It's tornadoes, hurricanes, electrical storms, and mass destruction as the effects of global warming brew into a super storm that threatens to rend the earth with an unprecedented power. Beautiful scientist Faith Clavell, storm chaser Tommy Tornado, and Judith Carr, the head of FEMA, can stop the inevitable from happening-if they have the courage to venture into the roiling blackness of the storm itself.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Marshal Phipps Category 7: The End of the World is almost like its prequel, a made for TV disaster movie miniseries that is heavy on drama. While this film has less subplots than the last one, the drama this go around is significantly more heavy. What is a big improvement is there's more of the disaster element to go around which is a major improvement, plus Randy Quaid is back as Tornado Tommy, it turns out he survived being thrown by the tornado which was a major surprise.Despite the improvement previously stated, the film stumbles due to the subplots and heavy drama which includes a pastor riding off of the fear of the public due to the storms to promote his ministry, personal relationships, and a major kidnapping of teenagers in Washington D.C.In the end this sequel is basically an unnecessary complexity of subplots and drama with more disaster.
Leofwine_draca You know, I thought CATEGORY 7: THE END OF THE WORLD was some cheesy B-movie style TV miniseries that had been made by one of the obscure cable channels when it debuted in the USA and probably seen by half a dozen people. Then I find out it bagged the highest viewing figures when it was first shown and was also nominated for an Emmy award. Er, did I see something different to everybody else? This is laughably, atrociously bad, a production that looks like it cost all of a hundred bucks and was made by a bunch of arrogant film school students. It's no different to the endless disaster movies churned out by the likes of the SyFy Channel, all of them bland, nondescript and indistinguishable from each other.CATEGORY 7 contains four episodes which show America assailed by super storms and various other natural disasters, including (randomly) an invasion of poisonous frogs. The scenes of actual disaster are limited, but they're undeniably hilarious, utilising appalling CGI to show the destruction of famous landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore. It's like a Lego version of a Roland Emmerich movie. And, inevitably, the title is a misnomer: only the eastern seaboard of America is threatened, although apparently according to the filmmakers that's the whole world (or at least the only bit that matters).To sustain the running time, there are various sub-plots about TV evangelists, religious nuts, a terrorist group and some kidnapped kids. The dialogue is ear-gratingly routine and the performances are lacking; it's one of those productions where you sometimes feel embarrassed for the actors involved. Gina Gershon, almost unrecognisable after extensive plastic surgery, headlines, and there are minor parts for Robert Wagner, James Brolin, Tom Skerritt, and others besides. Probably the most amusing turn comes from Randy Quaid, reprising his "wacky" turn from INDEPENDENCE DAY as a storm chaser. Sadly, the only reason to watch this is as an unintentional comedy, by which virtue it's funnier than most genuine comedies in cinemas at the moment.
disdressed12 this movie is the sequel to Category 6:Day of Destruction.like category 6,this one deals with a series of catastrophic storm systems, many converging together at one time,creating a series of super storms around the globe.however,this time an unprecedented category 7 is imminent over Washington,D.C which will leave the city in ruins,killing thousands of people.the government and the disaster agencies must find a way to avert disaster.there is also another,non weather related element to deal with,which adds another dimension.will disaster be averted?you will have to watch the movie to find out.there is obviously a ton of action,as in the original.the cgi is quite good for a made for TV movie.the acting however,did not seem as convincing this time around.There are a few strictly minor league (b movie or lower quality)actors/actresses in this movie.also,this movie is much more preachy than the first.at times, it is almost a sermon on pollution and global warming.that put me off a fair bit.the movie is much faster paced than Category 6,so it does movie quicker.the big problem however,is,how do you make the movie more intense than the last one?i don't think you can.the movie is certainly louder,but visually,it had been already been done In the original.and although the movie had some tense moments,i wouldn't call it thrilling,and it wasn't really a fun experience.overall, i'd have to give this movie 6/10
yoongkoh I've seen this movie last night and I find it completely waste of time. The story flow is bad. The common sense is bad (e.g. the twister pull most of the building including cars up to the sky easily but as to the human... it take it takes a long long time). And to make it worst, why the hell do the terrorist want to kidnapped those people in a very dangerous situation like this??? Even if they succeeded, maybe all their others relatives might be dead by now (hello..we are talking about category 7 here) so.. who will save them poor people? The government? well, we all can see that the government themselves are in big trouble.AND the worst part is the ending! All it says is "We are talking about category 7" and the movie ends. This is just totally wrong!
