| Q. | are any of these movies any good? | Related Search:
Movies | | | Category 6: Day of Destruction (2004)
or the sequel
Category 7: The End of the World (2005)
and can anyone tell me were i can watch them.
| | A. | Well, you should watch older yet higher budget films such as "Twister", "The Day After Tommarow", and "Armagedon". They are all related to what "Catagory 6, and 7" are related to. The only difference is that Catagory 6, and 7 are Low-Budget films, which tend to be a waste of time with cheesy effects and stupid actors. | | | |

| | A. | Hi Willow. There are some really brilliant ones from the B&W days of cinema, but I can't flippin well remember the titles! Maybe another user will be able to...
There was a fantastic one about how underground nuclear tests were actually splitting the world in two, so we had a big Yellowstone type thing happening and a giant split opening to the core. Such a good film for its morals as well r.e. nuclear dangers; there were lots of those types of films made in the 50s/60s about us creating massive natural disaster by messing with nature, etc. | | | |
| Q. | On November 3rd, 2005 Shannen Doherty was on The View. Where can I find either a clip of this or a transcript? | Related Search:
Reality Television | | | It was about her Category 7: The End of The World miniseries, if that's any help at all.
As far as YouTube, I wasn't able to find it there.
| | A. | A good place to start would be YouTube. If you have the time and patience, you might want to also try searching through any of the free filesharing networks (Limewire, etc.) | | | |

| Q. | Can anyone tell me how to find out who the scientific consultant was for a movie? | Related Search:
Other - Education | | | I am taking a seminar course where we look at movies and compare them to how natural disasters really occur. The movie I chose was Category 7:The End of the World. I would like to find out who the consultant was on the movie-it is the only information I need that I don't have-and I really do not want to have to rent it again. Please, please, please, help me out! I did find a page that said it listed the entire crew, but no consultants were on there and I know that the writing team could not have come up with some of this stuff on their own! Thanks for your time!
Most movies actually do have a science consultant, but their job is not to make sure everything is factual but to make sure things are perceptually real. There are many true things in disaster movies surrounded by untruths. It's a natural disaster movie's way of using the Socratic Method. If they show you the referentially real parts in combination with the referentially unreal, they create a situation that is perceptually real and believable to the audience.
For anyone that is interested:

| | A. | IMDB is usually very good for this sort of thing, but the links below don't seem to list a scientific advisor. (technical consultant for the FX, yes. Science, no)
Assuming you have a copy of the movie, it might be worth watching the credits again. Assuming you've done that, have you tried emailing the production company?
It is possible that, like many movies in the disaster genre, there is no scientific consultant. It may be that the idea and execution are the thoughts and fears of the writers and bear little foundation in science, just a foundation in a poorly written magazine article they once read!
I've not seen this one but "The Day After Tomorrow" falls into that catagory. [Catagory 8: The end of common sense?)A lot of these films are about the FX, the flash, the spectacle. Not the science. Hollywood doesn't do fact very well, it often gets in the way of a good story.
That's not a criticism, they do well at the box office! | | | |
