action

The opening sequence on the North Bay Bridge in New York ( USA ) was partly realized on site on the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver ( Canada ), and partly with the help of green screens and CGI .

Sam Lawton, cook and employee of a paper company, goes on a company outing in an intercity bus with his work colleagues. Among the course participants is also Molly Harper, Sam's friend, who announces that she wants to break up with him. While crossing the Northern Bay Bridge, which is currently under construction, Sam has a lifelike vision of the bridge collapsing, brutally killing him and all of his colleagues, with the exception of Molly. Once again conscious, Sam realizes that the vision was a premonition and he then succeeds, his friends Nathan Sears and Peter Friedkin, his girlfriend, the gymnast and intern Candice Hooper, the sales manager Dennis Lapman and his colleagues Olivia Castle and Getting Isaac Palmer off the bus and the bridge before it collapses. The FBI is investigating the incident and Agent Jim Block suspects the employees of the paper company who were able to save themselves because of the vision. However, since the investigation report speaks of natural causes as a result of weather influences and structural weaknesses due to the construction work, all respondents can leave.

At the memorial service, the survivors meet a puzzling coroner who warns them of death. A short time later, Candice had one last gymnastics training before an important championship. Despite initial doubts about taking part, Candice is persuaded to train by her boyfriend Peter. A screw loosens from the ventilation grille of the air conditioning system on the ceiling of the sports hall, which a female gymnast steps on, falls from the balance beam due to the pain and knocks over a magnesia bowl. As a result of the magnesia being blown up, Candice loses her grip on the gymnastics equipment and breaks her spine . When Sam arrives at the crime scene to comfort Peter, he sees the coroner who warned her of death at the funeral.

Meanwhile, Sam and Molly get closer in their grief and Molly explains Sam that she wanted to leave him in order not to stand in the way of his career as a chef in Paris .

Isaac finds a voucher for acupuncture treatment in the desk of one of his deceased colleagues . After a chain of unfortunate circumstances, Isaac eventually dies when a falling Buddha statue smashes his head. The remaining survivors meet the coroner again. He explains to them that they should have died in the bridge accident and would now have to die one after the other. The only way to outsmart death is to kill someone who should never die on the bridge and take over his lifetime.

Sam and Molly want to warn Olivia, who is currently undergoing LASIK surgery, of her imminent death. But they are too late. In fear, Olivia scratches one eye out of the teddy bear that she was lying on her stomach, which then falls to the floor. When the doctor tries to adjust the device, he notices that his documents are incomplete and goes out of the treatment room to get them. Due to a short circuit , the laser device overheats and Olivia, who tries to press the emergency stop button, accidentally activates the laser. When she can finally free herself, she slips on the teddy's eye, falls through the glass facade of the house and falls into the depths.

Sam realizes that the bridge collapse survivors will die in the order in which they were in his vision. He shares this with his fellow sufferers. The sales manager Dennis Lapman informs the FBI agent Jim Block about what he believes to be a suspicious request Sam.

Nathan, who would be next in the order, has an argument with his employee Roy at the paper mill about a faulty time card . When Nathan realizes that something is wrong with the crane hook, he tells Roy to step back, which Roy sees as a provocation. The crane hook suddenly crashes and impales Roy's head. As a result, Sam, Molly and Peter assume that Nathan has now been skipped from the list due to Roy's death. The moment it dawns on those present who is next, Dennis is fatally hit in the head by a thrown wrench .

Over dinner in Sam's restaurant, Molly and Sam discuss their new start in Paris, but Peter appears surprisingly. He wants to kill Molly to skip his death because she would never have died in the original bridge collapse. FBI agent Jim Block, who observed Sam and heard gunshots, rushes into the restaurant and is shot by Peter before he is impaled with a kitchen tool by Sam in self-defense. Reference is made here to flight 180 from Final Destination 1 : The name of the restaurant in which Sam works ends with "... MIRO 81". The ending can be read backwards like "180". This becomes clear in a close-up in which only ".... O 81" can be read.

