Summary
Starring Randy Quaid, Gina Gershon, Shannen Doherty, Tom Skerritt, Robert Wagner, Swoosie Kurtz, James Brolin, and Adam Rodriguez
This killer-storm disaster sequel to "Category 6: Day of Destruction" runs the risk of being insensitive (with footage of real-life killer storms and their aftermath still being shown daily on the news), but perhaps manages to avoid that label by being completely preposterous.

Hollywood ReporterBarry 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.

Accidentally ridiculous. [4 Nov 2005, p.69]
Chicago Sun-TimesDoug 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.

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.
Read Full Review >Wall Street JournalDorothy Rabinowitz
To sit through these four hours is to deserve compensation.
Read Full Review >NewsdayDiane Werts
The storms in this production have more personality than the characters who chase, study and prepare for them.
Read Full Review >Washington PostTom Shales
The miniseries is about as enjoyable as toenail fungus or that sickening commercial for its cure.
Read Full Review >Detroit Free PressMike Duffy
Here's an early candidate for worst miniseries of the 21st Century.

Little far fetch, but it makes you wonder - ?Could it Happen - sure, why not?

I was hoping that the world WOULD end while watching this crap.

That was the most disappointing show ever. And since when did the Fema director have a hand in doing scientific things to stop a disaster from happening. We all know in real life they would have showed up a couple of days after the disater happened. Atleast it could have been realistic.

This movie was FUNNY! Loved how the head of FEMA ran around dressed like some eighth-grade twit girl -- surprised her boobs didn't flop out. Kept expecting her to do a lap dance with whatever the hell his name is, that tortured meteorologist wuss. Shannon Doherty is NOT aging well -- she could be the main event on Fright Night. Or maybe it's her inner self shining through ala Dorian Gray? At least Quaid knew he was in a farce and played it that way. This movie would've been a whole lotta fun if they'd all played it that way. The sign of a really bad actor is trying to act when the material isn't worth it. Didn't ya just love how they just turned off the storm? At least the message was anti-Bush -- IF anyone stayed around long enough to figure it out. Heh.
