Final Destination 2

Plot synopsis:
It begins with a TV newsman talking about Flight 180 and its survivors and who got killed. Only one person survived, Clear Rivers (Ali Larter).Then we meet Kimberly (A.J. Cook), who is going on a road trip with her friends.They start their trip. She is driving with her one girl friend and two stoners in the back. Her dad calls her and tells her that her transmission fluid is low and to get it checked. She says ok and hangs up. Her friend tells her not to stop the car, though, when the warning light comes on. While driving, Kim sees a bus full of rowdy football players, a jocky looking guy, a cyclist, a mom and her son, a truck with logs, a guy drinking in a truck, a stoner, and a cop. Then, when the cop spills his coffee, the truck's cargo falls off. One of the logs goes through his window. The stoner's car flips over the cops, the cyclist falls off and his rammed by his motorcycle, the mom and son blowup, and the stoner gets hit by a truck. Kim's car flips and she thinks all is ok, until she sees the jocky looking guys car on fire. It gets hit by the other truck, which comes for her car, until she wakes up out of a dream.She pulls over, stopping some people. The cyclist (Eugene), mom and son (Tim and Nora), a pregnant mom, the jock aka lottery winner (Evan), the stoner (Rory), a rich girl (Kat), and the cop (Thomas). He stops and asks Kim why she is blocking traffic. She says that she saw an accident. He doesn't believe her, until the truck passes by. The cars start blowing up. Kim freaks out, Thomas runs to his cop car to alert the other cops, and runs back to save Kim from an oncoming truck, which hits her car, killing her friends. She cries and is taken back to the cop station with the others.They all talk about how coincidental it is that Kim saw it just like Alex did in the first film. (The highway was Highway 180). Eugene tells everyone about it, how everyone died. Thomas notes that one lived, Clear Rivers. They all talk about how they are going to die, and then leave. Kim's dad arrives and takes her home. She talks to her dad about her mom and all the death stuff.First, we see Evan, who was a lucky lottery winner and is getting a bunch of messages from women over his money. His microwave blows out as his hand gets stuck in the garbage disposal, after trying to get his ring. He gets out of his apartment right before all of these things start blowing up. He climbs down a ladder, which won't come down, so he forcefully jumps on it, making it fall. He lands on his feet, but slips on some food. The ladder comes down within inches of his head, but after a few gasps, it goes through his eye.We see Thomas looking up on articles about the Flight 180 incident. He comes upon Alex Browning, the survivor from the first movie, who apparently, while with Clear, was killed by a falling brick. Then we see the other survivors from the car incident, watching the news. Kim sees it and goes to her room. She looks at all her pictures of her friends, looks up Clear Rivers, and goes to the mental institution where Clear is. She talks to Clear, who tells her that she should just save herself, and that all her friends will just die. She feels kind of guilty after Kimberly storms out. She goes home and finds Thomas there. They talk until Kim sees a reflection of pigeons, which scare her. She turns around and sees nothing there. Kimberly deduces that Nora and Tim are going to be attacked by pigeons. We then see Clear in her cell, where she has a sudden change of heart, considering leaving the hospital.Tim and his mom, Nora, are at the dentist. Tim goes inside. Then the doctor is about to put a needle in his mouth, when a bird hits the window. The dentist says he can't do that with all the distraction, so he gives Tim laughing gas instead. Back in the main room, a fish tank has just begun leaking near a half-pulled out plug. As he is drilling, the dentist hears glass break, and leaves Tim with his mouth open. While Nora and the dentist are trying to get rid of the bird, the plug blows up the circuits. The gas tank turns up all the way. A dangling plastic fish from the ceiling falls into Tim's mouth, who almost chokes until the dentist's aid takes it out. They leave after Tim almost dies. Tim walks near a construction site next to the hospital, while standing under a giant piece of glass.Some birds come and break the wire, causing it to fall and crush Tim's skull.Nora cries over the incident. Kim arrives and tries to take Nora away, but Thomas stops her. She says that Nora is next. Then Clear arrives. She takes them to the morgue, where they meet the mortician, William Bludworth. He tells Kim that the only way to stop death is to create new life. She doesn't understand, but this comes to importance later. While at a gas station, Kim has a weird vision, that she is driving a van and it crashes into a river. Thomas then realizes that new life could mean pregnancy. There had been a pregnant lady Isabella stopped before the incident. Thomas sends out an APB on the white van Isabella was driving.All of the survivors gather at Thomas' apartment. They all talk about who's next, Nora knows it's herself. Kim gives them all cellphones, saying that if Kim sees something, she will call them. Eugene doesn't believe this stuff, so he picks up his jacket, starting for the door. A ball rolls out into a mousetrap. It flings up and knocks down a boat, almost killing Clear. She tells everyone to be careful. Somewhere close by, a cop finds Isabella, the pregnant lady, in the white van, and arrests her for stealing the