Two weeks later, Molly and Sam are on the plane to Paris. While boarding, they overhear a dispute between two passengers, who are then expelled from the plane with a small group. As the plane takes off, Sam overhears by chance that one of the passengers had a vision of the plane being destroyed. In the next moment an engine ignites and tears holes in the fuselage. Molly is sucked out and chopped up by the tail unit. Sam burns in the explosion.

Nathan, the last survivor, learns at a funeral for Roy that he could have died of his aneurysm at any moment . A short time later, the falling, burning undercarriage kills Nathan and shreds his body.

production

D'Agosto filming Final Destination 5 in Vancouver in October 2010.

Alan F. Horn, Managing Director of Warner Bros. Entertainment , confirmed at ShoWest in March 2010 that a fifth part of the film series was being planned. Producer Craig Perry later added that the film would be shot in 3D . The film was originally scheduled to open in United States theaters on August 26, 2011, but was later postponed to August 12 of the same year. In June 2010, Steven Quale was announced as a director.

In August 2010, Miles Fisher was cast as the first actor for the role of Peter Friedkin. Fisher stated during an interview that the film was a new challenge for the actor, especially with regard to the 3D technology. Three days after the announcement of Fisher's engagement, Arlen Escarpeta was cast in the role of Nathan. Escarpeta promised in an interview that the film would benefit in particular from its good plot and the good director. In late August 2010, Nicholas D'Agosto and Ellen Wroe were announced as actors. The next day, Tony Todd , cast from the first three parts of the series, joined the cast. On August 30, 2010, two other actors in the film were confirmed with David Koechner and PJ Byrne .

Ellen Wroe was a gymnast for 13 years in her youth , so with a few exceptions she was able to depict the scenes on the balance beam and on the uneven bars herself. Another gymnast is the Olympian Brittany Rogers .

The shooting took place between September and December 2010 in Vancouver , where large parts of the first three Final Destination films have already been shot. According to the producers, the film should be stylistically based on the dark first film in the series.

music

The Final Destination 5 soundtrack was released on CD on August 16, 2011 in the United States, four days after the film opened. The album consists of 19 pieces, which were composed by Brian Tyler , the composer of the soundtrack for Final Destination 4 . It is the second soundtrack in the film series, which was released commercially. Miles Fisher brought out a music video for his single New Romance in the course of the film's marketing campaign , in which the main characters of the film participated. The video acts as a parody of the sitcom California High School , but also borrows from the horror and gore of the final destination films.

criticism

Final Destination 5 received average to positive ratings from contemporary critics. According to Rotten Tomatoes , out of 129 professional film reviews, 61% were positive. The average rating of the critics at this point was 5.8 / 10. According to the consensus of the critics, Final Destination is only something for fans of explicit depictions of violence in the fifth iteration. Still, the film represents a surprising comeback for the franchise. It is the only film in the series that received overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics. The evaluation aggregator Metacritic gives the film 50 out of 100 evaluation points, which should correspond to “mixed or average” reactions to the film.

The special effects were particularly positively highlighted by various film critics. Roger Ebert described the effect of the effects as “excellent”. The film-dienst described the 3D effects of the film as "far better spread" than in the fourth part . The intro is "breathtaking" and "a bloody party for all fans of the stereoscopic splatter". Also, "the three-dimensional show values ​​[...] hardly decreased in the further course of the film". It was criticized, however, that "the scriptwriters find it unbearably difficult to fill the dialogues between those experimental arrangements that are celebrated with meaning" and that "once again, form triumphs over content in a frustrating way".

The portrayals of death in the film were perceived by the press as resourceful (“inventive”), Hitchcock-like and exciting, inventive grotesque (“inventively grotesque”) and as gruesome and spectacular (“gruesome and spectacular”). The bridge collapse at the beginning of the film was also well received by critics. The sequence has been described as “spectacular” and “terrifying”, among other things. According to USA Today the effect was fantastic ("terrific") and reminded of a similar scene from Mission: Impossible III . Furthermore, the sequence is staged in a breathtaking manner, staged rapidly and with great attention to detail as well as cruelly in a spectacular manner.
