Truly Dreadful Film
Excellent, a Must See
Beautiful, moving film.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
View MoreThey covered everything... Badly. From special effects to facts. I kept watching because it was so bad. There's something to be said for bad, but not enough to make me want to watch part 2. I probably will though, just to see if it is as bad. Everybody was over the top. Actors that I usually like count on for good performances were terrible in this. Had any of the writers ever actually observe a real relationship between real people? I had a little trouble understanding how people in a city that was totally blacked out were able to watch news updates. Big business is bad. Government is good. The only people you can count on for honesty is the media. Throw everything you can think of at a camera and you've got yourself a movie. I think that must have been the philosophy behind this one.
View MoreI will never again watch this thing. Currently it is on the SyFy channel with an hour left to go and I'm still trying to figure out how this thing even made t on air. Two storms are converging...big whoop Twister already did that and THAT movie was a heck of a lot better than this insanity. Who in the world says "Shot...with a gun!" What else would she be shot with? A pencil? And what in the world was little Miss Reporter thinking when she had to take the stairs up to her sister-in-law's apartment? Didn't they think a NORMAL person might think someone could be stuck in the elevator since the power was down? I'm not even going to comment on Diane West's character because I can't even think straight enough to make a comment.
View MoreAnyone who complains about Peter Jackson making movies too long should sit through this CBS "event". There's about 45 minutes of story padded by 2 hours of unnecessary subplots, featuring bland by-the-book TV drama clichés. Bad science is a staple for crappy weather disaster movies, so I'm not going to complain about that. Silly science can be fun to watch if it's executed in an amusing fashion. What kills this movie is it's 10 subplots... all of which could be excised without destroying what is supposed to be the central plot. The one character that is entertaining to watch in Category 6 is Tornado Tommy, despite being a very annoying stereotype.Note that I also didn't bother commenting on special effects. Their quality should come as no surprise.Not recommended.
View MoreCategory 6:day of destruction is a very well done"made for TV movie".i won't go too much into the plot,but basically,the climate suddenly changes in the extreme,creating all kinds of weather related disasters,on top of a man made disaster, all occurring at basically the same time in parts of the U.S and Canada.the movie is quite exciting to watch at times,but also has some good dramatic scenes and can be quite engaging.the acting is very good and the specials effects are quite well done ,given the scope of the movie and the budget the filmmakers had.there are a few weak spots in the movie,but very few and the story more than compensates.the plot itself is in the range of being ludicrous and the science behind it all is likely flawed,but who cares.it's no more ridiculous than some of the pap the big Hollywood studios churn out.if you view this movie for what it is, in the proper context,you will enjoy it.it is thrilling and suspenseful and dramatic when need be.and that's more than enough in this case.By the way, this production was at least partly made by Hallmark Entertainment.