van, jokingly set up by Thomas.Nora leaves with Eugene in an elevator. They are with another old man, a guy with a basket full of prosthetic arms. Some of the arms had hands, others had hooks. Back at Thomas', while Rory is securing the potentially deadly things, he knocks down a bunch of stuff. He looks at the ground and sees a shadow of a body and some hooks. Thomas calls Nora, who drops her cell, getting her ponytail caught in the hooks, and tells her that hooks are going to kill her. She doesn't understand, until the hooks trap her hair in the cart. The old man tries to get her free, but the elevator opens and she runs out, only to get her head caught between the doors. The elevator tries to go up and Nora is being choked by the elevator doors, the top of the elevator entrance way, and the floor of the elevator. Kat and Kimberly try to pull her down which cause her to become decapitated. Eugene is scared and crazily goes back to Thomas'. He threatens everyone with a gun and puts to his head, shooting six times, with nothing coming out. He breaks down and cries, while Thomas inspects the gun. It is fully loaded. Kim says it wasn't his turn.They leave the apartment. Next scene shows the cop that pulled over Isabella putting her in the prison. As they start arguing, Isabella's water breaks. The cop panics and they leave in her van. Back to the others, they are driving. This is where the first movie comes into play. They talk about near death experiences. Eugene explains that he was a teacher, and he was sent to another school. The teacher that took his place died two days later. Kat says that she was in a bus when it killed a girl in the same town Clear was from. It was Terry from the first movie, and the teacher was the one who died in her house. Then Rory says he was in Paris, on acid and all this stuff, when he saw a guy get killed by a falling sign. Thomas says that there had been a train wreck (Seann William Scott's head and Kerr Smith's car from the first film) and that he had been sent to that, while his partner died, where Thomas was supposed to go. Kim just saw on TV that some kid tried to strangle himself in a bathtub. They are all connected to the Flight 180 survivors.As the cop and Isabella are speeding down the road, Kat's tyre pops and they almost hit Isabella's van. The car goes out of control, and crashes. A log goes through the side, pinning Kat to her seat, and a sharp pole through the back of her headrest. She almost hits it. Eugene has some kind of liver problem and can't breathe. Some farmers arrive and Kim tells them to call 911. He goes to the hospital. A camera crew arrives, only to hit a rock, breaking their gas tank, causing it to leak. Rory hands Kim his wallet and his keys, and asks her to get rid of his porno and drugs,... "anything that would break my mom's heart. Rory then saves the farmer's son from a speeding car. Firemen are using jaws of life to cut off Kat's door. Kat asks the firemen not to do it so loud, the fireman tells her "OK, i'll just put it on quiet mode." Kat replies with "that would be good." The jaws force the airbag to come out, pinning Kat's head against the sharp pole, killing her. The cigarette she was smoking falls in the puddle of gas from the news truck. A tree falls down as Thomas is coming towards Rory. Thomas moves out of the way and lies down. The news truck blows up. A barbed wire cord held by two logs blows away, very gruesomely cutting Rory into several pieces. The farmer lets them take his truck. They leave. Then suddenly Kim starts choking and has a vision of being in the hospital. And a doctor, Dr. Ellen Kalarjian, supposedly choking Isabella. She tells Thomas and Clear what she saw. Then we see Eugene, who is alright until the vents close. A cord connecting to the gas loosens, releasing it everywhere and cutting off Eugene's air supply and the plug is almost disconnected. They arrive. Clear goes to find Eugene and Thomas and Kim go to Isabella.The baby appears to be choking. Thomas and Kim hear the intercom calling Dr. Kalarjian to Isabella's room. They stop Kalarjian and enter the room. Isabella's baby is fine. Eugene's air comes back from the Emergency battery. They are all celebrating, until Kim has another vision. She sees Isabella at the wreck. But not dead. She wasn't supposed to die in the accident. And then she remembers further and sees bloody hands. Clear then rushes towards Eugene's room. The vents are closed, the gas is still in the room. The plug disconnects sparking a fire that blows up the room, killing Clear and Eugene. Kimberly reaches towards Clear's body, which isn't fully burnt. Thomas pulls her away. She then deduces that the visions are about her. She looks at a wall and sees a newspaper clip, entitled "New Life for Drowning Victim." Kim then sees a white van pull up. She understands what she must do and enters the van, driving into the lake. Thomas follows her and tries to get her out. Everything turns dark as Kimberly sees flashbacks of the characters. She then awakens to see the vision she saw earlier, with Dr. Kalarjian tryin to revive her. Thomas is at her side and welcomes her back to life.Thomas and Kim are invited to the Farmer's house, the one farmer who called the ambulance for Eugene. They are eating at a barbecue in the back yard. The son goes to check on the food. The father explains that before Rory died, he pulled the farmer's son out of the way of an oncoming truck. Thomas realizes what will happen, and in the background, we see the barbecue blow up, with the son also. The arm lands in the mom's plate and she screams.

