I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Masterful Movie

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This made-for-television science fiction action disaster miniseries was aired over two weeks in November of 2005. The unrated film documents the exploits of various people living in Washington, D.C. before,and during a category 7 hurricane hits the area. The film is a sequel to the television miniseries Category 6: Day of Destruction, which aired a year earlier, and, like that film, stars an ensemble cast including Cameron Daddo as an infamous author, Suki Kaiser as his wife, Gina Gershon as the new director of FEMA, Shannen Doherty, and Randy Quaid as a couple of paired storm chasers, Robert Wagner as Gershon's senator father, Adam Rodriguez as a USAF pilot, Sebastian Spence as an FPS agent, John Kapelos as the secretary of Homeland Security, James Kirk as Gershon's teenage son, Rachel Skarsten as Daddo's daughter, and Kirk's girlfriend, Peter Mooney as Kirk, and Skarsten's cocky rival, Noam Jenkins as the White House Press Secretary, Tom Skerritt as a Colonel, Kenneth Welsh as the Chief of Staff, Andrea Lui, and David Alpay as a couple of scientists, James Brolin, and Swoosie Kurtz as a couple of Christian fundamentalists, and Nicholas Lea, and Lindy Booth as a couple of their followers. The film starts off with a cold open set in an amusement park just as a hurricane hits it. The next hour, and fifteen minutes of the film is devoted to character introductions, and plot development. However, so many characters are introduced throughout this first hour, it's impossible to follow any of the story lines. Speaking of story lines, things finally become interesting in the second half when the titular storm hits. However, instead of focusing on the characters attempting to survive the storm, most of the second half is devoted to a ridiculous subplot involving Lea kidnapping Kirk, Skarsten, Mooney, and a group of other teenagers for reasons never fully explained. Speaking of ridiculous subplots, Brolin, and Kurtz play two Christian fundamentalists who are constantly luring in new convents, and become very annoying characters as a result, especially Brolin. Besides that, the movie also suffers due to the camera style. Random flashes of wide shots, and then a second later back to a closeup makes it very hard to follow what's going on. I honestly believe this might be the worse camera technique in a movie I've ever seen, excluding found footage movies. But despite all these faults, underneath is a strong, and dramatic story. Of course, if you're a disaster movie buff looking for some great action, you probably won't find a lot here, and I recommend watching Twister instead. Overall, the film isn't that bad, and is actually rather decent. I thought it was a pretty good movie. 6/10.

But that isn't saying much. Please see my review for "Category 6" for further comments.I half expected to see Randy Quaid's character come back to life, due to plot predictability. But I did NOT see it coming when he and Shannen Doherty's character kissed. BIG yuck factor!The Lindy Booth character was poorly scripted and acted as the cheesy journalist assigned to write obits then uncovers the end-of-days plot at a mega church.Good to see Tom Skerritt back on the screen, even if it was a campy redo of his "Top Gun" character.I've not seen Category 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. But based on the amount of re-edited scenes and various cameos, I suspect the makers of these movies were trying to accomplish what their message was: save energy by recycling. They certainly recycled enough scenes and actors in parts 6 & 7!Oy!

Well, this movie started exactly where category six left off as we all know. I do think that category 6 had a more enjoyable story, but thats not what people watch these movies for, unless they really don't know a thing when it comes to these kind of movies. These movies are meant for pure, twisted entertainment, and i think Category 7 gives it all to u. I think about every person has fealt like they had to watch a "disaster" movie for a weird reason. People are just drawn to them.The fact is...don't look into his for an award winning drama. Cause your not gonna get one. This is A special FX extravaganza. or watever. I have to say with the 15 million dollar, they exceeded ALL my expectations. Better FX than much of the movies I've seen on the big screen. So, be a little better judge for this movie. 1 star is not the type to give to a disaster movie, and then go around and talk about how lame the script was, cause you should know what ur up for. I personally thought it was good, thats just me. The people behind the scenes, the ones that worked for days on end, deserve all the praise. The Emmy nominated sound crew, and the well deserved people behind the special FX did unbelievably good. I say give this movie a chance if your up for seeing the eiffel tower fall and much much more.

