Dans ce cinquième épisode, la Mort est toujours aussi omniprésente et se déchaîne après qu’un homme est victime d’une terrible prémonition, laquelle permet de sauver ses collègues de l’effondrement d’un pont suspendu. Ce groupe d’âmes innocentes n’était pas supposé survivre, et, dans une course terrifiante contre le temps, ces malheureux tentent frénétiquement de trouver le moyen d’échapper au sinistre agenda de la Mort.

Roberto Giacomelli
Sam, son ex-petite amie Molly et ses collègues de travail sont en voyage dans un bus pour une convention organisée par leur entreprise, la Presage. Alors qu'ils traversent un pont, Sam a une vision dans laquelle on lui annonce l'effondrement catastrophique de la structure qui causera leur mort à eux et celle de centaines d'autres personnes. Pris de panique, Sam descend du bus arrêté dans une file et avertit les autres passagers du danger potentiel en entraînant Molly avec lui. Certains d'entre eux l'écoutent et le suivent, et comme dans la prémonition, le pont s'effondre causant une myriade de victimes. Mais les survivants de l'accident commencent à mourir dans des circonstances mystérieuses dans l'ordre dans lequel ils quittaient la scène dans la vision de Sam : la Mort est revenue pour régler les comptes ! Depuis 2000, la Mort revient ponctuellement tous les trois ans pour récupérer ceux qui, par un étrange coup du destin, ont réussi à échapper à sa vigilante et inexorable faux. Après le grand succès de "The Final Destination 3D", quatrième volet et pour la première fois en stéréoscopie, la temporalité des trois ans entre un film et l'autre est brisée et un cinquième volet est immédiatement mis en chantier, évidemment aussi en 3D. Résultat ? "Final Destination 5" est à la surprise l'un des meilleurs volets d'une saga qui, bien qu'étant toujours assez divertissante, commençait à montrer une faiblesse préoccupante dans les deux derniers volets. Disons clairement qu'après le décevant "The Final Destination 3D", dans lequel on jouait à la soustraction en éliminant toute apparence narrative au profit de l'ornement du 3D seulement, on ne pouvait pas s'attendre à grand-chose, conscients aussi du statut quasi de film instantané que le cinquième volet avait acquis. Pourtant, la New Line a tiré les leçons des erreurs commises et a conçu un produit qui, en plus d'être rapide, divertissant, extrêmement et grotesquement splatter, réussit également à ajouter des éléments à la mécanique narrative habituelle usée et réutilisée. L'histoire est toujours la même, les mêmes personnes ayant échappé à un désastre collectif suite à une prémonition de l'un d'entre eux qui, un par un, quittent la scène de la manière la plus improbable possible, réclamés par la Mort en personne. Pratiquement le cauchemar de chaque scénariste, appelé à rendre intéressante une histoire mince, schématique et déjà racontée quatre fois au cours des 10 dernières années sans la possibilité de trop s'éloigner des rails préétablis. Eric Heisserer, à qui avait déjà été confié the unfortunate task of updating "Nightmare" with the recent remake and "The Thing" with the upcoming prequel, performs miracles and, while telling the same story for the fifth time, adds new elements, creates a delightful connection with the first film, and even manages to give a minimum of depth to the characters. This time, there is a way to escape Death, and it is not the overtaking postulated in the first and third films, but a definitive salvation (at least until the next, in the best cases, distant moment of departure). The price to pay is high, but a way to outwit Death exists, and this succeeds in giving the story that "quid" that makes it more original and gripping than the previous ones, since this time the scheme can be modified and the countdown of deaths is not so predictable. The way the film also manages to fit into the saga as a precise piece of a mosaic is another point in its favor that gives coherence to an overall narrative that still has more dark points. The characters of this "Final Destination 5" are not the usual teenagers who have populated this saga (especially in the first and third films), but rather a heterogeneous group of people, colleagues, who seem to reflect in their composition the attempt already experimented in "Final Destination 2", to date the most successful chapter of the saga. The characters and personalities are basic and never go into depth, but still manage with a few elements to characterize in a rather convincing way almost all of them, so as to at least make the characters distinguishable and empathize with some of them. Furthermore, just as it happened with the second film, elements of grotesque humor are inserted that reach their peak in the character of Isaac and especially in "his moment" in the massage center. Of course, a lot of emphasis is placed on the strange and original deaths that can surprise and give way to blood and entrails to spread as much as possible. In this regard, it is especially the accident of the first victim, the gymnast, that remains well impressed in the spectator's mind, managing to win one of the top spots in an ideal ranking of the best deaths of the saga. The initial accident on a suspension bridge also surprises positively. Surely, it is the most spectacular of the entire saga and it competes with the chain collision on the highway of the second film as the best in absolute terms. And here we must also recognize some merit to Steven Quale, a nearly debuting director after a long apprenticeship as an assistant to James Cameron, who handles both the spectacularity of the action scenes and the construction of suspense excellently. The experience as an assistant to Cameron in "Avatar" and the direction of the documentary "Aliens of the Deep" will surely have been worth it for the management of the native 3D, which in this "Final Destination 5" works very well. As it happened in the previous chapter, here too the 3D is used not only for the boring depth effect that more and more often gives us the impression of investing badly the difference in price compared to the ticket for the 2D film. But the 3D does its job especially for the dear old amusement park games in which objects of all kinds (including organic fluids and tripe of all kinds) rain down on the spectator, thus giving back genuineness to stereoscopy for what it was originally created for. In the cast of illustrious unknowns - as per the rule - stand out the semi-known faces of Nicholas D'Agosto, whom someone will remember among the protagonists of the second season of "Heroes", and Emma Bell, already a protagonist of "Frozen" and among the characters of the first season of "The Walking Dead". Furthermore, Tony Todd also returns to wear for the third time the mephistophelian role of the coroner who "knows something about the plans of Death", this time with a slightly more substantial space for his character. In short, "Final Destination 5" works to surprise and allows the spectator to spend 90 minutes of sure entertainment. Absolutely recommended to fans of the saga.

