Final Destination 3 is a 2006 American supernatural horror film directed by James Wong and the third installment in the Final Destination film series. The screenplay was written by Wong and Glen Morgan, both of whom had worked on the first film. It stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Ryan Merriman, and is set five years[note 1] after the first film. Winstead plays Wendy Christensen, a teenager who has a premonition that a roller coaster on which she and her classmates are riding derails. Although she saves some of them, Death begins hunting for the survivors. Wendy realizes that photos she took in the amusement park contain clues about how her classmates will die, and she tries to use them to save the rest of the survivors.

Development of the film began shortly after the release of Final Destination 2. Jeffrey Reddick, creator of the franchise and co-writer of the first two installments did not return, making this the first film in the franchise to be made without his involvement. In contrast to the previous film, which was a direct sequel to the original, Final Destination 3 was envisioned as a stand-alone sequel, with the idea of featuring a roller-coaster derailment as the opening-scene disaster coming from New Line Cinema executive Richard Bryant. From the beginning, Wong and Morgan placed control as a major theme in the film. Casting began in March 2005, with Winstead and Merriman landing the lead roles, and concluded on April. As with the previous two installments, Final Destination 3 was filmed in Vancouver over a three-month period; the first two weeks were spent entirely on filming the roller-coaster's derailment.

Following its premiere at Grauman's Chinese Theatre on February 2, 2006, the film was released on February 10, 2006 in the United States. The DVD version was released on July 25 and includes: commentaries, documentaries, a deleted scene and an original animated video. A special edition DVD called "Thrill Ride Edition" was also released with the "Choose Their Fate" feature. This acts as an interactive film, allowing viewers to make decisions at specific points in the film that alter the course of the story.[3]

Final Destination 3 received mixed reviews. Negative reviews stated that the film was formulaic and did not bring anything new to the franchise. Positive reviews praised the film for being enjoyable and offering its audience what it wishes to see. Attention was given especially to death scenes involving a tanning bed and a nail gun respectively; these were favorably received, as was Winstead's performance. The film was a financial success and, at the time of its release, the highest-grossing installment in the franchise. Its underlying theme of losing control was noted by reviewers.

Plot[edit]

High school student Wendy Christensen visits an amusement park with boyfriend Jason Wise, her best friend Carrie Dreyer and Carrie's boyfriend Kevin Fischer for their senior-class field trip. As they board the Devil's Flight roller coaster, Wendy has a premonition that the hydraulics securing the seat belts and coaster cars will fail during the ride and kill everyone on board. She panics, a fight breaks out and several people leave or are forced off the ride, including Kevin; best friends Ashley Freund and Ashlyn Halperin; alumnus Frankie Cheeks; athlete Lewis Romero, and goth couple Ian McKinley and Erin Ulmer. They see the roller coaster derail, killing the remaining passengers, including Jason and Carrie, leaving Wendy devastated.

Several weeks later, Kevin tells Wendy about the explosion of Flight 180 and the subsequent deaths of the survivors, believing that the survivors of Devil's Flight are in a similar situation. Thinking that Kevin is making fun of her, Wendy dismisses his theory and leaves. Ashley and Ashlyn are later killed in a tanning salon when their tanning beds short circuit. Then, a shelf falls, trapping them inside, and the girls are burned alive. Now convinced that Death is after them, Wendy and Kevin set out to save the remaining survivors using omens hidden in photos taken by Wendy on the night of the roller-coaster's derailment.

Frankie dies next at a drive-through, when a runaway truck crashes into the back of Kevin's truck and the engine fan blows out. The next day, Wendy and Kevin try to save Lewis at the gym; he tells them that he does not believe them shortly before two weights from the weight training machine he is using swing down and crush him. Ian and Erin are working at a hardware store; Wendy saves Ian from being impaled by falling planks of wood, but Erin falls onto a nail gun and is shot repeatedly in the head. While questioned by the police after Erin's death, both Wendy and Kevin are let go. Assuming that whoever was next must be dead, they decide to ensure their own safety. While leaving the police station, Wendy is stalked by a grief-stricken Ian.

Wendy learns that her sister Julie and her friend were also on the roller coaster, and rushes to the county fair to save them. She and Kevin prevent Julie from being impaled on a harrow while being dragged by a panicked horse, and Wendy asks Julie who was sitting next to her on the roller coaster, since they are next on Death's list. Her question is quickly answered when Julie's friend, Perry Malinowski, is impaled by a flagpole launched by a rope tied to the horse. Wendy saves Kevin from an exploding propane canister and is confronted by a deranged Ian, who blames her for Erin's death. Fireworks go off and nearly hit Wendy, but she ducks and they strike a nearby cherry picker instead. Ian shouts that Death cannot kill him, and the cherry picker collapses and crushes him. Wendy thinks that the cherry picker was meant for her, but Ian inadvertently took her place.