Review:
Well the makers of Final Destination 2 choose to use the basic same formula of the hugely enjoyable first film, only adding more black humour into the crazy death design broth.
Ali Larter returns for a second helping, and she in turn is joined by a bunch of no mark actors waiting for death, which is perfectly fine for the genre discerning fan.This is a riot, and as long as you don't look too deep into it (why would you really?) you may just find yourself having a real good time.
This movie is an honest approach to movie-making, hearkening back to  the day when you got together with friends and said, "Okay, in this  scene we cut to the dummy falling off the building, it's run over by a  Mack truck, and it splatters chunks of blood all over that Oldsmobile  over there."  As for the premise behind FINAL DESTINATION 2, how do I put it into  words?
Original idea, pretty suspenseful directing, and some death scenes that while inventive, were creepy to boot.This time around, with a new director and a new approach, we get a very different film.
The thing is, that doesn't make the movie all that bad - The deaths and the gore are the pay-offs, and great care has been taken to ensure that all of them would get a great reaction from a packed cinema theatre.The car pile up at the start is bone crunchingly violent, with buckets of blood being splattered everywhere - and its very entertaining stuff.
Various methods have been used here for the subsequent death scenes (CG, green screens, puppets, models) but it all cuts together very well, and most of the deaths would have your average cinema audience whooping with crimson tainted delight...The impressive trickery used in killing off each character, intertwining supsense and surprise, is so effective, that many people will come away from this film forgetting that there wasn't actually anything else good about it - apart from the eye candy of course.Worth a watch - you'll recoil in disgust and laugh more than you would watching most movies of this genre.
Final Destination 2 is a very entertaining sequel and while the story is weaker then the first, the deaths are better.
I have to say some of actors are pretty bad but the idea is fun and they always think of new crazy ways to kill people.This movie is about a young girl who has a vision on a highway that ultamitly ends up saving a few peoples lives.
If you loved the original Final Destination, then you will almost certainly enjoy the sequel, a virtual carbon-copy of the first film, except that everything is bigger and much, much bloodier.This time around, a group of travellers narrowly avoid being involved in a spectacular freeway pile-up thanks to an eerie premonition experienced by driver Kimberly Corman (A.J. Cook) as she waits on the on-ramp.
As the survivors of the accident begin to die in the order witnessed in her vision, Kimberley realises what is happening, and tracks down the sole survivor of flight 180, Clear Rivers (Ali Larter), for help.Despite working with material that rarely explores new territory, director David R.
Ellis directs with gusto: his freeway pile-up is an absolutely jaw-dropping piece of cinema—a brutal, bloody and disturbing set-piece—and the subsequent death scenes are masterfully orchestrated pieces of mayhem that tease the audience with several possible bloody conclusions, before delivering their always impressive pay-off (gory fatalities are caused by a falling ladder, a sheet of glass, a faulty elevator, an air-bag, a flying wire fence, and a barbecue!!!).In amongst the graphic bloodletting, Ellis also finds time to throw in some very nice visual touches (such as the tree shadows which resemble clutching skeletal hands) and lots of delightfully dark humour (gotta love that final shot!).
This sequel of successful original by James Wong deals about beautiful girl(A.J.Cook)has a vision of car crash and aware which by avoiding it, she and others(Michael Lastres, Lynda Boyd, James Kirk,Sarah Carter,Jonathan Cherry, Kevin Connor, among them) around her have saved but soon begin dying in bizarre accidents.
Unless you enjoy watching extremely bloody, gory death scenes, you won't like this movie.
The only one I remember with any interest was Odessa Munroe.But the story and the special effects and the gore and, certainly, the suspense, made this film worth watching and peaked my interest in the prequel and the sequel, although not having seen the first one does not take anything away from this one.Check it out..
On par with its predecessor this sequel to the smash horror hit continues a year later with Larter as the sole survivor who aids another group of doomed fate testers when Cook stops their predestined traffic accident (and boy is it a doozy; one for the film vault in its violently affective execution) leading Death to stalk them one by one in a variety of grisly misfortunes along the way.
