Death, uh, finds a way… Why couldn’t they get Jeff Goldblum to be in these movies? Then at least there would be one thing worth watching.

A year after the events of the first movie, a girl named Kimberly has a premonition about a bad highway accident and manages to escape the mayhem unharmed along with a bunch of motorists who never made it onto the highway.

With the help of a police deputy who was also spared from the accident, Kimberly discovers connections to the people who cheated death on Flight 180 before perishing in horrible freak accidents. They enlist the help of Ali Larter’s character from the first movie and things get really ridiculous when the characters “figure everything out” and “connect all the dots” about how death is stalking them and who is going to die next.

I found this movie to be incredibly boring with a hair-brained premise that only gets worse as it tries to explain the absurdities away. It’s like when you lie and then you have to keep adding lies to sell the original lie and it compounds and grows and eventually the lying fatigue sets in. Yeah, it’s exactly like that.