You spin me right round baby right round like a record baby.

Hee, no surprise to find great division among horror fanatics, whatever the film or franchise, hot debate - even furious anger - can be found. FD5 has unsurprisingly garnered mixed reactions, but even allowing for the fact that as an idea it's a series that can't get better, part 5 is a considerable step up from the very poor part 4. It also boasts a neat trick of the tail, where some ingenuity is used to bring the series full circle, with a glint in the eye and a bloody tongue in the cheek.

Once again the opening and closing credit sequences are superb, doffing its cap to what is undoubtedly a very popular horror franchise. The disaster that underpins the formula is one of the best to be staged, a mighty bridge collapse that terrifies and thrills in equal measure. Then of course it's same old same old, which you would think anyone venturing into watch would expect anyway. Acting is as usual mixed, but the deaths are up to the ingenious standard set throughout all the other films, and then a narrative twist at the finale arrives to seal the deal for a rollicking good time. We even get a welcome return of Tony Todd - Bonus! If it proves to be the final Final Destination then it's a fitting closure, because there is thought here. Anyone taking on another will have to come up with a whole new idea to appease the horror hordes.

Enough Now. 7.5/10

One of the best of the franchise, if not THE best

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 youths, 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 a highway pile-up, in the third a rollercoaster mishap, in the fourth a racetrack calamity. In this fifth and most recent film (2011) it’s a spectacular bridge collapse and it’s probably the best opening tragedy of the franchise.

All of the movies in the series 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.

"Final Destination 5" features Nicholas D'Agosto as the main protagonist with Emma Bell as his blonde girlfriend. Tom Cruise lookalike, Miles Fisher, is also on hand while Ellen Wroe plays the gymnast. Meanwhile Tony Todd returns as the creepy coroner who seems to know more about the situation than he should.

While it’s true that you know exactly how this film will play out if you've seen the first four installments, or any of them, there are some highlights beyond the females. For one, this movie has a superb score and soundtrack, at least on par with the previous installment. Aside from featuring the most thrilling opening tragedy, there are several creative death scenes involving a gymnast accident, an Asian spa, eye surgery, a factory mishap and a restaurant altercation. This entry also throws in a unique twist that I’m not going to give away (but if you’ve seen the trailer you already know what it is). There’s an additional surprise at the end, which nicely wraps up the five-movie franchise.

The film runs 92 minutes and, like the first three films, was shot in the Vancouver area (the fourth film was shot in the East).

GRADE: B+

Part 5 has a lot more interesting ways to have people killed. There getting wiser and smarter with every killing.

Final Destination 5 is a solid step up from the last few entries, but it still doesn’t come close to the original. The plot follows the usual formula, with a group of people escaping a disaster only to find out that death doesn’t like being cheated. It doesn’t try to break new ground, but it delivers what fans expect. The directing is competent, with well-paced tension leading up to the signature over-the-top death sequences. The cinematography and visual effects stand out, especially with the impressive 3D work that actually enhances the experience instead of feeling gimmicky.

Outside of the thrilling set pieces, the rest of the movie just exists. The acting is forgettable, with performances that feel more like reading lines than embodying characters. The script is serviceable but nothing special, mostly there to connect the death scenes. The score does its job, adding to the tension without being particularly memorable. The biggest highlight remains the creative ways the characters meet their fate, and if that’s what you’re here for, you won’t be disappointed.

<em>'Final Destination 5'</em> actually won me over in the end. There's a detail about it that I didn't know about before watching, it's to do with the conclusion. I'm glad I was unaware, it made it much more enjoyable to see. If you plan of seeing this, go in as blind as possible - it's worth it.

The film does eventually (much of the film plays out similarly, mind) do something different with the plot, which is something I've wanted to see whilst watching the previous four entries. It involves Miles Fisher's Peter, a character that isn't perfectly written but is narrowly serviceable.

Nicholas D'Agosto is a decent lead, while Emma Bell also appears - first time I've seen her act away from <em>'The Walking Dead'</em>. Courtney B. Vance is solid in a smaller role, though P. J. Byrne's character is annoying; one like that is kinda a staple of these, tbf.

The effects are as good as across the opening three films, but are a step above <em>'The Final Destination'</em>. The main event looks the part and is fun to see, I'd say it's the best disaster in any of the sequels. There are also couple of well done deaths across the 90 minutes too.

It isn't an undoubtedly good movie, but I think all in all I'd consider it just about passable. The ending might not totally work if you analysed it deeply (or maybe it would, I don't mind either way) but it worked for me so I'm happy with it.
