    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

    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...

    1 out of 5 stars What a stinker   October 9, 2008
     0 out of 1 found this review helpful

    I'll preface my review by saying that I generally like to indulge in the fantasy of disaster films. Without doubt, though, this is the worst movie I have ever attempted to watch. After watching the first fifteen minutes I assumed it was going to be a comedy or a spoof and sat in stunned amazement for another 20 minutes before getting the disc out of my player and throwing it in the trash. Besides the premise being laughably silly, the writing and acting are both deplorable. How do these things get made? It's unbelievable that a genuine producer actually read the script for this dog and decided to put money behind it. Imagine Al Gore and George Soros coming up with the most preposterous weather-related doomsday idea they could dream up, teaming up with the worst screenplay writer in the history of Hollywood, then recruiting the least skilled actors they could find in the unemployment line, putting them all together and adding some computerized special effects after directing the production themselves and you have Category 7. Movies this bad should come with a warning label that says "take a good whiff before buying". Horrible, just horrible.


    4 out of 5 stars Movie review   October 3, 2008
    The usual catastrophic film! Blu-ray made it more palatable, but more expensive too. If you like these films, you will like this one too. If not....(?) Personally, I don't mind any type of sci-fi flick, so I will continue to purchase them--although maybe I will not buy Blu-rays to save on costs.


    1 out of 5 stars Category 7: End of the world - should be End the Movie!   September 7, 2008

    This has to be the biggest waste of Blue Ray technology yet. The acting was bad - the visuals were bad - the story was bad - need I say more!

    How do studios manage to get the money for this type of drivel? Besides the bad acting and writing, the worst part for me was the insulting of our intelligence by making these awfully idiotic exaggerations that only a simpleton would accept.


    2 out of 5 stars Typical Disaster movie with your cast of "Hollywood Has-Beens"   August 14, 2008
     1 out of 2 found this review helpful

    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.
