Pluskylang Great Film overall

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

MartianOctocretr5 Mind numbing foolishness, but entertaining in its own zany way.For some reason in made-for-TV disaster flicks, the lead characters and their families all seem to have personal problems bigger than the natural disaster. Conveniently, during the crisis. Lots of problems. Usually dumb problems. It's not enough to show millions of people getting clobbered by hurricanes and tornadoes. No, families need to be in crisis too for some reason.Many such contrived subplots come your way in Category 6, ranging from infidelity to a pregnant woman being stranded on a stalled elevator. One character does all the following: learns of her dad's infidelity, involves herself with a goony looking boyfriend, is involved in two robberies, is stalked, gets locked in a building during a power outage, is held as a hostage, and even gets shot. Plus, she whines a lot.Schlock stock characters are in abundance: nervy TV news person, evil corporate jerk, crazed tornado chaser (Randy Quaid), etc. Quaid's over acting is a re-do of his ID4 character, only cranked up another ten notches. He yells constantly, gambles his neck for no reason, and generally looks like he could use a lobotomy. Along the way he endangers the lives of some stereotypical foreign tourists. They, like you, are completely confused at what they're seeing.When the film occasionally deals with the crisis, it becomes so weird that it's funny. CGI is a farce: people and objects seem to be two feet off the ground long before the funnel cloud is anywhere near them! Electric short circuit bolts go right through victims and come out the other side. Many things explode for no reason. There were probably more, but by this time I was laughing so hard I didn't notice.It's only fair to note that that the actors appear enthusiastic (not counting the teens) and they make the most of the script. The film ends up being watchable in a detached "ok it's nonsense, but it's fun nonsense" sort of way. I'll give it a 5, just for the laughs.

drystyx Average film. Very routine formula film about a disaster.There a few things going for it, and a few things against it.Against it are the settings. Too many city shots, with buildings, motor vehicles, people in suits and ties, all that which makes for dull spectacle. There are some very trite situations, the young lady not taken seriously by a trite bespectacled wimp, the fascination with computers, the power plays that bore most people, the predictable outcome of the storm chasing moron.For it, while the characters at first begin to sink into stereotypes, each one is brought out with at least one saving grace. Not sure if this saves the film, but it does show some semblance of style and intent to keep it from being too silly. We aren't left with too many predictable and trite results, and it still has entertainment value.

patlightfoot Probably as I was watching it in bed, with a cold, I appreciated it more than most! However, I think various criticisms were warranted, as I was attracted to the TV movie watched from a hire DVD, I could stop it when I wanted.I was attracted to hire it because of Brian Dennehy, and dear old Randy Quaid. Personally I thought that Brian's performance appeared subdued, in my opinion. And he looked old and cynical. And Randy was Randy, and didn't disappoint. I mean the computer systems analyst, well, that was a bit hard to take. "He meant well..?" As entertainment value, I thought it was OK. Plenty of sub plots, and special effects were OK. But it ended without it really explaining to my opinion, certain weather facts, other than electricity is a very important factor in our lives whether breakdowns can become disasters in themselves without the weather adding to it. Little bit of politics there in my opinion influencing the plot as such. What would happen to all the animals for instance, or pets? The birds flying away gave some hint to this side of any tragedy or disaster. What happened to Typhoon Randy Quaid, and his film of it, that he released into the storm? I see he stars again in Category 7, End of The World? No I felt it deserved a better score than it got for just entertainment value alone. But as I said, I could pause it when I felt like it. But if you are searching for reality or credibility in any Sci-Fi or any disaster movie unless it is based or inspired by a true or actual event, then you may always query the credibility in a plot?

marina_rox95 I think "category 6: day of destruction" was very unrealistic. The digital effects where like a children's cartoon. The actors didn't act realistically, for example, when the girl was shot she acted like she got tomato sauce splatted on her. The movie was boring but I watched it because it was on. The only interesting character was Tornado Tommy, he was funny!Please keep the special effects real.I liked the comment: "What did we do to p.i.s.s-off Mother Nature?"I don't know what else to write to fill up the 10 lines. What else can I say the movie is so boring, I think my comment will be equally boring.
