The movie starts out ok, very similar to how The Day After Tomorrow started, quite sensible but soon falls apart and becomes ridiculous over the top cheese flick. Armageddon was fun with plenty of cheese but that felt right in that movie because it didn't take itself too seriously and had comedy elements. The beats are familiar enough. During the action you end up internally saying "Yeah right, like that would happen" because what you see is something ridiculous happening in a dead serious all be it bad movie. 1 point for the FX. All the while, Devlin neglects to put the storm in Geostorm, filling far too much space between disaster sequences with tedious banter and flat emotional moments. The actors probably participated just for making their monthly rent and the director seemed equally bored. 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. My big question is: Who wrote these dialogues ?? Jake goes to beat the crap out of him and learns he did it because he was offered more than what he was payed up there. It’s a disaster movie far too ridiculous to generate any real gravitas, but it’s also just glum enough to suck any fun out of watching the beaches of Rio de Janeiro freeze over in an instant. The nations of the world came together to create a solution - a weather-controlling system nicknamed "Dutch Boy". A disastrous disaster movie that is actually quite low on the disasters to its own detriment. Geostorm will offer the bits of campy fun that some will desire most from it, but as a disaster movie, it’s an almost entirely unmitigated fiasco. The peace only lasts until a military unit in Afghanistan discovers a village, in the middle of desert, killed off instantly by a freak ice storm. On the ground, suspicions begin to arise around President Palma and his possible involvement in the increasing number of deadly malfunctions. Yes, Geostorm is bad, but it’s not a stinker for the ages. Watch all of this week's new film trailers, including new looks at Alex...

After being kicked out of his own space station for insubordination, he’s left estranged from his brother Max (Jim Sturgess), a high-ranking government official who oversees Dutchboy in his stead. | By Alissa Wilkinson @alissamarie Updated Oct 22, 2017, 4:27pm EDT When catastrophic climate change endangers Earth's very survival, world governments unite and create the Dutch Boy Program: a world wide net of satellites, surrounding the planet, that are armed with geoengineering technologies designed to stave off the natural disasters. Trailer: Related Two estranged brothers are tasked with solving the program's malfunction before a world wide Geostorm can engulf the planet. After successfully protecting the planet for three years, something is starting to go wrong. Geostorm will offer the bits of campy fun that some will desire most from it, but as a disaster movie, it’s an almost entirely unmitigated fiasco. After Dutch Boy neutralizes a typhoon in Shanghai, a Senate sub-committee reprimands chief architect Jake Lawson for acting without authorization and replaces him with his brother Max, who works under Secretary of State Leonard Dekkom. Synopsis But now, something has gone wrong—the system built to protect the Earth is attacking it, and it’s a race against the clock to uncover. Geostorm is super serious in its delivery and would have been less rubbish if it had stayed grounded and intelligent like Deep Impact or Twister instead of going wild with the plot and over the top scenarios.
