Our planet suffers from the series of unprecedented natural disasters which lead to creation of extensive network of orbiting satellites by the leading world powers to control the climate, as they hope to prevent the world from disasters in the future.Unexpectedly, the system created to protect the Earth, eventually occurs to be the threat to it. New coming disaster, called GEOSTORM is about to wipe everything alive from the planet's surface, so it's high time to reveal the real threat before it happens.
Geostorm seems to understand disaster porn better than even Roland Emmerich himself. There is a lot of exposition, but there are still lots of action scenes. Remember Independence Day really only has three.
A preposterous blend of cautionary tale..., cheesy over-the-top disaster epic and goofy political skulduggery that is almost bad enough to become a camp classic.
Geostorm is quite silly and illogical with a barrage of CGI effects. 4DX is the only way to see this film. It turns the experience into a theme park ride.
"Geostorm" has a more clever premise than it needs to get to its ultimate goal of trashing some of our planet's nicest places. But the results are still mostly dull-witted.
Watching Gerard Butler solve a whodunit is like watching ... chimpanzees move a piano downstairs: a kind of teeth-baring, flea-picking burlesque of recognisable human behaviour that's funny for a while until you start to worry about the ethics of it.
Big, dumb and boring, it finds the co-writer of Independence Day hoping to start a directing career with the same playbook - but forgetting several rules of the game.
