Season Details & Credits

CBS | Season Premiere Date: November 6, 2005

Starring: Nicholas Lea, Tom Skerritt, Shannen Doherty

Summary: 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.

Critic Reviews

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. Read full 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

Gillian Flynn

Accidentally ridiculous. [4 Nov 2005, p.69]

Dorothy Rabinowitz

To sit through these four hours is to deserve compensation. Read full review

As bad as the original was, the sequel is even worse. Read full review

Brian Lowry

"Category 7" blows and then some. Read full review

Tom Shales

The miniseries is about as enjoyable as toenail fungus or that sickening commercial for its cure. Read full review

how could you make fun of this genre, or call it a bad movie. it's like watching a b-rated kung-fu flick-- you know it's going to be rediculous, but it's entertaining as hell. what a coincidence that it was produced before katrina and aired the same night as one of the most how could you make fun of this genre, or call it a bad movie. it's like watching a b-rated kung-fu flick-- you know it's going to be rediculous, but it's entertaining as hell. what a coincidence that it was produced before katrina and aired the same night as one of the most disasterous tornadoes to hit the states in the last decade.… Expand

To call the acting in this movie "belabored" is a compliment. A for the stars, Gershon is on the edge of losing control from her appointment to head FEMA throughout the first episode; the air of desperation is unrelenting and she is not skilled enough to prevent its becoming tiresome. To call the acting in this movie "belabored" is a compliment. A for the stars, Gershon is on the edge of losing control from her appointment to head FEMA throughout the first episode; the air of desperation is unrelenting and she is not skilled enough to prevent its becoming tiresome. Cameron Daddo, Gershon's co-star, is equally unappealing as a maverick weather guru whose family portrait should appeear in the dictionary next to "dysfuntional." The rest of the cast comes off as slightly bored, with the exception of the ever-bombastic Randy Quaid, who spends the movie dashing around America sniffffing out bad weather. The story line is a mishmash of every bad disaster, hostage, and political intrigue film ever to air on TV. Save yourself the pain; watch CSI reruns!… Expand

This is the most overhyped disaster drama I have ever seen . This Story could have been edited to a half hour and it still would be a stinker. The special effects, realism and story line must have been put togetherby a committee of drunks. Horrible drama