Five months later, Wendy is on a subway train with her roommate Laura and her friend Sean. When she sees more omens she begins to get off, but sees Julie entering the car and decides to stay. Wendy notices Kevin sitting in the back of the car. The train derails, and everyone aboard dies; Julie is hit by a stray wheel, Kevin is crushed between the train and the tunnel wall, and Wendy survives the crash but is hit by another train. This turns out to be another premonition, and they attempt to stop the train. The screen goes black, followed by the sound of screeching metal.

Cast[edit]

For more details on this topic, see List of Final Destination characters.

Like the previous two films, characters are named after horror film directors, actors and producers. Wendy and Julie are named after director Benjamin Christensen, Lewis is named after George A. Romero and Ashley's name refers to Karl Freund.[4]

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

[W]e really felt that the idea of Final Destination, or the fact that Death can visit you and you can cheat death, that that could happen to anyone. And so we wanted to divorce from the first film character wise. We didn't want to follow that same thread. Part of the difficulty in that is when a character understands what happened to them before; it's a whole different way in which they react to what's happening now. We felt the franchise could exist with a new group of people, instead of following those older characters all the way through. We wanted to see if this could work.[5]
— James Wong, on developing the plot

According to DVD interviews with the filmmakers, Final Destination 3 was originally the last part of a trilogy and was in development since the release of Final Destination 2. The idea of death omens in photographs was taken from 1976's The Omen. The film's original title, Cheating Death: Final Destination 3, was changed during development.[6] The companies that co-produced the first film—Craig Perry and Warren Zide's Zide/Perry Productions, and Wong and Morgan's own Hard Eight Pictures—returned to produce Final Destination 3. Practical Pictures and Manitee Pictures also helped with the film's production. It was intended to be filmed in 3D, but plans were abandoned.[7] Morgan revealed that the decision to not film in 3D was mostly due to financial reasons but also because they believed that fire and blood would not be shown properly in the red color filters of anaglyph 3D.[8]

According to Wong, the idea of using a roller-coaster derailment as the opening-scene disaster came from New Line Cinema executive Richard Bryant and was not inspired by a Big Thunder Mountain Railroad incident. Additionally, unlike the second film, which was closely tied to the first, Final Destination 3 was envisioned as a stand-alone sequel featuring new characters from the beginning.[5] Morgan revealed he searched the aisles of a local store at Sunset Boulevard for days to get inspiration regarding Erin's death at the hardware store.[8]

According to Morgan, the loss of control was a major theme that he and Wong had envisioned from the very beginning for the film; this is exemplified with both Wendy, who is afraid of losing control, as well as the roller coaster. He stated that one of the reasons people are afraid of roller coasters is because, as according to psychologists, "[they] have no control" while on them.[9]

Casting[edit]

During casting of the film, Wong sought actors that were able to portray the main characters as heroic individuals with realistic qualities. This sentiment was also echoed by Perry, who stated that for the two lead characters, he and Wong sought actors that "had the charisma of movie stars, but weren't so ridiculously rarified that you couldn't feel like you might know them". The casting of the supporting characters was given equal weight, being considered as important as the casting of the main characters.[10]

On March 21, 2005, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Ryan Merriman, co-stars of The Ring Two (2005), were cast as Wendy Christensen and Kevin Fischer.[11] Winstead, who had auditioned for the previous two Final Destination films, won the role because her portrayal of the character's emotion impressed Wong and Morgan. In the DVD features, Wong said that he had originally intended for Wendy to be a perky blonde and reworked the character slightly after Winstead was cast; according to the director, the actors were right for their roles. On Winstead, Wong said that "[she brought] a kind of soulfulness to her role as Wendy" and Wendy "is deeply affected by the accident, but she's strong, and fights to maintain control". On Merriman, he said that "the moment [he] came in I thought he was the right guy to play Kevin" and described the character as "the kind of guy you want to hang out with, your goofy best buddy, but also someone who could rise to the occasion and become a hero".[12]

