparación con los dos capítulos anteriores, concentrándose aquí solo en unas pocas escenas y no localizándose en todas las ocasiones de muerte como en los predecesores. Pero es el tercer punto el que podría hacer más daño al espectador, incluso aquel preparado para lo peor, es decir, la escasez de efectos especiales digitales. Al estar en 3D, la película logra enmascarar bien el digital burdo, ya que el espectador está concentrado en el efecto de profundidad, pero en algunos casos ni siquiera la estereoscopía logra cubrir el defecto. Y así, entre automóviles postizos que caen sobre los espectadores, salpicaduras de sangre demasiado falsas para parecer realistas y premoniciones realizadas completamente con la ayuda de efectos digitales, hay realmente mucho por lo que torcer el gesto. No olvidando, por cierto, que si en el cine en Digital 3D la cosa podría "pasar", una vez que la película esté en video doméstico y se decida verla en 2D todos los "defectos visuales" serán acentuados. A favor de la película está, sin embargo, este famoso 3D, bien utilizado en su función primaria y básica, es decir, lanzar objetos, armas y salpicaduras de sangre hacia el espectador. Un juego tan infantil como innegablemente aún divertido. Luego "Final Destination 3D" tiene al menos una escena conceptualmente inteligente, es decir, ambientar el gran final precisamente en una sala de cine donde se proyecta una película "explosiva" en 3D, encontrando así una función autorreferencial no menos originalmente metafílmica para reflexionar precisamente sobre el medio/tecnología que se está utilizando. El reparto está compuesto por completos desconocidos provenientes de series de televisión estadounidenses, entre los que destaca - pero solo por belleza - Shantel VanSanten, que interpreta a Lori. Detrás de la cámara encontramos a David R. Ellis, ya autor de "Final Destination 2" y de "Snakes on a Plane". En resumen, la confirmación de que la saga de "Final Destination" no tiene realmente nada más que decir proviene precisamente de esta cuarta película, que ni siquiera el 3D logra salvar del todo. Se divierte, esto es innegable, también porque la película es corta y pasa rápido, pero la sensación de haber ido más allá de la proverbial fruta es realmente abrumadora. Nota redondeada por exceso.

I had low expectations when I entered the theater to see the 5th installment of the FD series, because the 4th movie was such a disappointment. But after watching it, I was surprised. First off,this movie was way,( and I mean), way better then the last two movies were. It was darker and had a lot of elements from the first movie, which I loved. I don't want to give away too much, but I do want to say that the last scene of the movie will leave you speechless. It had me thinking, "OMG, that was AMAZING how they came up with that twist." One last thing I loved about this movie was that it was well planned out and thought of, unlike the forth movie which was a joke and in my opinion, shouldn't have never been made. The deaths weren't rushed as opposed to the deaths in the forth movie, and it gave more screen time to introduce us to the characters. Note: I will say that there is one death scene in the movie that I didn't see coming, besides the ending. I recommend you see this movie. It might have the same theme as the first four movies, but unlike the first four, it's on a much higher scale.

It's not actually final...

You can just imagine the suits sitting around their big round table discussing how to churn out another financially beneficial Final Destination movie and get away with it. Big suit number one puts forward that they obviously need more inventive mouse trap like deaths. Big suit number two has the genius notion that 3D is again taking off so why not utilise that option too. And that's pretty much all that it took, with the end result being a movie that is very self aware of its roots, but still plays out as the runt of the Final Destination litter.

Just as the director of the first one, James Wong, was brought back to direct part 3, the makers here bring back the director of part 2, David R. Ellis, to direct part 4! Which ultimately proves to be nothing more than some sort of nepotism like factor because The Final Destination is basically just over 82 minutes of poor acting, bad writing and a series of kills weaved together by the odd 5 minutes of barely relevant characterisations (the exposition as painful as the gory deaths!).

The kills entertain as they pretty much always have throughout the franchise, with the opening disaster sequences (here set at a speedway stadium) continuing one of the series' great traditions. While the opening and closing X-Ray/Skeletal credit sequences are superb and a credit to those involved. Yet it all feels so tired, where in spite of the willingness to upgrade the technology, it's still lazy and has nothing to really justify its very being other than that to make easy money.

