DVD Review: Shock, Gore and Suspense Are What This Movie is All About! Summary: 4 StarsAfter Kimberly Corman (A.J. Cook) has a premonition about a massive series of car accidents on the highway she and her friends are on, she pulls her car over. A cop, Thomas Burke (Michael Landes), comes up to her and asks why she's blocking traffic. She says there's going to be a huge accident and, sure enough, events begin to unfold on Highway 180 . . . but without them unlike in her vision. The cop goes to alert other emergency personnel. An oncoming truck heads right for Kim's car. Kim escapes but her friends are killed. Yet others--who had died in the multiple wrecks in Kim's vision--also survive.
Soon, the survivors are all together. Except one by one Death comes for them, making things as they should be, restoring order and bringing his agenda of who dies and when back under his control.
To try and stop the cycle before it's too late, Kim seeks out a survivor from the first movie--Clear Rivers (Ali Larter)--and Clear takes command, explaining why people are dying and how to save themselves.
If they believe her.
Shock, gore and suspense are what this movie is all about.
I got to tell you, this movie had me biting my nails all the way through. After the *ahem* blood settled and we knew who the major players were, I was gripping my seat because very quickly they slowly began to die. And not just, oh, they die slowly--but in that step-by-step, cause-and-effect way that is the Final Destination franchise's hallmark. These movies are very much about the Butterfly Effect, and the way the tension is created as you wait for someone to be a goner is pure gold.
I loved the creative ways folks died in the movie. No clear-cut, bang-you're-dead stuff here. Just pure strange ways of checking out. The most creative, I thought, was when that kid got squished by a falling sheet of glass. Didn't see that coming, and the way he folded in half is burned in my memory. Likewise when the barb-wired fence dices Rory (Jonathan Cherry) into pieces. Who comes up with this stuff?
The only thing that got under my skin was Clear's constantly talking about "Death's design." Okay. We get it. He has a design. Move on. I don't need to hear you using that phrase a thousand times in the movie.
This flick has a permanent place in my DVD collection.
Recommended.

DVD Review: Hopeless Bluray Summary: 2 StarsI got this BD yesterday & was expecting a better version than the DVD but unfortunately its the worst bluray Ive got
Firstly there is no startup menu no subtitles pop up menu has just one option of sound no scene selection ( if you have to watch a particular chapter you have to start from begining & manually go to the particular chapter which is frustating after paying almost 35$.) The picture & sound quality are pretty good but the DVD version has much more options than this Bluray. DO NOT BUY THIS BD & GET FOOLED.
DVD Review: good Summary: 4 StarsI think the only problem I have with Final Destination 2 is that the pacing of the storyline isn't as good as in the original. I mean, all the scenes that are supposed to build to a dramatic tragic death because it's that persons time to leave this world according to death... these particular moments always felt rushed to me with not much of an interesting build up getting to them. It's like the writers didn't feel like building to the suspenseful moments this time around. Much lazier writing compared to the first Final Destination.
Besides that, the graphic visuals of the deaths themselves are probably better than in the first one because they look so dang cool and violent, and the movie as a whole is right in between the first and third Final Destination movies as far as enjoyment is concerned. The original will always be the best one because it had great atmosphere and a somewhat original storyline.
Still, thinking aboug death and the big questions in life such as whether you are supposed to die at a certain time during your life will probably enter your mind as you watch Final Destination 2 and think about your own future. I guess this is such a huge and mysterious question we can't help but wonder the answer to it.
DVD Review: soup1978@yahoo.com Summary: 5 Starsto me, this was the best movie out of all the series. this is a jaw dropping,eyes shuting,crazy,bug out movie. if you like crazy,suspense movies this movie is for you.

Final Destination 2 begins with a well-orchestrated multicar pileup on a freeway--a horrifying accident that turns out to be a premonition, as seen by a young woman (A.J. Cook) who saves herself and several other people by blocking a freeway on-ramp. Thus, as in the first Final Destination, a prescient vision disrupts the destined plans of death, and death goes to extreme lengths to correct matters. What makes Final Destination 2 entertaining is that the characters can only survive by learning to recognize the signs of impending doom--and the signs are basically the cinematic foreshadowing that moviemakers use to invoke suspense. This, combined with some elaborately complicated and gruesome deaths, fosters a ghoulish humor that's more entertaining than the smirky self-referentiality of Scream. Final Destination 2 doesn't aspire to be a great movie, but trash has its pleasures. Also featuring Ali Larter as the only survivor of the first movie. --Bret Fetzer
