Kimberly (A.J. Cook) has a premonition of a horrible highway accident killing multiple people -- including her and her friends. She blocks the cars behind her on the ramp from joining traffic -- and as a police trooper (Michael Landes) arrives, the accident actually happens. Now, Death is stalking this group of mistaken survivors -- and one by one they are dying as they were supposed to on the highway.

Critics Consensus

Final Destination 2 is little more than an excuse to stage elaborate, gory scenes of characters getting killed off.

Gruesome, ridiculous, really bad waste of time.

Pushing the limits of an R rating, this sequel to 2000's surprise hit starts with the blood dripping madly and then amps it up to levels as to now unseen in American horror.

Rated: 1.5/4

Orion's Shoulder (Substack)

It is magnificent, abiding by the more-is-more rule of follow-ups. It also hoodwinks us into a false sense of security that death can be cheated via the self-checked-in padded cellmate of Ali Larter’s returning Clear Rivers

This feels like a really bad made for TV movie with great kills. I’m happy some of the other sequels are stronger so we get rewarded for sticking it out.

Rated: 2.5/5

There is no denying Final Destination 2 is a better film that its predecessor. It is better shot and paced, and smartly delivers exactly what its target market wants.

Rated: 7/10

Though the middle act descends into a bit of a mess, Final Destination 2 still delivers the franchise’s signature blend of suspenseful, unpredictable deaths and that disturbingly infectious sense of everyday dread.

по уровни крови фильм находится наравне с предыдущей частью. здесь все смерти выполнены достаточно качественно и доставляют интерес. но создатели фильмы зачем-то решили, что могут победить смерть и начали сильно путать зрителей не всегда понятными выводами

I think it was better than the first movie, even with the premise already revealed at the start. It has the most famous scene in the series. Still not great, but it was an enjoyable and gruesome horror show.

I think this installment improved on some aspects of the previous film. The scene with the falling logs, alongside the explosion, is a clear example of the cinematic language typical of horror films.

The one with the logs on the motorway. Enjoyable.

I thought it was better than the original. For me, this movie is more of a DLC for the first movie, with the characters already knowing how to deal with the curses. I thought it was good, watch it if you have time, but it's not a SUPER incredible movie.
