This film is notable for being the first (and only) released in . The deaths are designed for theatrical gimmicks—objects fly directly at the camera. The plot is thinner: a security guard, George, notes that the survivors are dying in the reverse order of their intended seats.

Memorable Deaths | Victim | Method | Iconic Moment | |--------|--------|----------------| | Hunt Wynorski | Eviscerated by a pool drain | His intestines sucked out (3D effect) | | Carter Daniels | Exploded by a car engine block | The tire hitting his face first | | Samantha Lane | Killed by flying debris from a cinema explosion | The metal shard through the eye | | Lori & Nick | (Vision) Coffee shop explosion | A false "happy ending" subverted | Theme Spectacle over substance. Widely considered the weakest entry. The deaths are gory but the characters are shallow, and the 3D effects age poorly. Film 5: Final Destination 5 (2011) Director: Steven Quale Premonition: North Bay Bridge collapse Protagonist: Sam Lawton (Nicholas D'Agosto) Plot Summary Sam has a vision of a suspension bridge snapping, sending cars and people into a fiery river below.

This film introduces the idea that you can "read" signs. The photographs reveal hidden clues. Also, the film has a dark "choose your own adventure" DVD feature. Film 4: The Final Destination (2009) Director: David R. Ellis Premonition: McKinley Speedway crash Protagonist: Nick O'Bannon (Bobby Campo) Plot Summary Nick has a vision of a massive racing car pileup where debris flies into the stands, killing hundreds. He forces his friends and a few strangers to leave. The crash happens. Now, Death stalks them. Final Destination All Five Parts

The survivors of film 1's crash were on a plane, and film 2's survivors were on a highway—but they are linked because the highway debris was from the plane crash. Death's design is a web.