On April 9, 2005, Kris Lemche and Alexz Johnson were cast as the goth couple Ian McKinley and Erin Ulmer.[13] Johnson, who was starring in the Canadian television series Instant Star (2004—2008), had auditioned for Wendy's sister Julie; that role later went to Amanda Crew, who originally auditioned for Erin. Johnson said that she wore a rocker jacket for the second reading and was in a bad mood. When she was leaving, the filmmakers called her back to read for Erin and her dialogue in the scene was sarcastic. Johnson thought that her dry sense of humor, which the filmmakers caught, helped her land the role.[12] Lemche said that Ian spouts some interesting facts "that seem to be just right there on the tips of his fingers", and the actor researched most of Ian's information. During the read-throughs, he often asked Morgan about Ian's facts; Morgan wrote him notes and gave him URLs to research Ian's random insertions of odd information."[12]

Jesse Moss was cast as Jason Wise, Wendy's boyfriend. Texas Battle, who had a supporting role in the film Coach Carter, played athlete Lewis Romero. Chelan Simmons, who appeared in the television films It (1990) and the 2002 remake of Carrie, took the role of Ashley Freund. Sam Easton, who appeared in Miramax's film Underclassman, played school alumnus Frankie Cheeks. Newcomer Gina Holden played Kevin's girlfriend and Wendy's best friend, Carrie Dreyer.[13] Crystal Lowe joined the cast as student Ashlyn Halperin. Tony Todd, who appeared in the first two films, did not return as the mortician Bludworth but voiced the devil statue at the roller coaster and a subway conductor at the end.[14] Maggie Ma and Ecstasia Sanders played Julie's friends Perry Malinowski and Amber Regan.[15]

Filming and effects[edit]

Like the first two installments, Final Destination 3 was shot in Vancouver.[16] The Corkscrew roller coaster at Playland was the basis of the Devil's Flight.[17][18] For the premonition scene in which the roller coaster derails, the actors had to ride the coaster 26 times in one night.[19] Winstead and Merriman said in an interview that the film required three months of shooting; the first two weeks were spent on filming the roller coaster scene, and the rest of the film was shot out of sequence. The cast members often rehearsed with each other for better on-screen chemistry.[20]

The Corkscrew roller coaster was used as the Devil's Flight in the film, with CGI and a variety of camera angles making it look larger.

The death scenes required varying degrees of 2D and 3D graphic enhancement, with the roller coaster scene alone being comprised of 144 visual-effect shots. A custom-designed coaster was created and customized, based on events in the script. Most of the model was hand-built, with MEL scripts aiding specific elements. The coaster crash scenes were filmed on a green screen with a CGI background where the actors performed. Several of the roller-coaster's cars were suspended with bungee cords to film the crash, and the deaths required CGI onscreen effects; each actor had a corresponding CGI double.[21]

Meteor Studios produced the roller-coaster and subway crashes, and Digital Dimension handled the death scenes. The death of Ian McKinley, who is bisected by a cherry picker, was especially challenging. A clean plate of the bucket falling was originally shot with a plate of Lemche acting crushed and falling to the ground, with his bottom half in a partial green-screen suit. After setting those plates, Wong said that "he wanted more of a gruesome punch for the shot". A standard CGI body of Lemche's height was used; several animation simulations of crushing the body with a CGI object were filmed, and the director picked the version he liked the most. A new plate was then filmed, with Lemche acting the previous animation and positioning his body at the end. The tanning bed death scene was handled by Soho VFX. It consisted of about 35 shots of CG skin, glass, fire and smoke mixed with live fire and smoke. For the subway crash in the film's epilogue, a CG environment reproducing the main volumes of the set was generated.[21] The film was edited by Chris G. Willingham, the Emmy-winning editor of 24 (2001–2010).[13]

Music[edit]

The soundtrack for Final Destination 3 was composed by Shirley Walker, who also composed the scores for previous two installments of the series. Score mixer Bobby Fernandez created a "gore-o-meter", measuring the violence of each death, to ensure that the score would match the scene.[22] Final Destination 3 is the only film in the series without a released musical score.[23]

Release[edit]

Final Destination 3 premiered at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on February 1, 2006.[24][25][26] New Line Cinema set up a promotional website several months before the film's release. From there, visitors could be redirected to another site that allowed them to download mobile-phone ringtones and wallpapers relating to the film.[27] A novelization written by Christa Faust was published by Black Flame a month before the film's release.[28]

Box office[edit]

The film opened on February 10, 2006, in 2,880 theaters in the United States and Canada and earned $19,173,094 on its opening weekend (an average of $6,657 per theater).[29] Final Destination 3 placed second at the United States box office its opening weekend, behind the remake of The Pink Panther (which opened the same day and earned $20,220,412 domestically). The film dropped to fifth on its second weekend and seventh on its third, dropping off the top-ten list on its fourth weekend.[30] Its last screening, in 135 theaters, was its tenth weekend; the film grossed $105,940 for 37th place.[31] Final Destination 3 grossed $54,098,051 at the domestic box office and $63,621,107 internationally, for a worldwide gross of $117,719,158.[32] At the time of its release, the film was the highest-grossing installment in the franchise; it retained this title until it was surpassed in 2009 by The Final Destination, which achieved a worldwide gross of $186,167,139.[33]

