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

The opening premonition is a series best and the deaths are killer (he he), but the expedited runtime means that the characters are shallow, their relationship to each other under developed, and many of them just kinda suck.

Rated: 2.5/5

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

After a rewatch, I think it is much better than I remembered. It is well connected to the first movie and gives us more rules. This sequel is also such a fun movie with many creative and more brutal deaths than the first one. It's not perfect but almost at the level of the first.
