Very well orchestrated and pretty damn scary / nasty too. You got heavy logs rolling, cars smashing and people screaming. In real life, car accidents would happen in a blink of an eye and before you know it, people got hurt. But in this movie, the accidents seem to keep going on and on and on. Its scary to watch but at the same time have all the entertainment value that it need to be one of the best opening disaster scene in the series.
Best Ending Disaster Sequence
Final Destination 3 - Train Derailed
I love the ending to this movie. It's kind of ambiguous and you could not tell whether they make out the train alive or not...although I doubt they did. It all started out innocent enough when suddenly the 3 remaining 'survivors' met in a subway train, then all hell break loose. It's cool that the filmmaker toyed with the audience about the fate of the survivors so that we kind of hoping that they did make it out alive. At least I was hoping for that. But like I said, I had my doubts....
Best Lead Character
Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Wendy Christensen (Final Destination 3)
This award is for to the main character who first received the premonition. I was torn between Devon Sawa (from FD1) and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Although Devon Sawa was more believable and portray an emotional character which I love, I still have to pick Mary Elizabeth Winstead because...I guess I just love her character more. She's an incredible actress and an even more great scream queen of this generation.
Best SupportingCharacter
Ali Larter as Clear Rivers (Final Destination 1 & 2)
This award refer to all the other characters other than the main character who received the vision. Some of the best characters in my opinion include Olivia Castle (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) from FD5 and Kat Jennings (Keegan Connor Tracy) from FD2. But Clear Rivers is no doubt my favourite character from all the entire film series thus far. She's very quiet and somewhat timid in the 1st movie but turned to become more of a brave and gutsy character in the 2nd movie. I love her character more when she was timid and a little reserved but the fact that she had survived the horrific ordeal in the 1st movie and returned in 2nd makes me love her character even more. She's a fighter! I was also delighted when the character's name was briefly featured in the 4th movie.
Best Looking Couple
Bobby Campo & Shantel VanSanten as Nick O'Bannon & Lori Milligan (The Final Destination @ FD4)
Well, a lot of people might disagree with me but I honestly believe they are the best looking main couple in the movie series. They complement each other and have great chemistry on screen.
Best Individual Death Scene
Hanged in bathtub - Tod Waggner (portrayed by Chad Donella, Final Destination)
This award is very, I mean VERY, difficult to pick. I have numerous scary death scenes to choose from and I found that the death scene for Tod Waggner from the 1st movie is by far my favourite from all the movies. What separate this scene from all the other gory scenes is that it featured a slow and painful death compared to a lot of other death scenes which are quick and gory (crushed by a glass pane, crushed by two iron weights, ran over by a vehicle, smashed by a stray wrench, etc.). It was so hard watching the scene as you could almost feel that you were suffocating too. It's scary, tragic, sad and excruciatingly painful to watch. Personally, this is by far the scariest of them all.
Most Suspense Death Scene
Gymnastic practice went wrong - Candice Hooper (portrayed by Ellen Wroe, Final Destination 5)
Okay, so this awesome death scene didn't won the Best Individual Death Scene Award, but it is certainly the most suspenseful of all. The characters, of course, didn't fully aware of what was going on around them but the audience were left clutching to their seats as we wait for the 'death' to occur. Will she be crushed by the giant fan falling from the ceiling? Or will she step on a nail and fall off? Electrocuted??? What? What will happen to her?!?! The laser eye surgery was another cool death scene from FD5 but this one definitely deserves the award.
Best Overall Story
Final Destination
It's the movie that starts it all. Clever plot, amazing group of casts, dark and creepy atmosphere in the film and horrifying death scenes, need I say more?
And with that last award, we shall end our show here. I hope you enjoy this small show that I prepared and please support the FD movie series as I personally think it is a great franchise. For those who haven't watch the movies, better watch them now. Happy viewing!
