Hollywood Reporter Barry Garron
There's little point in critiquing the acting other than to say this isn't a production that will embellish anyone's list of credits. Nearly everyone here is a caricature trying to make the best of a miniseries that is all about the special effects. |

Fans of this telefilm's predecessor... will probably enjoy this upped ante of a sequel, though it once again mixes spectacular effects with childish human melodrama. |

Entertainment Weekly Gillian Flynn
Accidentally ridiculous. [4 Nov 2005, p.69] |

Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman
It has moments of being so-bad-it's-good, which is to say it's at its best when it's a near-satire of the genre. But it drowns in redundant action scenes and sentimentality. |

USA Today Robert Bianco
Even with network movie expectations at an all-time low, you might expect more from November's only broadcast miniseries than an overblown repeat. We've seen enough bad weather and bad movies to last a lifetime; why anyone would want to see the two combine again is beyond me. |

As bad as the original was, the sequel is even worse. |

"Category 7" blows and then some. |

Wall Street Journal Dorothy Rabinowitz
To sit through these four hours is to deserve compensation. |

Newsday Diane Werts
The storms in this production have more personality than the characters who chase, study and prepare for them. |

Washington Post Tom Shales
The miniseries is about as enjoyable as toenail fungus or that sickening commercial for its cure. |

Detroit Free Press Mike Duffy
Here's an early candidate for worst miniseries of the 21st Century. |
