CATEGORY 7: THE END OF THE WORLD begins where "Category 6: Day of Destruction" ended, as the ultimate superstorm continues to build in size. As the disastrous storm gathers even more strength and begins to ravage the rest of the world, FEMA's newly appointed director, Judith Carr (Gershon), has her hands full preparing for a cataclysmic storm in the U.S. Aiding weather forecasters is storm chaser Tommy Tornado (Quaid), convalesced from his near-death experience in the Category 6 storms and ready for more, and Faith Clavell (Doherty), a beautiful, discredited scientist who teams up with Tommy on the ground to figure out what is making the storms so severe. Up in the sky, pilot Col. Mike Davis (Skerritt) flies high above the storm to try to find what in the atmosphere is causing the storms. Meanwhile, a television evangelist and his wife, Donny and Penny Hall (Brolin and Kurtz), preying on the fears of a storm-battered nation, begin to broadcast alarming warnings of biblical plagues. As the predictions begin to come true, the deadly storm continues to wreak havoc worldwide, culminating in a record-setting Category 7 superstorm over Washington, D.C.

FYI and discussion

[USNBandit]

Unless the "head of FEMA" and the "discredited scientist" have a make-out scene, I predict pretty low ratings.

And what does he find?:

and the Hollywood Left finally have proof it is All Bush's Fault

Please, in your discussions, remember that it doesn't start on the west coast for another 2 hours. Dont ruin it for us.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

[laney]

Special effects freak, here.

I'll watch it.

Can't be any worse than that other one...

[Tuxedo]

First reference to Kyoto, 8:25 CST.

Special effects freak, here.

Me too. But the effects on this show are pretty lame IMHO. I didn't expect much out of this show, but feel I was too optimistic in my expectation.

[CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC]

Every film needs evil villains. And this one has a televangelist and his wife. Played by James Brolin no less - the same one who played Reagan in that awful Regan-bashing film that never got off the ground because of boycott threats.

I will never ever watch any Christian-bashing films if I know in advance that this is what they are.

[SouthernFreebird]

I lasted the first 15 minutes. Couldn't stand the effects or the zig zagging.

[Lawgvr1955]

The Chevy Chase Show was more entertaining than this movie.

[Lawgvr1955]

They should rename it "Category 7: End of Entertainment".

[SouthernFreebird]

LOL it was as bad as that earthquake movie, 10.5.

[Tuxedo]

Not sure the preacher is the villain here. His wife though definitely is up to no good.

[LeeHarvey]

Wonder if the hurricane machine knob goes to "11" ?

[Theophilus]

I lasted 3 minutes. The destruction of France was a great hook.

...culminating in a record-setting Category 7 superstorm over Washington, D.C.

I would have tried harder if I knew it had such a happy ending.

[Tuxedo]

Way too much junk science. Was really hoping for better FX too.... but just more nonsense from See-BS.
