    I really enjoyed it, quite action packed. Don't know why others are complaing about it.

    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.

    Little far fetch, but it makes you wonder - ?Could it Happen - sure, why not?

    I really enjoyed the show. If you are a peron that loves science fiction, or even how some things happen in the world especially the weather then this is the miniseries for you to watch. I couldn't keep my eyes out of the TV set and I'm not a TV watcher most of the time.

    I thought it was entertaining! That's the bottom line! There wre alos a few sub plots of interest and the special effects for regular TV were amazing in my book. As far as realism, I'm not privy to georgraphic or scientific studies so I can't comment on realism. It was just as good as the day after tomorrow.

    So bad it's good. L'Arc de Triomphe getting blown away? Slo-mo? Tanned televangelists? Poison frogs? Tommy Tornado? Gershon as head of FEMA? Shannon Doherty as some kind of PhD candidate slumming as a bartender??? Come on, people! It doesn't get any badder than this...

    The hokey science, overboard characters, bad bad storms. Cliff hangers before every commercial. Really great fun. A relly serious movie, get real. Just lots of fun to watch.

    People are complaining about the religion?? Brolin's character wants people freed from fear, and the lady wants them afraid so they can come to God. That's, shock!, a conflict. The whole thing is goofy anyway, not a documentary! I love that someone in these reviews said Global Warming has been debunked. Debunked by who? Anway -- I laughed, too.

    I just had a chance to see Category 6 on saturday, and then I watched the 1st half of Category 7. Though I think this movie may offend a lot of people and in the end be deemed very controversial, it does point out a lot of facts from the bible. Like for instance, the Anti-Christ, the Plagues, the slaying of the 1st born, Yes I would agree that it is very animated, but at the same time, I just had a chance to see Category 6 on saturday, and then I watched the 1st half of Category 7.

Look at the # of disastrous hurricanes we've had this year. Take the time to realize how the weather does not match the season. All signs of the time. I am a christian and I do believe that we are living in the last days. So if this movie does nothing else, maybe it will bring some people to christ. I personally like the special effects and the script in the movie and I look foward to next sunday to see the remainder of the film… Expand

    I thought that this show was as close to the real thing as we can et without reaching it. It should show everyone that we need to stop pulluting the earth and start taking better care of it.

    Great fun reading everyone's opinion. I rated this mini series high because i was an extra in it and really enjoyed running in terrior. We all knew that it would be as absurd and funny as was Category 6. It was great to see James Brolin up close and to take part in the special effects. Enjoy laughing at part two but don't look for any meaning to it all.

    I really enjoyed this show, it actually showed some depth. It showed different people, there reactions and actions in light of a disaster and it wasn't all about the storm. Great special effects!

    I thought it was very intriging and interesting to those that appreciate a good natural disaster film. Sure, the acting was a little crummy, but the special effects were some of the best I've ever seen. Overall, I thought it was a great opening to the two part special.

    I really enjoyed the first part of the show. Great line of cast and a good family show ... I gave it a ten. I won't let my kids watch the simpsons but I have no problem with letting them sit and watch this.

    I gave Category 7 a rating of 7. It was at least as good as other disaster movies and the special effects seemed as good as The Day After Tomorrow movie. I liked it but then I will probably watch most disaster movies on TV.

    This mini series is great and Shannen did a great job in it and the only reason that I'm watching this mini series is because of Shannen ;)

    It has moments of being so-bad-it's-good, which is to say it's at its best when it's a near-satire of the genre. But it drowns in redundant action scenes and sentimentality.
