Category 7: The End of the World is almost like its prequel, a made for TV disaster movie miniseries that is heavy on drama. While this film has less subplots than the last one, the drama this go around is significantly more heavy. What is a big improvement is there's more of the disaster element to go around which is a major improvement, plus Randy Quaid is back as Tornado Tommy, it turns out he survived being thrown by the tornado which was a major surprise.Despite the improvement previously stated, the film stumbles due to the subplots and heavy drama which includes a pastor riding off of the fear of the public due to the storms to promote his ministry, personal relationships, and a major kidnapping of teenagers in Washington D.C.In the end this sequel is basically an unnecessary complexity of subplots and drama with more disaster.

Well, lets's see: The acting is bad, the dialogs are worse, the special effects are disappointing, the plot is ridiculous, the science is flawed, the camera work is amateuristic, the cast is a let-down, the characters unlikeable, the finale underwhelming and the ending your typical American sentimental feel-good-moment.Except it didn't feel good. What a bunch of nonsense. Even though disaster movies aren't usually very good, so much more could have been done with this premise. Unfortunately, you only want to be watching is if you're stuck in bomb shelter and it's the only DVD you can play there.This really isn't worth your time, unless you're really into the disaster-movie genre.

I'll try and keep this short. The acting is really bad and the script is weak. I'm surprised that the celebrities they had playing the lead roles in this film actually agreed to do it; knowing that upon it's release it would be almost certain "career suicide" for them. It's almost like a group of nerdy high school students shot the whole film in a weekend and made the script up as they went a long. Unbelievable story lines, shallow and predictable characters, weak script, cheesy special effects, and the entire film appears to have been shot with a Sony Handicam with a cheap pair of sunglasses placed over the lens to give contrast in light levels. Watching this motion picture was like watching a train wreck. I really feel embarrassed for anyone who had a hand in its creation and distribution. My idea of hell would be the Devil forced us to watch this movie over and over again. I gave it a 1 only because negative numbers aren't possible.

this movie is the sequel to Category 6:Day of Destruction.like category 6,this one deals with a series of catastrophic storm systems, many converging together at one time,creating a series of super storms around the globe.however,this time an unprecedented category 7 is imminent over Washington,D.C which will leave the city in ruins,killing thousands of people.the government and the disaster agencies must find a way to avert disaster.there is also another,non weather related element to deal with,which adds another dimension.will disaster be averted?you will have to watch the movie to find out.there is obviously a ton of action,as in the original.the cgi is quite good for a made for TV movie.the acting however,did not seem as convincing this time around.There are a few strictly minor league (b movie or lower quality)actors/actresses in this movie.also,this movie is much more preachy than the first.at times, it is almost a sermon on pollution and global warming.that put me off a fair bit.the movie is much faster paced than Category 6,so it does movie quicker.the big problem however,is,how do you make the movie more intense than the last one?i don't think you can.the movie is certainly louder,but visually,it had been already been done In the original.and although the movie had some tense moments,i wouldn't call it thrilling,and it wasn't really a fun experience.overall, i'd have to give this movie 6/10
