More like this. Watch options. Storyline Edit. Whilst heading onto the highway, Kimberly Corman has a vision of a huge car accident. Bringing the traffic to a halt, Kimberly is horrified when the accident actually happens. Kimberly links the occurrence with a similar event a year earlier: the Flight disaster. After speaking with Clear Rivers, the only remaining survivor of the Flight disaster, Kimberly discovers that Death's pattern has been disturbed, meaning everyone who was originally supposed to die will now be killed in separate freak accidents.
Kimberly and the remaining survivors must work with Clear to try and stop Death from repeating its process. It's not over yet Did you know Edit. Trivia Real logs were tested for the crash sequence, but they "didn't bounce enough"; therefore, the logs are CGI in this film.
But after that, someone could have saved Clear so that it skipped her again, and then Alex died after that. Since Clear says she and Alex cheated death dozens of times, it must have even jumped back and forth between them several more times.

Top review. Shock Value -- 7 Good Flick. You know that feeling you get when you're watching America's Funniest Home Videos and the oblivious son hits his hapless father in the crotch with an aluminum bat? It gets a quick reaction, like, ooh, I feel your pain man. Bodies are slammed by trucks, heads are impaled, and limbs fly through the air.
When one of the characters dies when her car's airbag explodes out of nowhere, I blurted "Yeah! Wow, did they do that??? Yeah, they DID do that. Right on! Many movies would shy away from smashing up plastic ketchup-filled dummies, opting instead to avoid the gore. This movie is an honest approach to movie-making, hearkening back to the day when you got together with friends and said, "Okay, in this scene we cut to the dummy falling off the building, it's run over by a Mack truck, and it splatters chunks of blood all over that Oldsmobile over there.

Carpenter Man with Hooks Frank Mrs. Corman Peter Gibbons Mrs. As with the first movie, the premise is that we cannot escape death when our turn has come, so if we were meant to die in an accident but somehow skip this fate, then we are due another visit from death to correct the omission. In this case, strangers on the merge to the highway avoid death in the form of a fiery pile up due to the premonition of the pretty but uninteresting, Kimberly A. While still congratulating themselves for not dying, the survivors begin to fall victim to a string of bizarre accidents.
Kimberly seeks out the sole survivor from those fated to die in Final Destination , Clear Rivers Ali Larter , who has some helpful things to say but cannot stop the body count from rising. Not bothering with everyday movie conventions like plot, acting, or logic, this wisp of a sequel found its competitive advantage in Final Destination and pursued it with gleeful abandon.
The first movie took the time to follow teen horror flick conventions, to develop characters -as thin as they were - and to throw in some theories about why all these people were dying. In the second movie, all these time-fillers are skipped and the movie becomes a heaping helping of mind-boggling mayhem.
In many ways, tunneling all of the sequel's energies into a smorgasbord of imaginative deaths works better than the heavy-handed "suspense" of the original film. The acting is mediocre at best. Do they solve the riddle in time? Few will care, considering that there is no reason to like any of the characters and the main thrill of the movie comes from the elaborate nature of the deadly accidents. If this movie is supposed to be a scary thriller, then it flies far of the mark.
If, however, Final Destination 2 seeks to take us no further than bloody spectacle, then it does a fine job indeed. Families can talk about the characters' different reactions to surviving the accident, and facing the continuing danger to themselves. One of the characters proclaims that he is the master of his own fate and that therefore he will not die. Parents might discuss this concept of fate and the role of our own actions to influence our futures.
