FINAL DESTINATION.

   Final Destination is a 2006 American horror film, and the third film in the Final Destination seriesNew Line Cinema. The film was directed and written by James Wong, who co-wrote and directed the original, and was produced by Craig Perry. It was released in North America on February 10th, 2006. 

  Six years after the explosion of Flight 180, Wendy Christensen (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), the school photographer at McKinley High School, visits an amusement park with her best friend Carrie Dreyer (Gina Holden), Carrie's boyfriend Kevin Fischer (Ryan Merriman), and Wendy's boyfriend, Jason Wise (Jesse Moss). As they board the Devil's Flight roller coaster, Wendy has a premonition that it will crash, killing everyone. 

  Wendy panics and gets off the roller coaster along with Kevin, popular girls Ashley Freund (Chelan Simmons) and Ashlyn Halperin (Crystal Lowe), athlete Lewis Romero (Texas Battle) goths Ian McKinley (Kris Lemche) and Erin Ulmer (Alexz Johnson) and alumnus Frankie Cheeks (Sam Easton). A fight ensues and they are separated. Minutes after the ride is started, the roller coaster malfunctions and the people still on fall to their deaths.

   A few days later, Kevin tells Wendy about Flight 180 and Alex Browning, whose premonition saved seven of his classmates from the plane's explosion.

 Kevin claims that the people who got off the roller coaster will start dying just as the survivors of Flight 180 did. Wendy thinks Kevin is mocking her and drives away.

Ashley and Ashlyn are burned alive in overheating tanning beds. After their deaths, Wendy takes Kevin's warning seriously, and researches not only for details related to the Flight 180 incident, but also other unexplain phenomenons related to premonitions and omens.

  Not long after a memorial, Kevin's truck crashes into Frankie's car, causing the engine to blow out and cut away the back half of his head. Wendy and Kevin look at her pictures and realize that they are omens of how the survivors are to die. Using this, they try to save Lewis. Still a non-believer, he denies the warning before his head is crushed by two weights. They then try to save Ian and Erin.

Ian explains that Death must be some kind of plot, and if Wendy were to kill herself, It would ruin Death's plans for her, since she is not next to die. It would save everyone else still alive. Planks of wood and metal containers almost fall on Ian, but he is saved by Wendy. Sawdust goes into Erin's eyes; she tumbles backward and is shot in the head by a nail gun.

While trying to find out who is next on Death's list, Wendy looks at the pictures and realizes that her sister Julie (Amanda Crew) and her best friend Perry Malinowski (Maggie Ma) were also on the roller coaster and goes to look for them while being stalked by Ian. She locates them with Kevin at a county fair. Julie is nearly impaled on a harrow while being dragged by a frightened horse. Kevin saves her in time, but the horse launches a flagpole towards Perry, impaling her. Wendy manages to save Kevin from a gas explosion. Ian confronts them about Erin's death, blaming Wendy. Wendy is next on Death's list, but she ducks just before fireworks hit her. A McKinley celebration sign mounted on a cherry picker suddenly falls, killing Ian.

Five months later, while alone on a train, Wendy runs into Julie and Kevin. Realizing something isn't right, she has a premonition the train will derail, killing everyone on board. Once she snaps out of the premonition, they all try sounding the emergency unsuccessfully. The screen cuts to black and everyone's fate is left ambiguous.

  The film was released on DVD on July 25th, 2006 in both widescreen and fullscreen. There is a second disc of special features, including three documentaries. Two of these documentaries involve the making of the film while the third is about the "dead=teenager" sub-genre of horror films. Other features include an animated short entitled "It's All Around You" and trailers/TV spots for the film.

  The DVD also includes an optional "Choose Their Fate" feature which allows the viewers to play the movie and, when prompted, possibly alter the events of the film. The main differences are in how the character's die, even though the order of their deaths remains the same. Frankie is shown to survive in this version, but he is arrested for filming smut; his fate afterwards is not revealed.

  This version also reveals the fate of Kimberly Corman (A. J. Cook) and Thomas Burke (Michael Landes) from Final Destination 2 in the form of a newspaper article that the viewer can read.
