The film takes place 1 year after the events of the first one, as it is the 1 year anniversary of Flight 180. Clear Rivers is the sole survivor of the events of the first one. When she witnesses a premonition of a massive pile-up on an interstate highway, Kimberly Corman manages to get several people off the highway before the collision actually happens. But Death doesn't stop as one by one, the survivors of the crash die from the plan. Kimberly must uncover the plan from Death and stop it with the help of Clear and a police officer.
Like the first, the film has a great premonition sequence. The way that David Ellis (who was also a stuntmaker) constructs the scene to include dummies for bodies is very creative. The film does have a shock value to the deaths (one in particular has to do with an apartment ladder and an man's eyeball), and there is more gore in the film compared to the original. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the kills in the film. I also enjoyed seeing Tony Todd and Ali Larter reprise their roles. I do wish Todd had more screentime, as he was one of the best parts of the film.
I enjoyed the film just as much as the first. For Final Destination fans, this is a worthy sequel!
7.5/10
