The Hollywood ReporterBarry Garron
Season 1 Review: 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. Read full review

Chicago Tribune
Season 1 Review: 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. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Accidentally ridiculous. [4 Nov 2005, p.69]

Chicago Sun-TimesDoug Elfman
Season 1 Review: 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. Read full review

USA TodayRobert Bianco
Season 1 Review: 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. Read full review

Season 1 Review: To sit through these four hours is to deserve compensation. Read full review

NewsdayDiane Werts
Season 1 Review: The storms in this production have more personality than the characters who chase, study and prepare for them. Read full review

Detroit Free PressMike Duffy
Season 1 Review: Here's an early candidate for worst miniseries of the 21st Century. Read full review

Washington PostTom Shales
Season 1 Review: The miniseries is about as enjoyable as toenail fungus or that sickening commercial for its cure. Read full review
