What if, in the wake of more than a decade of devastating weather events, we finally found a way to control Mother Nature and the destruction her tirades entail? When catastrophic climate change endangers Earth's very survival, world governments unite and create Project Dutch Boy: a global net of satellites surrounding the planet that are armed with geo-engineering technologies designed to stave off the natural disasters. After successfully protecting the planet for two years, something is starting to go wrong. Two estranged brothers (Gerard Butler, Jim Sturgess) are tasked with solving the program's malfunction before a worldwide Geostorm can engulf the planet.

Critics Consensus: Lacking impressive visuals, well-written characters, or involving drama, Geostorm aims for epic disaster-movie spectacle but ends up simply being a disaster of a movie.

Reviews

Keith & the Movies

Keith Garlington

It plods along failing to muster even the slightest bit of energy.

For when the brain begs to watch the exact opposite of a brainy film: it's a fun popcorn movie that's also absurd and forgettable. Sometimes, we all need a Geostorm in our lives. [Full review in Spanish]

I'm generally okay with disaster movies being dumb, so long as they can construct entertaining action sequences with charismatic characters. Geostorm has none of those things.

Geostorm offers a few unexpected, if ironic delights. If you've ever wanted to see Ed Harris lift an RPG launcher from the trunk of a car, this is your chance.

That it was finally unleashed without fanfare in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria isn't Devlin's fault, though with Puerto Rico begging for electricity his fetish for global chaos and destruction has never seemed a more shameful kink.
