Here's a sequel that didn't really need to be made – so simply throw it on the pile with all the others in the same situation. After starting off with an electrifying opening – lets just say it quickly builds up to one of the most terrifying and realistic major motorway accidents ever put on film – the plot takes a step backwards, turning into a mere lukewarm retread of the first film, in which the elaborate death scenes of the main characters take centre stage over acting, plot, and imagination. Of course, in films such as these, the death scenes make the film, and the emphasis is on gore and bloodshed here, so expect body parts to go flying (literally in some cases),sometimes ridiculously so.
The cast is generally sub par, delivering lame dialogue with little intelligence or wit. Of the original cast members, only Ali Larter returns, her character greatly improved here, and Tony Todd, making another sinister cameo appearance; his role the highlight of the entire movie. Otherwise this is derivative stuff, which nonetheless builds up the tension as it goes along. The viewer is asked to engage in a fun guessing game with the writers, trying to figure out who's going to bite it next. Things end with a contrived finale in which the final 'twist' scene is so obvious and overdone, the film as a whole is flawed. Only fans of gore, death, and SFX need apply, and if you're happy to sit back and enjoy that kind of thing, then FINAL DESTINATION 2 does enough to get by.

Plot summary
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 that occurred one year ago, on the same date that she had her premonition: the Flight 180 disaster. After speaking with Clear Rivers, the only remaining survivor of the Flight 180 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.

Rip-off sequel is all about the gore and nothing else
Lesser continuation of original
It's one year after the plane crash in the first movie. Kimberly Corman (A.J. Cook) foresees a multi-car pileup of death and destruction. Her premonition stops a whole bunch of motorists from dying, but only for awhile. Kimberly tries to seek help from Clear Rivers (Ali Larter) who is the sole survivor from the first one.
The concept is no longer new. It's the same weird-things-happen and the survivors die. They hope to discover an ultimate way to defeat death by bringing new life into the world.
It doesn't help that Kimberly's friends who we get introduced to are killed off right away. Most of the victims are little more than interchangeable no names to be crossed off one at a time. It's great to see Ali Larter back in the series. Too bad it feels so much like a repeat.
Gasp!
One of the most shocking an horrifying movies ive ever seen.. Great ride...
