Category 6: Day of Destruction is difficult to keep up with due to various subplots. Instead of a simple disaster flick the audience is going to also get an amplitude of environmental abuse, job cuts, global warming, aging industrial infrastructure, computer hackers, corporate corruption, and etc.
This movie isn't just about natural disasters and the convoluted subplots, it is also about people and their personal problems revolving around natural disasters. There is much talk about natural disasters but not enough of it gets actually shown on the screen, there are good parts likes the tornadoes in Las Vegas, St. Louis, and Chicago, but they tend to be overshadowed due to the films plot structure which is heavy on drama.
There are some good actors in the movie. Randy Quaid makes a memorable performance as Tornado Tommy.
For a TV movie miniseries this really wasn't all that bad, I have seen far worse attempts. The special effects are impressive for a TV production, it's mainly the effects that keeps the film from failing.
