My husband and I almost turned this off after the first hour of the first night, but decided to stick it out to see some potentially cool special effects. But I don't really see what's the big deal about it, since the special effects get never featured that prominently in the movie. For one thing, it's a Hallmark disaster movie. The list contains related movies ordered by similarity. At times it even manages to become laughable.
Finally add a handful of taster events to add excitement. So in summary, the only good bits are from another film, and when you see the best action sequences compressed into a 30-second network promo, it makes Category 6 look quite good. An F6 tornado couldn't suck as much. She got her chance when computer expert Dan London warned her asking, of course, that she not use his name about the vulnerability of the electric transmission system. As chief meteorologist for the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center, Andy Goodman has seen his share of storms. In this case, the even is the joining of two huge storm systems.
Lexer, a major supplier to Mitch's utility, cared more about profits than safety, and of course the company's executives had no conscience. I expected this movie was originally supposed to show before the election. The matching attributes are highlighted in bold. 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. And then we felt compelled to watch the conclusion on Wednesday.
The ringleader is Liz, a blood-sucking space creature masquerading as a city official. Did anyone read the script? If you've seen some of these wackadoo Sci-Fi Channel movies this is not one of them. Category 6 is not good but is a passable few hours if you are desperate for disaster. Meanwhile, Chicago is battling a record heat wave, but residents have no idea the worst storm in history is about to pummel them as the three weather systems collide over the area. It certainly wasn't as bad as I had expected but it also really wasn't too much good either. A snowfall and a storm force flows towards Chicago.
Amy got tired of fluff stories and wanted to be taken seriously. Back in 1998 - 2000 there were dozen of films that dealt with global destruction of some sort. I'm a bit of a disaster movie junkie. Though the citizens of Chicago are warned to reduce their energy consumption by secretary of energy Shirley Abbott the Windy City is thrust into darkness when severe thunderstorms destroy the city's main power-generating plant. Randy Quaid stood out from the pack as storm chaser Tornado Tommy, who was quite a character.
Someone thought that entering 'Enron' into the script would give it currency when discussing power companies. Of course, at the end, the main characters will survive and life will go on. However, the script is so awful and there's so much explaining of the characters' background within the dialogue that we feel we're being treated like morons. It all comes down to a thing called film showmanship. But maybe there are the special effects to watch.
Unless you're really into self-punishment or you're a rabid environmentalist , don't watch this movie. So this makes it okay. There is much talk about natural disasters but not enough of it gets actually shown on the screen, there are good parts likes the tornadoes in Las Vegas, St. The television miniseries Category 6: Day of Destruction is currently available on instant Netflix. Come on you guys--it's a dandy no brainer. I don't know why but I ended up watching it the whole 2 hours. However Category 6 does a great job of wrapping everything up and still being very excited.
Meanwhile, a corrupt power company is ignoring a computer expert's warnings that their computer system is vulnerable to hackers. Plot: apocalypse, survival, adventure, heroes, fighting the system, save the world, journalism, obsessive quest, danger, heroic mission, chases and races, chaos and mayhem, chaos, forces of nature, escapades, rivalry, assassination, race against time, bank robbery, casino, tornado, death, hurricane, theft, storm. Meanwhile, Chicago is battling a record heat wave, but residents have no idea the worst storm in history is about to pummel them as the three weather systems collide over the area. Randy Quaid, Dianne Wiest and Brian Dennehy are no small time actors. This is the sort of typical dramatic disaster movie that features many characters in it, of which none really ever work out as an interesting or engaging one.
With no means to warn the outside world of the dangers fast approaching, Harkin and Midwest Electric chief of operations Mitch Benson must race against time to get the word out to citizens and emergency workers before the snowballing blackout causes a complete collapse of the entire North American power grid. Our last visit was no exception. 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. There have been some great television movies in that past. Yes Quaid is normally manic but given how snooze-inducing the rest of the cast is, manic works. Avoid this mess of a movie. The only reason I know this film exists is because I wanted to see what Nancy McKeon had been up to since The Facts of Life ended.
It has a mix of everything in it, from love, to adventure to huge thrills. From the aforementioned hurricane footage to an inability to understand how cellphones work, the gaffes are fast and furious. It didn't matter what the story was, the acting was terrible, the words the actors said were dumb, and 13 scientists throughout the country had coronaries after hearing the dribble that came out of the movie. Very routine formula film about a disaster. Wow this was a great movie, and more impressive is that it was a made for television movie. No damage to the jewel case or item cover, no scuffs, scratches, cracks, or holes.
