Product Description
After a freak tornado destroys Las Vegas, scientists determine that unusually destructive weather could be building over the United States. When a "category five" hurricane forms over the Great Lakes and a band of "force five" tornadoes moves up the Midwest toward Chicago, the resulting collision of deadly weather fronts not only decimates great cities, it ultimately causes the entire North American power grid to implode, effectively leaving the United States without power for at least six months.

Pretty darned decent for its genre ............2007-06-13

Yes, another natural disaster movie beginning with a series of intense storms in unexpected places throughout the country and culminating with two big ones colliding to create a super-storm over Chicago. The acting was absolutely terrific and the film offers the expected line-up of small and large personal dramas, crises, close calls, heroics and rescues.

I do have to air my few gripes about its content. It seems to drop all reference to the tornado storm while dealing with the hurricane's arrival. And while most scenes are believably realistic, I had to roll my eyes that the "good guys" never faced enough of the storm, while the three dubbed "villains" were, of course, killed by it. The water scenes showed seas not nearly rough enough for a category 5 hurricane, too many people ran around lost in the streets amidst the storm, and are there really that many palm trees in Chicago? My final gripe ... what began as a series of storms building to these two merging abruptly ends, leaving the movie's entire theme of the overall catastrophic effects of global warming dangling pathetically. A politician's promises are all we're offered in the end.

Hey, pay no mind to my picking at the small stuff! Category 6 is decent and engrossing entertainment within the natural disaster genre! :-)

Arrived very quickly and was just as described. Would purchase from seller again.

Just a short note from me........2007-03-30

I'll make this short. I'm not going to shoot down this movie...however I will say this movie (mini series) suffers from the same ailment all of them seem to now-a-days--too many characters, too many subplots, not enough focus on the one main character and plot.

By the way...WHO IS THE MAIN CHARACTER?

On the other hand, having too many characters and subplots is better then craming it full of filler.

Good Disaster Movie along with Moive sequel Category 7 End of the World

Good as Disaster movies go but somewhat contrived .......2006-12-19

I enjoyed this for what it was and the idea of 2 mega storms was interesting. i have one complaint though - we played this on a computer and part way through it suddenly jumped to the titles and we had to go into scene selection to complete the viewing. The story line and acting were ok and i liked the fact that there was a build up to the actual disaster which allowed the charcters to become more real. The action was a bit contrived though and while i can see people being so silly, i hardly think that they would be so blase about it all. Still, all in all, i would recommend this to people who enjoy disaster movies.

Description

10.5 - Seattle, Washington: dawn. An earthquake trembles with a 7.9 magnitude. It's the biggest natural disaster to hit the West Coast in over a century. The aftershock hits Northern California, reaching 8.4, splitting the earth and swallowing a train as it cruises along the landscape. The chance of an aftershock being greater than the quake is virtually unprecedented. Dr. Samantha Hill (Kim Delaney), an expert on hidden fault lines, and the President of the United States (Beau Bridges) must race against time to save the lives of millions. CATEGORY 6 - Nature strikes out with unfathomable fury as the unimaginable becomes a terrifying reality. Three twisters descend upon Las Vegas leaving a neon wasteland in their wake. Hurricanes tear through the Gulf Coast without warning. Record-high temperatures scorch the northeast. One-hundred-mile-an-hour winds tear across the south. Lightning storms ignite the sky. Wildfires blaze out of control. For Amy Harkin, a budding Chicago anchorwoman looking for her big break, the fear of these weather anomalies is second only to the dread of the inevitable repercussions: rolling coast-to-coast blackouts and the dwindling sources needed to revive them. With the worse power breakdown on record looming, an overload could cripple the nation and leave the entire population in the dark, without communication and vulnerable to unthinkable dangers.
