In 2000,
Final Destination provided some much needed originality to the horror genre, doing away with any kind of
physical killer and inserting Death itself instead to provide suspense and horror. The movie was smart and exciting;
Final Destination 2 is quite the antithesis.
A.J. Cook, Michael Landes and Ali Larter (reprising her role as Clear Rivers) star as three of the people waiting the inevitable. After a terrible car accident that Kimberly (Cook) witnessed in a premonition, the survivors start dying one by one, but this time in reverse order. The stories of what happened to the survivors of Flight 180 have been on the news for a year, so Kim quickly seeks out the one survivor, Clear, and enlists her help to save them. Of course, that isn''t going to a damn thing.
No one expected Final Destination 2 to be anywhere as good as the first movie, but it had the potential to still be exciting. Unfortunately, coupled with annoying characters and terrible dialogue, and plenty of things that just make no sense, Final Destination 2 is one of the worst movies of the year. The movie is just plain stupid, and should have gone directly to video.
