ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

brookswieszczek This made-for-television science fiction action disaster miniseries was aired over two weeks in November of 2005. The unrated film documents the exploits of various people living in Washington, D.C. before,and during a category 7 hurricane hits the area. The film is a sequel to the television miniseries Category 6: Day of Destruction, which aired a year earlier, and, like that film, stars an ensemble cast including Cameron Daddo as an infamous author, Suki Kaiser as his wife, Gina Gershon as the new director of FEMA, Shannen Doherty, and Randy Quaid as a couple of paired storm chasers, Robert Wagner as Gershon's senator father, Adam Rodriguez as a USAF pilot, Sebastian Spence as an FPS agent, John Kapelos as the secretary of Homeland Security, James Kirk as Gershon's teenage son, Rachel Skarsten as Daddo's daughter, and Kirk's girlfriend, Peter Mooney as Kirk, and Skarsten's cocky rival, Noam Jenkins as the White House Press Secretary, Tom Skerritt as a Colonel, Kenneth Welsh as the Chief of Staff, Andrea Lui, and David Alpay as a couple of scientists, James Brolin, and Swoosie Kurtz as a couple of Christian fundamentalists, and Nicholas Lea, and Lindy Booth as a couple of their followers. The film starts off with a cold open set in an amusement park just as a hurricane hits it. The next hour, and fifteen minutes of the film is devoted to character introductions, and plot development. However, so many characters are introduced throughout this first hour, it's impossible to follow any of the story lines. Speaking of story lines, things finally become interesting in the second half when the titular storm hits. However, instead of focusing on the characters attempting to survive the storm, most of the second half is devoted to a ridiculous subplot involving Lea kidnapping Kirk, Skarsten, Mooney, and a group of other teenagers for reasons never fully explained. Speaking of ridiculous subplots, Brolin, and Kurtz play two Christian fundamentalists who are constantly luring in new convents, and become very annoying characters as a result, especially Brolin. Besides that, the movie also suffers due to the camera style. Random flashes of wide shots, and then a second later back to a closeup makes it very hard to follow what's going on. I honestly believe this might be the worse camera technique in a movie I've ever seen, excluding found footage movies. But despite all these faults, underneath is a strong, and dramatic story. Of course, if you're a disaster movie buff looking for some great action, you probably won't find a lot here, and I recommend watching Twister instead. Overall, the film isn't that bad, and is actually rather decent. I thought it was a pretty good movie. 6/10.

RedJeepCwby 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.

rp-mccann This movie has it all! Drama, Excitement, Romance, Suspense, Heartache, Patriotism, & not to forget Bra Straps! I hate to be negative, especially about any film involving the actors of the high quality that were involved in this production. However they have all fallen in the amount of respect I have at the moment.I realize that money is always an issue, and is needed. For some of these folks, I have no doubt hunger (for work!) does guide one to wards decisions that we may later regret.While I would very much prefer to watch this movie again, as opposed to having the stomach flu, it is a close call. The Patriotism that was intended to be instilled failed miserably due to my own personal recent involvement with FEMA, what a !&*? Joke! I remember when the original Poseidon Adventure came out, what was that 30 years ago? Then all those disaster movies that followed? This could fit in there, barely, but it could.Again I am not one to be negative, but safe yourself the trouble, don't waste your time on this movie. It is not the fault of any of the people lending their talents, the writers, or the production staff, they should ll be ashamed of themselves though, and NEVER work for the people responsible for tarnishing their reputation's.But the fault lays fully of the shoulders of whomever was responsible for the funding. Just a money laundering operation........Maybe some food poisoning would make me feel better

fromwalking This film is not as bad as everyone says if you empty your mind first. OK, the special effects are terrible, but that's the result of low funding I guess. But if you look at it in an artistic point of view like you should with every motion picture, it's not a bad movie. The makers, writers, actors and everybody else who worked on this film worked hard and believed in it! So in that angle, even if there were a few flaws in the scientific details and perhaps critics on other levels where viewers themselves exceed in? I have no knowledge of weather forecast or tornado's or any of that. I'm an economic by education. But like I said, if you rest your mind and view this for recreational purpose (as you always should) it's OK, I even thought the story was plausible, about the heat of the cities and so on (I don't want to write a spoiler). And I liked Randy Quaid in here! He's always funny! And as a surprise to me (I didn't study the cover closely when I rented it) there was Shannen Doherty. Good looking' and I think she is a good actress!Just watch this on a rainy hang-over Sunday and free your mind.Oh yeah, I rated this film a 10 to pump up the average. My personal vote would be 7.
