Life’s destination is death

***1/2 out of 5


With the box office success of Final Destination, it would seem natural to make a sequel. However, it would also seem to most people that it is impossible to have two final destinations.

Final Destination 2 begins by explaining what happened in the first movie so people can understand what happened in the previous film.

Kimberly Corman, played by AJ Cook, wakes up with a strange feeling on the one-year anniversary of the tragedies from the first movie, only to realize that she has a closer relationship to the tragedies than she ever would have believed.

Kimberly has a premonition of a car accident killing 18 people, including her. She goes on an interstate on-ramp and stops traffic to prevent the other people on the on ramp from dying.

The accident she sees in her future does occur, but not with the people that were supposed to be involved. Since the people on the ramp survive death, it is now necessary that they die like they should have in the gruesome interstate pile up.

Kimberly tries to explain to the wreck survivors that they have to die. No one believes her. One by one they do begin to die in the order predicted.

This is when everyone starts to believe the entire prediction is true. They all hang out together, and the group, as a whole, witnesses several deaths of other people. Together, they search for answers.

The sole survivor from Final Destination, Clear Rivers, played by Ali Larter, who has until this point been voluntarily locked in an insane asylum to avoid death, joins the group to help figure out how to stop death.

Thomas Burke, played by Michael Landes, is a cop who is among the survivors determined to escape death, and he and Kimberly spend the remainder of the film trying to escape death.

In the end, they finally figure out the secret to the journey they’ve been on, and they beat death.

This movie was extremely bloody and detailed in the ways that people are killed. Whether or not a scary scene is about to take place or whether the movie just wants to make you think that, this movie will make your stomach turn and keep you on edge.
