Three tornadoes converge to wreak havoc on Chicago, disrupting the power grid and creating the worst super-storm in history: a category 6 twister.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Sort of like a train wreck, I had to watch this and part seven. Very goofy, but had some interesting yet predictable plot lines.The whole message of this series (at least the two parts I watched) seemed to be that we humans are bad, bad creatures. According to what I gleaned from these two parts: We and we alone caused global warming, should recycle more, should stop driving and should stop using so much energy. And of course, all energy companies are evil.A very preachy series! Oy!Some of the plots were predicable. Like Chandra West and Thomas Gibson in their obvious extra-marital affair, crisis with family, resolve issues during weather disaster.Randy Quaid was a hoot as he more or less did a reprise of his "Independence Day" role as a whacked-out misfit.A lot of the special effects were repeated in both 6 & 7 (like a skyline view of Chicago then a skyline of Washington, D.C., with the same carnage in the foreground - or a repeat shot of a power plant, one in Chicago, one in D.C.).I had to suspend disbelief as the time-line of many of these events and scenes defied logic. Overall – poorly written storyline with average acting and quirky special effects.

Category 6:day of destruction is a very well done"made for TV movie".i won't go too much into the plot,but basically,the climate suddenly changes in the extreme,creating all kinds of weather related disasters,on top of a man made disaster, all occurring at basically the same time in parts of the U.S and Canada.the movie is quite exciting to watch at times,but also has some good dramatic scenes and can be quite engaging.the acting is very good and the specials effects are quite well done ,given the scope of the movie and the budget the filmmakers had.there are a few weak spots in the movie,but very few and the story more than compensates.the plot itself is in the range of being ludicrous and the science behind it all is likely flawed,but who cares.it's no more ridiculous than some of the pap the big Hollywood studios churn out.if you view this movie for what it is, in the proper context,you will enjoy it.it is thrilling and suspenseful and dramatic when need be.and that's more than enough in this case.By the way, this production was at least partly made by Hallmark Entertainment.

This is semi enjoyable as a piece of cheese, but that's about it.Honestly, the dialogue and most of the acting is downright laughable. Not to mention the obvious green screens.Thomas Gibson doesn't even attempt to sell any sort of performance whatsoever despite being the lead. The only ones who don't completely embarrass themselves in the acting department are McKeon, Dennehy, Quaid, Wiest and a few of the supporting players (the pregnant sister in law wasn't bad). Their dialogue might have been as dumb as the rest, but at least put in some sort of effort to try and rise above it.The first half was also just sort of boring. At least in the second half I was entertained by seeing how many secondary characters they could kill off.

I have seen 3 parts out of 4 so far as it is just being aired in the UK! This was meant to be a spoof of other disaster movies! It lived up to its expectations with all the cheesy dialogue and camera footage. The journalist dying to get her big scoop keeps the story ticking over and also the weather centre reporters continue to keep the viewer updated with the mixed up storyline. The nuclear power storyline within the storyline of the deadly storms can be tricky to follow at times but again the reporter tells the audience whats going on with her 'in depth' questions!!The effects are at times impressive but at others seem to have came from a CGI college for beginners - but this adds to the spoof feel of the movie!My favourite character is Randy Quaids Tornado Tommy - he plays this very well, almost too well!I haven't seen the final part out of the movie but i hear he gets killed by the thing he loves - tornadoes! Everyone must please remember that it was a spoof - not a deadly serious potential Oscar winner!!
