Not as good as the first one, but gorier *minor spoilers*

Rating: 6/10 (17 December 2005)

I saw this movie expecting to see another cleverly done psycho thriller, and I have to admit, it did pretty well. The death scenes were thrilling to watch, and they were very gory. But the acting was mediocre and the there wasn't much characterization, which makes it hard to mourn when you watch them meet their crimson ends.
The disaster at the opening is awesome and memorable, much more intense than the plane crash in the first. Also, the one with the premonition is a girl, Kimberley Corman, who is already dealing with the death of her mother. Kim blocks the highway, also stopping several other people. They argue and think she's just a loon, until they see the pileup that death scheduled them to be in happen before their eyes.
At first, they don't think twice that this wasn't their only encounter with the reaper. But soon one survivor was killed in a grisly accident involving a ladder(you can see the movie to find out what happened) when the second survivor meets his maker, she turns to Clear Rivers, the sole survivor from the first movie, for help.
Even Clear's knowledge of death's design doesn't keep some more from dying, so they must figure out how to thwart death's rage, leaving blood and guts in it's wake. Towards the end of the movie, the whole series manages to take a turning point, and they make some surprising discoveries, including how Alex and the others getting off the plane unknowingly saved the pileup survivors.
Overall, I'd have to say that despite having much more gory and intricate death scenes, this flick couldn't manage to live up to the original, perhaps that was because James Wong didn't direct it, but you'll be glad to know that Wong will be directing the third part of the series:).