As good a sequel as the filmmakers could have made, "Final Destination 2" still delivered the goods the original did.Kimberly Corman (A.J. Cook) and her friends go on a road trip, but Kimberly has a vision of a big pile-up involving not only her and her friends, but a lot of other people.
Despite the fact that I knew what was going to happen it was a pretty fun movie, good for a date or any occasion in which you don't feel like devoting full attention to plot twists or witty dialogue..
Basically the movie its plot is just the same as in "Final Destination", only with different characters and settings this time.
I however feel that the Final Destination franchise is one of the few horror-movie franchises that can have multiple sequels, without loosing any of its power or originality.
Basically all that makes this movie good and original are the deaths that are featured in it.
It doesn't really matter that the characters aren't really interesting and the story is quite unlikely and far fetched at certain moments.An highly recommendable horror sequel but perhaps only if you've also seen the first movie.7/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/.
I remember when I saw the first Final Destination movie at the cinema, and I really enjoyed it, it was something fresh new original and exciting, and when I heard that they were making a 2nd one, well at first I was a bit sceptical, but when I saw the trailers, I was excited.Well the plot to this one, not all that different from the previous movie, only instead of an aeroplane, this time we get a traffic accident and the central character Kimberley (AJ Cook) has a vision much like Devon Sawa did in the first one.
Overall this one has a different tone to the first one, this one's more blood and a lot more gore, which is always a bonus in my eyes, another aspect is that the deaths are way over the top, which is awesome and something that was missing from the first movie.The performances again doesn't fail to deliver, with yet again another group of interesting characters, AJ Cook is this time the main character and she hits all the right notes, she's resourceful and likable.
After watching the first film i decided to give this movie a try.Just like the first one this movie wasn't scary, though unlike the first one this movie is actually a really fun gore ride.again the acting wasn't anything amazing, Ali Larter wasn't very convincing, AJ Cook i thought lead the cast better then Devon Sawa in the first, Michael Landes was really monotone, Tony Todd did really good again though, and the rest of the cast i thought were actually more convincing then the leads.It wasn't a blockbuster but it was really fun to watch, and it was pretty gory, which doesn't really add much except for making the death scenes more fun to watch.its a pretty mediocre movie just like the first one but its well worth a watch.and thats why i give FINAL DESTINATION 2 8/10.
Cue comes she freaks out and everyone who cheats death is put on a new list.Ali Larter's character Clear Rivers is revived from the first one and is first found at the Stony Brook institution as the only survivor as Alex from the first dies between films (a brick dislodged itself from a building and hit him in the head) Kimberley asks for Clears help as she is still on death's list.The story is nothing new though there is a connection with the people on the new list to the first one, which I liked.
Ali Larter is the best actress of the film whilst Tony Todd the mortician from the first one reprises his role in one scene which he makes the most of and Kimberly played by A.J Cook isn't bad either.This isn't a patch on the original as it's not really scary but you do feel for the characters still to some extent particularly Clear.
I loved it and I found out that I never got turned off by this detail that the whole story is repeating itself in all 4s.There is something about the idea of this movie that makes it watchable even if it reached the 100th provided that the deaths scenes get more challenging.
(Im convinced im going to die in a car accident anyways, but thats another story) Its just so realistic and you never think of it being like that when you see one on the news.4) This Movie had no mercy!
Though this could have been presented better in the movie (it was kinda cheesy at the time) it worked very well with the plot and tied the new cast with the original story very nicely.
First you think someones done for, they survive, only to die an instant later, completely off guard.This is the most entertaining and intense movie ive seen in a very long time, and with the success of this, Final Destination 3 should be pretty solid, but i dont know, this movie was so good, that it doesnt leave a lot of hope for the 3rd, no chance itll even come close to surpassing this.Best sequel ive seen in years, 10/10.
but I was wrong with thatThis time it's Kim who going trip with her best friends as get to The Freeway she has premonitions of pile-up .Which is one of the most shocking, gruesome, action packed, explosive and edge of your seat., That pile-up scenes is one the best scene EVER made, it was magnificentKim saved from getting killed, Now death is back again to killed them off,the deaths in this movie are so much MORE gory then the one in Final destination, In most horror movies you just get Teenager, (Like Final Destination 3 which was full of teenagers) in this movie they had older cast which think was really good idea but The acting is not great but still good..I give this movie 10/10 pile-up scene just blew me away..
with the big pile up on the motor way and how realistic the vision was ,and with the music it made you think oh whats going to happen here .The weirdest deaths were when the man got the ladder in his eye ,when the women was in the car and got the pole in her head and when the womens head was chopped of by the elevator.It sent a shiver down my spin .but what i also found great was when Eugene wanted to end his life so that he wouldn't die a horrible death,he went to shoot himself but none of the bullet's came out even though the gun was full.it was a fantastic carry on to final destination 1 the graphics of each persons death were brilliant especially when the man is cut up by the fence .and the clues that were shown e.g man with hooks ,birds and also bloody hands were great .altogether the film was just incredible to watch!!!!!!I've watched it that many times the DVD will probably brake loll!!!!!.
