Geostorm (2017) - IMDb

When the network of satellites designed to control the global climate starts to attack Earth, it's a race against the clock for its creator to uncover the real threat before a worldwide Geostorm wipes out everything and everyone.

This was just about one of the worst movies I've seen in a while. It's so bad I highly recommend it.

Very much agree.

I like my disaster movies to have a lot of disaster in them and this one didn't. I hated the storyline and even more I hated the main actor. Disaster movies should be fun and thrilling and keep you wondering how things are going to play out. I did not care at all what happened to these characters.

I love disaster movies and am very pedestrian in my tastes, and I also thought this was dreadful. So, so bad. It wasn't even bad in a SyFy movie sort of way, when you expect it to be really rotten so the badness is campy. This movie had a hard time deciding what it wanted to be: sci-fi...a disaster movie...political intrigue...a character study of family dysfunction? It took itself really seriously, and yet it was horrible.

Nothing can compare to the disasters of disaster movies that Irwin Allen produced. I cringed every time I heard a film had his name attached.

I love sci-fi disaster movies too, but this one was a predictable snoozefest.

Spoiler
Person gets killed when they make the discovery - Check
Plot holes - Check
Science that doesn't make sense - Check
Person who "dies" saving the day - Check
Evil Government Villain who is looking out for himself - Check


I wasted $6 watching this on Fandango. At least I didn't pay full price and see it in the theatre liked I wanted to do originally.

I did like the scene in the beginning though. At least there was some comedic relief there.

A small part of this that I didnt like (that is also in many other movies today), Gerald Butlers daughter in the movie, an 11-12 yr old girl is depicted as being super intelligent well beyond her years, of course they show her building some kind of mechanical contraption when she is introduced and its no surprise to her uncle that she is able to do these things.

Movies back in the 70s, 80s and 90s usually depicted kids as being super dumb if anything!
