Once again, a teen’s vision saves a group from certain death. Afterwards, the survivors begin dying in elaborate ways as they desperately search for a way to change fate.
Quick Review: The fun in Final Destination was the Rube Goldberg-like death scenes. Final Destination 2 is more of the same. The dialog isn’t as sharp and the added way to escape fate is unnecessary, but the convoluted deaths are still a kick. With the exception of Clear Rivers (Ali Larter), a holdover from the first film, Final Destination 2 doesn’t even attempt to create sympathy for the characters. They exist to die, and as they do it well, it’s hard to complain. I can’t rank this any higher as there is nothing that wasn’t done as well or better in the first.
