The seven deaths covered are ‘Janet Explosion Death’, ‘Samantha Engine Block Death’, ‘Cowboy Racetrack Death’, ‘Racist Truck Death’, ‘Lori Escalator Death’, ‘Hunt Pool Death’ and ‘Gearhead Fence Death’ you can either watch each one individually or use a ‘play all’ function
The soundtrack has a wonderful dynamic range, going from high frequencies right down to as low as 25Hz on the LFE channel and delivering some really deep and solid bass through both the music and effects. However the dialogue is always intelligible, even when all the sound elements are engaged and remains firmly anchored to the centre speaker. As is often the case, dialogue is a combination of production sound and ADR and as such at times it lacks spatial integration. The lively orchestral score combines well with the other sound elements and projects an expansive soundstage that extends throughout the soundfield, for an engaging sonic experience. The soundtrack utilises energetic atmospheric and sound effects that are combined with extensive panning and directional placement to truly enhance the visual excitement. As such it is a well produced soundtrack that offers an aggressive soundfield that perfectly compliments the less than subtle visuals.
The new 3D Blu-ray of The Final Destination includes the same DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1-channel soundtrack that was included in the previous 2D release. There are a few instances of crosstalk but these are rare and overall this is an aggressive 3D assault on the senses that is thrilling to experience and preferable to both the previous 2D and anaglyph 3D presentations. The 3D photography also achieves its intended aim of creating both depth and a convincing imagery and overall the 3D is undeniably effective as a narrative device. Objects are frequently hurled at your face to jolt your senses and enhance the effects which can be very effective, occasionally resulting in the urge to duck. This results in a great deal of gimmicky in-your-face and out-of-the-screen visual effects that are designed to add more shock and gore to the plot of the film. However the filmmakers fail to show the restraint that Cameron himself has shown when shooting in 3D and they use a lot of negative parallax. The film was shot in native 3D using the Pace System and Fusion 3D digital cameras that were developed by James Cameron. The imagery is visually engaging with well rendered dimensionally and a generally sharp and perfectly clear picture. The previous 3D release used anaglyph 3D and was of very poor quality but there are no such worries with this new 3D Blu-ray release.
#FINAL DESTINATION 1 BLU RAY FULL#
The Final Destination was originally shot in digital 3D and intended for 3D theatrical exhibition and this is the first time the full 3D experience has been available for home video. Flesh tones are natural in appearance and resolution is very good with plenty of detail throughout, although this sometimes makes some of the CGI look less realistic. The contrast is also good, with deep and solid blacks and excellent shadow delineation with plenty of depth. The 2D version is identical to the previously released disc and exhibits the same excellent image with fully saturated colours and warm hues.
#FINAL DESTINATION 1 BLU RAY 1080P#
There is an option to watch either the 2D or 3D version and both are presented with an aspect ratio of 2.40:1 using a 1080p transfer that is encoded with the VC-1 codec. This new release is also multi-region but boasts a Full HD 3D transfer which delivers 1080p high definition images to each eye. The Final Destination has been released previously on Blu-ray as a multi-region two disc package, containing a standard 2D presentation and an anaglyph 3D version.
