Glad they are doing a 5th one

The 4th one did beneifit the 3d technoloy though

I would like to know if those people died on the train in the 3rd. On the dvd, depending what options you chose, there was a train crash and the last image was the girl waking up and seeing a train about to run her over or the one used in the cinema was where the girl wakes up, see's a train coming towarRAB her and then she wakes up on the train to discover it was a dream and it enRAB when she warns everyone that the train is gonna crash

The 4th one decided not to answer that
 
The 4th one ended with her on the train, having a premonition of a train crash, then rewound to the start of the crash scene (like they do at the start of all the films), and the premonition started to come true, didn't it?

I assumed they died at the end (going by the 'rules' of the franchise where once your card is marked, that's it) and they just didn't show it on screen because their deaths were set in motion already - whereas in the start of the film premonitions they managed to get off/away before the process started (if that makes sense)? At the start of the films they got off the plane/rollercoaster/didn't go onto the road before take-off/crash whereas this time they were still on the train and didn't manage to get off?
 
That was the 3rd one, the 4th one was "the FINAL destination" and they did it in 3D and stuff, but it was ribbish, had no story, and they all died at the end whn a truck drove into the cafe they were sat in, but they just showed Xray images being smashed up.
 
They said they're going to try and make the 5th one a bit different. I was wondeirng how but perhaps...

The initial accident could be a mass murder (someone blowing somewhere up) therefore it's not in deaths design as death didn't take thier lives another human being did. That would throw things off.

Or perhaps one of the survivors of the main accident was meant to survive but then kills themselves which senRAB out a different ripple effect throughout the other survivors. I know traditionally the films have thier big action scenes but maybe if for instance they have the vision and then something changes for instance an accident on a suspension bridge....

Someone is crossing to go and jump off it, a car swerves, breaks a cable and the thing starts collapsing. That person has already started running away and therefore escape (as they weren't meant to die on thier own terms) but when it comes to the actual events unfolding the person with the vision makes sure that the original person does jump (therefore creating emotional conflict and a three dimensional character).

In letting the only original survivor die the person with the vision has secured the deaths of EVERYONE else that was on that bridge therefore making it so much harder to try and work out who's next - it could be set over several months until eventually he realises (again with the moral dilemma) that they must die. So he maneuveurs them onto the bridge together again and doesn't warn anyone of what's to come.
 
vkmax a bridge collapsing would be fantastic! I shall now be scared driving over any bridges.

I think FD tried to play around with death's plan before. In the second film, when the pregnant lady gave birth, the others thought that by bringing a new life into the world, they would all be safe. It turned out she was never meant to die. Similarly when the girl who had the vision dies and is revived, she and the cop thought that they had thwarted death's plan. It was shown that audiences don't like endings like this. In the original ending of the first film, Clear was supposed to have Alex's baby and that would stop death, but people didn't like this idea. Death will always figure out who was supposed die when or he will just get them all in one place and kill them all. It doesn't matter if someone extra dies. Like the boy in the second film who gets his head chopped off.
 
In the second film one of the survivors tried to kill himself by shooting himself in the head but the gun wouldn't fire despite being fully loaded; the characters could only die in the order they were meant to but, as we saw in the first film, they could manage to survive their second death and go to the back of the queue. They couldn't jump to the front of the queue, thus causing a new ripple.

I think that idea was originally mooted for the 3rd film before it went in the direction it did; the plan for the 3rd would be someone cheated death the first time and couldn't die until it was their turn,and so became addicted to the adrenaline rush af surviving death and so kept trying to kill him/herself in ever more elaborate ways knowing he would survive as it wasn't his turn. Not sure how it would have worked from the perspective of dispatching the other characters though; maybe his/her death attempts would have inadvertently killed off the others? (speculation on my part!)



You're right; I even knew it was the 3rd as I was typing it. Dunno why I put 4th. Thanks!