Home media[edit]

Final Destination 3 was released on DVD on July 25, 2006, in widescreen and fullscreen.[34] Special features include audio commentary, a deleted scene, three documentaries, the theatrical trailer and an original animated video.[35] Audio commentary is by Wong, Morgan and director of photography Robert Mclachlan. The deleted scene is an extended version of Wendy and Kevin's discussion after they are questioned by the police.[36] The first documentrary, Dead Teenager Movie, examines the history of slasher films. The second, Kill Shot: Making Final Destination 3, focuses on the making of the film and includes interviews with the cast and crew. The third documentary, Severed Piece, discusses the film's special effects, pyrotechnics and gore effects. A seven-minute cartoon, It's All Around You, explains the various ways people can die.[37] The DVD also includes an optional "Choose Their Fate" feature, allowing viewers to make decisions at several points in the film. Most provide only a minor alternate scene, but the first choice allows the viewer to stop the four characters from getting on the roller coaster before the premonition and ending the film immediately.[38][39] Final Destination 3 was released digitally on streaming platforms Amazon Video,[40] Google Play[41] and Netflix.[42]

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports that 43% of 122 critics gave the film a positive review, with an average rating of five out of ten. According to the site's consensus, "Final Destination 3 is more of the same: gory and pointless, with nowhere new to go."[46] The film averaged 41 out of 100, based on 28 critics, on Metacritic, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[47] CinemaScore reported that audiences gave the film a "B+" on an A+ to F scale.[48]

The film was criticized for being formulaic and not offering anything new to the franchise. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote that the film's main problem is that "it's clear to everyone who must die and in what order".[49] According to the BBC film reviewer Stella Papamichael, Final Destination 3 proves "that this horror franchise really has nowhere left to go".[50] Although Variety's Justin Chang considered the series one of the wittiest in the horror genre, he criticized the death scenes' lack of scariness; they were sadistic, but had "the dramatic import of a kid frying ants under a magnifying glass".[51] Ken Fox of TV Guide described the "downtime between deaths" as "dull" and critizised the death scenes for being staged in a way that didn't allow viewers to understand what was going to happen.[52]

Positive reviews praised the film for being entertaining, having interesting deaths and delivering to audiences what they have come to enjoy from the franchise. IGN gave Final Destination 3 a "good" 7.0 out of 10, with Chris Carle stating that "if Rube Goldberg were the Grim Reaper, this would be the result".[53][54] Sarah Dobbs of Den of Geek!, a publication of Dennis Publishing, called the film the series' best: "a brightly coloured, fast-paced, slightly silly meditation on how we're all gonna die one day, so we might as well do it explosively".[55] Jeff Shannon of The Seattle Times wrote that although the Final Destination films are "pointless and crass, they play on that fascination with malicious efficiency, and 3 is no exception".[56] James Berardinelli of ReelViews agreed, saying that for fans of the franchise "it's unlikely that #3 will disappoint".[57]

The death scenes received positive reviews from critics, especially the tanning bed and nail gun scenes, which were described as "gruesome" and "painful".[45][58] Winstead's performance was praised, with the BBC's Stella Papamichael saying: "... the real tragedy is that promising young actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead must endure this torture".[50] According to ReelViews' James Berardinelli, she "does as competent a job as one could expect in these dire circumstances".[57] Felix Gonzalez, Jr. praised Winstead and Merriman's performances: "The film is not entirely unwatchable. Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Ryan Merriman are likeable in the lead roles."[59]

Analysis[edit]

The film's underlying theme of losing control, something that was intentional by Wong and Morgan,[9] was noted by reviewers. James Harleman of CinemaGogue states that a correlation between this theme can be found with the Devil's Flight roller coaster; the film's opening-scene disaster. Harleman states that every times someone enters a roller coaster or carnival rides, they have "control taken out of their hands" as the rides, with their "grinding gears, speed [people] toward an inevitable end."[60] This theme is also exemplified by the film's protagonist, Wendy Christensen. Dreck Fiction describes the character as a control freak, something that comes in conflict with Death.[61] Harleman believes that Wendy's desire to have control over her life and mortality, something that all humans wish to have, contrasts with Death's desire to control people's fate.[60]
