デッドコースター/ファイナル・デスティネーション2 :Final Destination 2 2003-01-31 Roadshow  [R (Restricted)]
『ファイナル・デスティネーション』の続編で、登場人物を新しくして、プロットは前作を踏襲。偶然と幸運が重なり、大事故に巻き込まれる運命を免れた人々が、その後、不可解な死を迎える。ハイウェイを走るトラックに積まれていた丸太が崩れ落ち、後続車やバイクが次々と衝突、炎上。現場に居合わせたキンバリーは、事故直前に自分を含めた7人が死ぬ予知夢を見ていたが、その7人は幸運にも生き残り…。
7人に死の恐怖が迫っていく展開は予想どおりだが、死に方があまりにも衝撃的。その描写は、前作を超える壮絶でグロテスクなものだ。凡庸のホラーと違って、観客をホッとさせた瞬間にショック・シーンが出てきたりするので要注意。監督のデヴィッド・エリスは『マトリックス・リローデッド』のアクション監督も務めているせいか、オープニングのハイウェイでのクラッシュも手に汗握る。ブラックなオチには、思わず苦笑してしまう。（斉藤博昭）

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 | | | | | | | | | Final Destination 2 : 現地ハリウッド市民の評価 : 英語批評版 : Native Evaluation | | | | | Can You Escape Death, Again... / 2005-12-23
After watching "Final Destination" and hearing that New Line Cinema had plans to make a sequel, my first thought was that New Line was making the same old mistake that has plagued many studios. The mistake is making a franchise out of a movie that stands alone perfectly, and does not require any further movies to continue its story. So, needless to say when I saw the previews for "Final Destination 2", I thought it looked pretty much like the first movie, except for a different cast. However, I am happy to say that I was wrong, not only was "Final Destination 2" a good movie, it cleverly built upon what was started in the first film.
"Final Destination 2" focuses on Kimberly (A.J. Cook) who is taking a road trip with a group of friends when suddenly they are involved in a massive car accident on the highway that kills them all, but then Kimberly snaps out of her daydream and discovers they are all still safe and sound. But, just like Alex (Devon Sawa's character in "Final Destination"), Kimberly's dream quickly becomes reality. Since, she saw how the crash developed, Kimberly avoids becoming involved in the accident and saves not only her and her friends, but several other motorists. Though Kimberly is the hero of the hour, she quickly learns that her vision and quick actions come with a burden, she has now thrown a kink into Death's plan, and now Death is coming back for Kimberly and her friends.
As I said before, I didn't believe New Line Cinema had made a smart decision in making this sequel, however, after viewing the movie I realized that sometimes milking a subject matter can turn out alright when the studio is smart enough to keep the quality up to par with that of the original. The cast, comprised of mostly unknowns, still does an excellent job, from the lighter tones of the movie, to the intense action/death scenes, this cast always shines. Two returning cast members from the original also help out the proceedings, Ali Larter as Clear, and Tony Todd as the Mortician, give this sequel ties to its roots, but even if these characters hadn't returned the writers did a terrific job of linking "Final Destination 2" to the original film in a very interesting way, which I will not spoil for you.
Overall, this movie is a little more horror than its predecessor, but still maintains its supernatural elements, and leaves the audience very satisfied.
"Final Destination 2" is rated R for violence, language, and brief nudity. | | | | | | | | | | | |  Death has no Patience Anymore for Nuances / 2005-11-27
This movie is too contrived, the whole movie consisting of build-ups to a predictable climax. The first movie was better because any action taken by Death is portrayed as ambiguous, something that could have been an accident of Nature or a consequence of circumstances. Here in this movie, it is obviously Death out to get his guy or gal with longly drawn-out events happening that could not possibly occur naturally.
Too gruesome and contrived. | | | | | | | | | | | |  Fate returns to kill again. / 2005-11-19
Ari Larter and Tony Todd return for this second "Final Destination" film.
Kimberly (A.J. Cook) and her friends (Sarah Carter, Shaun Sipos, Alex Rae) are on a road trip. Her father (Andrew Airlie) has already warned her that she was leaking tranmission fluid. All the crazies are on the road too. In another car, a boy looks at Kimberly with his toy disel truck and car knocking into each other. A premonition! A policeman's (Michael Landes) coffee spills on his lap. Logs from the back of a truck come loose and plow right through the policeman's windshield. Motorcycle guy hits the road and lands by a log and is killed by his own motorcycle flying towards him. Man on cocaine rolls over in his car and is hit by a disel truck. Kimberly hits a log and rolls over, but survives. The accidents continue.
Suddenly, Kimberly snaps out of her daydream. Or was it a premonition?
Fate returns to kill again even a lottery winner. Everyone on Route 23 around the freak accidents are not safe, including Kimberly who goes to visit Clear Rivers (Ari Larter) in the metal institution.
Just like the first film, FINAL DESTINATION (2000), a series of unexplainable events happen in a domino effect and someone gets killed. Who will die next? Who will be the only one left alive?
Great DVD package. One disc--Full Screen on one side, Wide Screen on the other side. In "options", their is a color bar, brightness and contrast test to help you have the best picture.
"Infinifilm", when turned "ON" the second time you watch the film, you will have the choice to see screen tests, alternate/deleted scenes, CGI Effects and many other goodies.
Turn on "Fast Tracks" during "Infinifilm" for interesting facts and trivia about the film.
FINAL DESTINATION 3 will be released February 10, 2006. | | | | | | | | | | | |  Good gory movie... / 2005-11-14
Well if your looking for a movie with tons of gore and crazy deaths then this is the movie for you. This movie had even better more creative deaths than the original. I found it very entertaining and while very gory, the deaths were cool and I liked this movie. | | | | | | | | | | | | Better Then The First.... / 2005-11-12
Final D 2 was great. A great plot line, a phyico whore, stupid kids, greedy men, everything. I love it. I love everything about it. The movie is about this chick who has a vision that there is going to be a car pileup on the interstate they are driving on. So after she starts all this commotion, it happens. Everyone is in awe and freaked out. So now there is like 10 people who cheated death and now death wants revenge! (Sounds fun huh?). So everyone starts getting killed (by death...?). Its well thoughout. Of course you get the kid who gets stranggled to death but everyone except the one kid from the first one belived it was suicied. Fun.... so people are dying and the figure out that there is a map (i think) and they can stop an unknown killer... ! AHH! Good fun.. This movie in a nutshell was great. Good acting, good plot, good FX, good. Not great.... good. Buy.
