Geostorm is def better than Snowman. Less boring, more self aware.
ratings be damned im gonna enjoy this movie
Gerard Butler swaggering around for a couple of hours as a wisecracking action hero?
Geostorm sounds like a direct to video knock off movie.
GEOSTORM is, if nothing else, the greatest movie title of the decade.
Guess we'll just have to settle for the OTHER "future tech goes crazy and causes disasters" film this year.
This movie is pure Alt Right's wet dream
Rating: ½ out of 5It's not a crime for a movie to be boring. Boredom can be a rare and precious gift in a culture of distraction. We should all be bored more often.
But the level of boredom I experienced during Geostorm ought to qualify as at least a second-degree felony in the state of New York. Consider the title of the movie. Consider its central conceit, which is that the whole entire world will experience a massive ”weather event" at once. Consider also that I saw it in one of the nine theaters nationwide projecting the film in ”4DX," which means my chair bucked around while lights flashed, the lumbar support occasionally punched me from behind, and the seat in front of me sprayed what the theater calls ”face water" at me during key moments.
Rating: 6.5 out of 10Brazenly corny and watchably stupid, Dean Devlin's Geostorm only manages to transcend its palpable sense of banality through the sheer force of its own unashamed silliness. Not only are the stakes ratcheted up to gloriously fatuous levels – all the storms on Earth are set to interlock into a worldwide, extinction-level cataclysm – but the emotional payoffs are so smackingly obvious that one is almost moved to a sense of bemused awe.
Rating: 1 out of 5In The Day After Tomorrow, there was no arguing with climate change: when a modern-day ice age blew in, accompanied by catastrophic flash floods and typhoons, all its protagonists could do was take cover, light fires, and hope.
Geostorm plays things a little differently. In Dean Devlin's film, which stars Gerard Butler as the world's leading meteorologist, when the weather misbehaves, you bomb the weather into submission.
Rating: 2 out of 5So, here it is, finally sneaking into cinemas after more delays than Southern trains. Almost exactly a year to the day after originally scheduled; almost three years after shooting began, thanks to reports of extensive reshoots; and accompanied by bad buzz and thousands of tweets of that gif where Michael Jackson is chomping expectantly on popcorn. Oh, and this movie about the worst storm in recorded history is arriving on the back of the worst storms in recorded history. That's the sort of bad timing that would win you a place in the middle order of the England cricket team.
Lmao it was entertaining as fuck.
Do NOT see this sober.
Best 4/10 movie of 2017.
Guess we'll just have to settle for the OTHER "future tech goes crazy and causes disasters" film this year.
So, again, this film probably sucks a lot. I get it, but reading the reviews, if you are trying to make sense out of a catastrophe film story, i don't know what to tell you. It's like if a new Pokemon Go was released every year and reviewers always gave it a 2 because it's bad as a game.