This was the perfect DVD to watch on a Friday night after everybody else had gone to bed. Since I watched with headphones I got to really enjoy the sound effects.No, this was not LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT. If I'd wanted a serious drama I know just where to find them at the video store.The movie had Brilliant Scientists, Brave Pilots, Adorable Children, Amoral Politicians, Greedy Televangelists, Fearless Hurricane Chasers, Killer Frogs, Evil Kidnappers, and one Senator Who Places the Public Good above Personal Safety. Wow. And the character you'd most like to see fried by lightning in front of a large crowd does get fried by lightning in front of a large crowd.The characters you expect to live do live, the characters you expect to see die do die. And three nasty characters who richly deserve this ignoble fate are last see being sucked through the roof or doorway, their arms and legs waving wildly.Paris is destroyed (heck, we're had at France anyway). Mount Rushmore is doomed. Not only is the Statue of Liberty destroyed: it's destroyed twice. At the beginning of the New York sequence we see news footage of tsunami waves smashing Lady Liberty, then just before the end of the New York scenes it's destroyed again and this time part of the statue flies inland and narrowly misses two characters. Oddly enough, the 'science' in this science-fiction scenario seems plausible to this old cowboy. Rising heat from cars and the generating of electricity in cities (or, I guess, reflected off the roofs of mobile homes or sands of the Egyptian desert) add extra power to these super storms. The idea that cutting the electric power to Washington D.C. can completely stop a storm in its tracks seems odd, but this isn't real life.This is a world where two sympathetic characters can see a full size mobile home lifted off the ground and fly toward the air toward them and survive because they're standing behind a light pole. You don't have to read that sentence again. It's just what it says. And a pilot flies from San Antonio to Washington D.C. in what I figure to be about twenty minutes.Remember the old Flash Gordon serials. Flash and Dale would be trapped in the pathway of a lava flow and then To Be Continued would flash on the screen. The next week would start with the narrative "After escaping from the lava flow, Flash and Dale continued their pursuit of Ming the Merciless," and the story would go on.Power poles completely deflect the impact of full size mobile homes. People walk, run, drive cars and hold conversations in a 200 mile per hour wind. This only proves my theory that movies are way better than real life.The special effects are pretty decent. This wasn't one of those $200 million projects. No shot is held long enough for us to see the seams in the special effects. The scene in Paris is especially well done, concentrating most of the action around the brilliant colors of a carnival at night. The flooding of New York is surprisingly convincing. There's one scene of a reporter standing in front of a destroyed building that doesn't look all that great- just shows you that holding a shot for too long lets people see too much.In the early part of the 20th century a lovely lady named Sally Rand was a sensation dancing nude carrying huge fans. She'd move them so quickly that nobody ever saw more than decency would allow. Her motto was The Hand Is Quicker than the Eye. That's what editing is about in modestly budgeted sci-fi movies.And there are three bonuses here.First, and most important, it's good to see key roles played by older actors. Randy Quaid is well into his fifties, and Tom Skerrit and Robert Wagner are both in their seventies (although I think that Wagner has had lots of work done- Lord knows what he looks like at seven in the morning).Second, the story deals with some nice themes about the relationships between adult children and their parents.Best of all, the central character is the gorgeous and brilliant Director of FEMA, played by by Gina Gershon who survived playing the evil Crystal in SHOWGIRLS so nothing can daunt her. The idea of a smart person heading up FEMA is more science fiction than any other story element at play here.The movie lost two points because it's about an hour too long. The footage with the kidnapped children being chased after escaping their kidnappers runs way too long, as does a scene with a homicidal follower of the evangelists.Good popcorn movie. I can't wait for the sequel to come out on DVD>
