A light comes on in the theatre and a young man of about 26 walks to the
front of the movie screen that looms before you and faces the audience, a
solemn expression on his face.
"Thank you for coming to this advance screening of the trailer for the latest Final Destination movie. Some of you may recognize me from my small part in the second movie. That is beside the fact. Well, you all have your comment cards and I shall personally read each and every one of them after this screening. Without further ado. . ." he explains to the hushed crowd before quickly moving away from the screen so that everyone might see the trailer.
The lights dim, and the screen fills up with the green effect which shows the rating, as it always does when preceding a movie trailer.
This Fiction Has Been Rated "R" for Extreme Violence and Content
The screen changes to the image of an average American High School, the season appears to be autumn. As the camera pans upwards and moves towards the front doors of the school, we hear a masculine voice lecturing. It is indistinct at first, and as we get closer, we hear that he is talking about how death has many superstitions in many different cultures.
". . . and that class is why in many Shakespearian plays that deal with death, you see this kind of scene. Are there anymore questions" the teacher's voice finishes with a flourish.
As the camera continues to pan upwards, the bottom of the school's name begins to come in from the top of the screen. A female voice chimes in as this occurs.
"Yes, Mr. Holt. Can you tell me about the superstition surrounding the events of last spring and the spring before?" she asks, her voice expressing an interest not usually found from a high school student, either this girl is interested in the class, or the topic she has just raised.
As the question is asked, the camera shows the school's name plaque: MOUNT ABRAHAM SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL.
There is a brief flash of the disasters from the first two movies, the airplane exploding in midair and the semi truck barreling through the fiery inferno is seen. It isn't enough to really consciously recall the scenes, but it is enough that we get the gist of what it is.
"Well, the story goes a couple years back, there was a student named Alex Browning." Mr. Holt begins
A picture of Alex flashes by on-screen for a split second.
"He said he saw the plane explode before it happened"
For a split-second, a picture of Alex shouting about the plane exploding flashes.
"Then the plane did explode. Well, a couple months later, everyone who got off the plane started dying."
A quick series of pictures show the deaths of the first movie.
"Then, a year later, a group of strangers nearly died in a major traffic pileup. They were saved by a young woman. Unfortunately, almost all of those people died within the period of the next few days."
Another series of pictures of the second movies' deaths flash by.
"They say that Death still has a score to settle with those who survived, isn't that correct Ms. Burke?" the voice finishes, the camera now showing the inside of a classroom, where we see Kimberly Corman from the second movie.
"That's what they say." She responds and smiles.
The picture on-screen fades and then we see a series of short clips of about a couple seconds each, this time of completely new people. The clips each change with the loud report of a gun.
The first is a young man falling, surrounded by bright cables
The second is a car falling from above towards a young woman
The third is a series of flying metal shards thrown by an explosion
The fourth shows a car exploding.
The fifth shows a man tackling a girl in a wooded area as a sharp branch falls behind them, barely missing them.
Another series of quick stills flash by too quickly to process them and then it pulls back to reveal that the images have been in a green eye, which blinks once as we hear heavy breathing of someone out of breath. The screen goes completely dark once more and the title appears:
Final Destination 3: A New Beginning . . . of the End
William Bludworth appears and simply intones. "Sometimes the end to you is merely the beginning to someone else."
Then the Credit information appears and then the screen goes dark for the final time.
