The cinematography constantly thrusts objects toward the camera lens. Screws, car tires, splinters of wood, and severed limbs fly directly at the audience.

To understand Final Destination 4 , one must understand the cinematic landscape of 2009. This was the year James Cameron’s Avatar rewrote the box office rulebook, prompting studios to push 3D technology into every genre imaginable.
