You can show me behind the scenes footage, budget breakdowns of every stage of production, hard copies of contracts from the studio proving they produced this movie, and hours of firsthand accounts from all the people who made this. Yet, you still wouldn't be able to fully convince me that The Final Destination is actually part of the franchise and not a cheaply made knock off from The Asylum. Jesus, this was a slog to get through. The 3D gimmick is lame but even worse is the CG.

Like the original, I have a bit of a soft spot for Final Destination 2. The accident scene is great and has rightfully become fodder for memes all around social media these days. What works best for me in this movie is the way it ties everything together with the first movie's plot. It's not done all that cleanly and really feels a little half-hearted in the sense of follow through. But I appreciate the ties it made to the original.

★½ Some of the most egregious 3D shots ever put to film. And some of the most forgettable characters too!

1. IntroductionMany disagreements between religious and non-religious people appear to be about facts. They disagree about what exists, what is true, and what evidence is available. Many religious people insist that their beliefs are based on evidence and that they would stop believing if that evidence was dismissed. Many refer to miracles as factual events that not only provide evidence of the truth of a religious belief but have the power to change a person’s life towards religion.
