Final Destination 5 - Visual effects for the opening scene

The opening sequence of Final Destination 5, as it was filmed, and the final result, side by side.

The way they throw money at a greenscreen to avoid having to actually film stuff. I'm sure the animators are working very hard and are extremely good at what they do, but all impressiveness of a special effect is lost for me when it's computer rendered. They're over relying on green screening to such a ridiculous degree, even in areas where it's completely unnecessary, that it totally breaks my immersion.
Also, I'm pretty sure they could do this scene with practical effects if they at all cared about the art of film making. The physical restrictions of actors and effects were one of the reasons film makers had to be innventive, which did lead to interestingly shot scenes.

I'm sure they'd do it all practically if it were possible, affordable and safe. Not much of this scene is.
