... Category 6: Day of Destruction
7:00 PM, SYFY
"The Day After Tomorrow" took a serious topic (climate change) and turned it into a preposterous but fun showcase of impressive special effects. This TV knockoff, on the other hand, is soft-core weather porn, a perfect storm of unconvincing special effects, cliches and the kind of careless casting that gives a pair of American actors a TV son with a thick Canadian accent. Dianne Wiest escapes with her dignity intact, but co-star Brian Dennehy has trouble staying awake, while Thomas Gibson just looks miserable.