IN the most effective moment of campy humor, the end scene, involving a teenager barbequing is top notch over the top horror.A few stellar moments, scenes, and characters prevent the film from being unwatchable, and they may even serve as reason enough to watch the movie as some will definitely enjoy the experience, however, they do not save the movie from it's weaknesses.
Seeing the original movie that started this franchise, "Final Destination" left me wanting more, but it spawned so many sequels it lost its touch and just became feed to the box-office machine.
The sequel to it came quickly after the success of the first one, but I, myself, have not seen it until now and that is a lot of years apart from when I first watched the original."Final Destination 2" continues the supernatural premonition nightmares through the eyes of A.
J. Cook, who witnesses a massive accident on a highway, for which the consequences will lead to a series of unfortunate events.Unlike the first movie, the script for its sequel seemed flawed and did not give the same thrill and exhilaration, this time feeling more like an X-Files episode as its predecessor was meant to be in terms of quality and production values.All in all, for a horror sequel in the 00's, "Final Destination 2" is a decent popcorn film..
While the crash/collision scenes are magnificently intense and very realistic, 'Final Destination 2' does not get off to the strongest start and the first half of the movie feels like more of a remake or rehash of the original, except with even more inventive and elaborate deaths.
This sequel to the mega-hit Final Destination isn't much worse (or better) than the original, but trust me, that is a rare thing to find in any sequel to any popular horror film and it's a great thing here.
Kimberly and the rest of the survivors, must work with Clear to try and stop Death from repeating it's process.I personally had a great time watching 'Final Destination', and was hoping for much of the same experience for its first sequel.
The saga continues with Final Destination 2, where Ali Larter returns as Clear Rivers (how can you take anyone seriously with a name like that?), in a sequel which rehashes the same premise of premonition and therefore death avoidance, and the survivors this time round getting picked off one by one in similar violent fashion fit only for the screens.The one with the powers this time is Kimberly Corman (A.J. Cook), who along with her buddies are going on a road trip.
It is often difficult for a sequel to live up to the original film it follows, and in that "Final Destination 2" is no exception.
That having been said, this film is still a very watchable sequel and bringing back Ali Larter as Clear Rivers, the one survivor of the first film was a definite plus.It is now a year after the crash of flight 180 and death is out hunting again, as the plot unfolds we find that nearly everyone on his list had some tie to one of the dead people in the first film.
Beginning with the mother of all car crashes this isn't so much a sequel to "Final Destination" as a reprise and it's good, grisly fun though this time round the element of surprise is missing.
But Final Destination 2 had a cool story with many more awesome deaths and scary suspenseful scenes.
I loved the story and I understand finally why these movies are so well liked.This time there is a girl, Kimberly, is about to go on a road trip with her friends.
Everyone who was supposed to be killed on that road is dying off one by one, so she looks to the help of a person who has been through this before, Clear.Final Destination 2 was a great sequel and I would highly recommend it for any horror fans.
Now Kimberly has to find a way to stop this before Death kills her.If you haven't noticed, this film has the exact same concept and plot in this movie as its original.
I acting by A.J. Cook is great.Basically, this film puts everything up a notch: The death, the premonition sequence (which has probably the best car accident scenes you'll ever see in your entire life!), the much needed humor, the intelligence, more characters to love, etc.
Deaths are a lot more gory, bloody and...as I already said it: predictable and surreal.About the characters, there's not as much chemistry between each other as there was at the first movie, they have anything to do among each other, is like you don't feel sorry that one character have just died 'cause it wasn't that important.The movie is good enough (for being a sequel) to entertain you, but it's one of those movies that you can only watch for one time 'cause it loses sense once you saw it..
Like the first Final Destination, this movie features a group of seven people who avoid a horrible accident only to later die in very elaborate, far fetched ways.
But it does provide good entertainment, especially if you enjoyed the first and don't my some repetition every once in a while.The story is technically a continuation of the first, but that is almost totally overshadowed by the death scenes and the characters trying to survive...which is just like the first movie.
The clear reason individuals go to see a Final Destination film is obviously the death sequences.
