Seven people including Alex, are forced to disembark. Moments later in the departure lounge the students see the plane explode before their very eyes.

But now, each one of his friends is being stalked and killed by the Grim Reaper, Death, who is intent on collecting the souls of this who cheated it.
The Film
Surpriginly entertaining. I'm not normally one for teen-slasher (or horror of any kind), but these hold some strange appeal to me. I think it's the plot: there actually is one, unlike most horror films. The idea of us following a set path is intriguing. The cast is nice, dialogue done fairly well overall, but some very cheesy lines let it down a little. As do the few gaps in the story, but otherwise a very entertaining flick.
The DVD
One of the better single-disc DVDs out there. Some informative documentaries, and some strange games: death clock being one, useless waste of disc space.

Final Destination 2For every beginning there is an end... Final Destination 2, the sequel to the hit 2000 supernatural thriller, finds Clear Rivers the only survivor of the crash of Flight 180 alive. Locked away by her own choice in the perceived safety of a psychiatric hospital, Clear now lives in constant terror that Death is coming to claim her, as it did all her friends. Clear may be considered crazy, but she's not wrong. Death is moving toward suburbia... The Film
This is taken must less seriously than the original, and it shows. They just appear to have more fun, focusing less on plot: the main plot line is while travelling in a car journey that lasts about 3 minutes. But somehow they manage a successful story, despite trying to find as many gruesome deaths as possible. The first's flaw was probably that it took itself as more than entertainent, although Final Destination 2 seems a little hashed together. The first of the road wrecks of 2003 (followed by The Matrix Reloaded, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and Bad Boys II), this gives the biggest surprise, along with great eye-candy. Speaking of eyes....
The first time I saw it I didn't really like it, but it has grown on me, and got better each time, although I loved the pile-up from the start
Film: 7/10
The DVD
Again, one of the better single-disc DVDs. Similar but different type documentaries are interesting, and strange at the same time - mainly the one focusing on people's reactions to certain moments.
