After so many bad, but successful Films, someone like Dean Devlin was due something like this. Let the storm of criticism begin...
In a wave of lazy Narration, we learn that the Earth was hit by massive storms in 2019 (oh no!) and a Satellite Network called 'Dutchboy' was built to stop it.
Oh and this Narrator is Gerard Butler's Daughter (in the Film) and you won't hear her again until the End!
After we see Butler fired, we are told that the Satellite would be out of 100% U.S. control in three years.
We then cut to 3 years later and strange 'accidents' keep happening. For instance, this frozen Afghan Village.
After plenty of padding (I mean, tension), Butler (the creator of the Network) is sent back up to solve the crisis.
Gerard Butler as a Scientist vs. Mark Wahlberg as a Scientist- who is less believable?
Back on Earth, his Brother (sure!) and Domino team-up to uncover the mystery of who's to blame.
Before you confuse this with All of the President's Men, there's also disaster porn as 'accidents' keep happening.
Can they stop the (obvious) men behind the Plot? Will the World be destroyed?
To find out, watch the Film.
Stupid, silly fun. The Film takes itself very seriously, which makes it great. This is not a Sharknado kind of thing where it is tongue-in-cheek. This is the best kind of bad Movie- it wants you to take it seriously and respect it. Yeah, you're Geostorm, so...I'm good. The first third of the Film is kind of a drag as it sets things up though. After you get past that, the Movie turns into pure crappy gold. It has giant explosions, silly moments of CGI splendor and that silly thing where they follow one random guy/girl during all of the chaos to 'humanize' it. They spent $100 million on this and it should have been a $1 billion Film. Yeah, it lost around $70 million. If you think that Geostorm is going to be good, what is wrong with you? It is Geostorm! The whole thing is kind of fun for all of the wrong reasons and I recommend it for those reasons. For a Film with CGI explosions, giant storms and all of its ilk, the thing I find least believable is the fact that these two are somehow Brothers...
Bad stuff if you actually want a quality Film. If you want something silly and ridiculous, this is for you!
