Product Description: NEW ON BLU-RAY CATEGORY 7: THE END OF THE WORLD As a deadly Category 6 storm descends upon the Earth, unleashing violent winds, hurricane force pressure, and devastating tornadoes, officials scramble to pinpoint the cause. Though global warming is suspect, beautiful but discredited scientist Faith Clavell (Shannen Doherty, Mallrats, TV's Charmed) realizes that something else is triggering the extreme weather. Teaming up with storm chaser Tommy Tornado (Emmy® nominee Randy Quaid, Brokeback Mountain, Elvis) and Judith Carr (Gina Gershon, Sinatra, Face/Off), head of FEMA, Faith realizes they must enter the storm itself if they hope to stop it. While the country is at its most vulnerable, the government becomes aware that it is the target of a terrorist organization. Now, it's not only man against nature, but man against man as an intensified Category 7 approaches...
Amazon.com: Who doesn't enjoy watching big things fall to pieces? Category 7: The End of the World wreaks havoc on the Eiffel Tower, Mt. Rushmore, the Pyramids, and a midwestern trailer park, among other things. More or less a sequel to Category 6: Day of Destruction (presumably the latest in a series that began with Category 1: Don't Forget Your Umbrella), Category 7 offers the reassuring sight of Gina Gershon, skilled with disasters like Showgirls, taking control of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Confronted with city-destroying weather, she calls in rebel meteorologist Ross Duffy (Cameron Daddo, star of such classics as Pterodactyl and Anthrax), who runs the Extreme Weather Lab and harbors theories that threaten the political status quo. Ross brings in Tommy Tornado (Randy Quaid, the sole returning actor from Category 6), Faith Clavell (Shannen Doherty, Charmed), and Col. Mike Davis (Tom Skerritt, Alien) to gather data...which isn't the most dramatic of activities (even when it involves souped-up cars and superjets), so the movie adds a subplot about a religious zealot (Nicholas Lea, The X-Files) who wants to unleash the plagues of Egypt so that everyone will realize it's the End of Days. What does it all add up to? A lot of over-the-top hooey (and that's not including the assorted family turmoils), but pretty entertaining nonetheless. It's like a lesser Michael Crichton novel: Take an inflammatory vaguely scientific premise, add two-dimensional characters, cheesy but spectacular effects, and a full-throttle if nonsensical plot, and presto! Over three hours of silly yet utterly watchable television. For added fun, drink a shot every time one character tells another "You're the most important person on the planet right now." --Bret Fetzer
Typical Disaster movie with your cast of "Hollywood Has-Beens" This movie was ridiculous, goofy, funny, stupid and very entertaining. I always like watching other people suffer from phony disasters. It gives me that warm, fuzzy feeling inside; knowing that Hollywood still has a place for run-down, used-up, has-been movie stars like Robert Wagner, Randy Quaid, James Brolin, etc., Then again, if I were out of work and someone asked me to star in a disaster flick - I'd been stomping over the other "has-beens" like me, in a minute. It's money in the bank (Shannon Doherty needed it), so can you really fault these "over-the-hill" types for taking these roles. No! "The Storm Of Global Proportions Is Coming" - The Out of Job Hollywood Actors Are Coming....Let's hope they're acting is not the cause of the End of The World. Hooo-boy.
Love this movie! Love this movie! Took me along time to find it till I came to Amazon!
The Worst Movie Ever! Don't buy it!!! OK. I'm VERY forgiving when it comes to movies. I suspend belief where others criticize. However, I bought the BluRay version of this movie and ended up stopping it just over halfway through. With so many used-to-be stars, you'd think it would be much better. Really, it's embarrassingly bad!
Actually, it was so bad, I didn't even keep it. I through it into the trash without watching the whole thing. This is the first time I've hated a movie so much! I've NEVER thrown away movies! Not even movies I didn't like very much.
Don't buy this movie! You'll be wasting your money! If you do buy it, come back on here and share how bad it was so someone like me doesn't buy such garbage again! The average rating for this movie is about six stars higher than it should be, and I have no idea how that happened.
Makes You Stop And Think This is another great movie that makes you stop and think and I think that this could really happen and its slowly getting to that point here on the planet
Not BLU-RAY Copied from DVD Love disaster movies when i saw this on blu-ray i bought it but after careful inspection of this video it is MPEG-2 not BLU-RAY this has been copied from a dvd onto a blu-ray disc...
LOVE Gina Gershon what a Babe 10++ but being in computer video business it was easy for me to figure out that this movie was copied from a dvd disc not real blu-ray.......