The makers of part 5 would have to come up with something special to not turn this franchise from being one that was once bright and inventive, into that of a money train joke. 4/10

For some reason this one is named The Final Destination instead of Final Destination 4. Almost looks like they expected this installment to be the final in the series but since the 5th one is about to come out on Blu-ray that was obviously a wrong assumption in that case.

A positive surprise. Most people have said that the second third and fourth film slipped compared to the first one and it wasn’t until the fifth film that the series took off again. Well they’re wrong in my opinion.

This installment was a lot better than the third one. Sure if you do not like gory horror movies then you wont like this film but then why did you even bother with it? Me, I like these kind of films so I was quite happy to see it.

The special effects was much better than the previous film and not so silly and stupid as they sometimes where in the third one. I liked the ending as well. Classical horror movie style ending and really cool touch with those x-ray shots.

More of the same, but with one of the better ‘final girls’ and superior music

The first "Final Destination" movie in 2000 was a rather innovative 'Dead Teenager Movie' in that the killer was Death itself, an invisible spirit. A group of people, mostly teens, escape a great tragedy due to a premonition of one of them and the rest of the movie involves the Grim Reaper systematically slaying the kids who cheated Death in various creative ways, usually an unlikely chain of events. The opening tragedy in the first film was a plane crash, in the second it's a highway pile-up, in the third it's a rollercoaster mishap while in this fourth entry it’s a tragedy at a racetrack. The fifth film (2011) features a bridge collapse.

All of the movies in the five-film franchise tell the same basic story with different characters and minor nuances; all of them are of the same high quality of technical filmmaking. Whether you prefer one or another depends on your preference for cast members and the death sequences (and the locations). Other than these factors they're all basically the same.

Released in 2009, "The Final Destination" (aka “Final Destination 4”) has a quality redhead heroine in Shantel VanSanten. The director wisely showcases her beauty in a tasteful scene, which none of the previous movies managed to accomplish. Haley Webb and Krista Allen are also on hand in the feminine department. The previous film arguably has the best assortment of women in the series.

While it’s true that you know exactly how this film plays out if you've seen the first three installments, or any of them, there are some highlights beyond the females. For one, this movie has the best music yet, whether score or soundtrack. The opening tragedy is thrilling as usual and there are several creative death or near-death scenes involving a tow truck, a pool, a car wash, a cinema and an escalator.

The film runs 93 minutes and is the only installment that wasn’t filmed in the Vancouver area. The entire movie was shot in the East as follows: The speedway sequences were filmed in Mobile, Alabama; the closing mall scenes in McKinley, Pennsylvania; other scenes & studio work in New Orleans/Harahan, Louisiana; and reshoots in Orlando, Florida.

GRADE: B-

This movie has a sweet into too. A race car disaster like no other. Bet that would look sweet in 3D.

Final Destination 4 (or The Final Destination) is exactly what you’d expect, same setup, same formula, but with a heavy focus on 3D effects. The plot is as basic as it gets, just an excuse to showcase over-the-top death sequences. The directing feels uninspired, and while the cinematography makes the most out of the 3D gimmick, it doesn’t do much beyond that. The acting is forgettable, with characters that feel like placeholders rather than actual people. The script is weak, filled with stiff dialogue and little attempt at making you care about anything beyond the next death scene. The sound design is decent, especially during the kills, but the score is generic and does nothing to elevate the tension. If you’re in it purely for the ridiculous deaths and don’t expect anything more, it’s watchable, but definitely the weakest in the series

<em>'The Final Destination'</em> - because apparently <em>'Final Destination 4'</em> was taken?! - is the weakest of opening four entries from this franchise. That's a shame because I liked seeing Bobby Campo as a lead, but I'm not sure he and his co-stars were enough for this one.

For the first time in this series, I'm disappointed with some of the effects - those computer-generated bits for the premonitions have aged badly. The proper gory stuff remains suitably good, if less effective. Aside from the cast and effects, the premise stays largely unchanged and it's dull as.

My money's on <em>'Final Destination 5'</em> (at least they titled it logically) disappointing me, but I'm hoping to be proven wrong.
