I fucking loved it. don't watch the trailer, don't expect anything wow or amazing simply just watch this movie with a unbiased mind and enjoy .
this movie serious deserves better
Very intense, on the edge of my seat the whole movie.
If you take this movie for what it is, an action / science fiction movie with emphasis on fiction, then it is, in my opinion, actually not too bad.
The movie starts of with the usual suspects, a bunch of political asswipes setting off to create their, equally usual, clusterfuck firing the one competent person they actually needed to run the climate control project successfully. To make matters worse the entire project are about to be turned over to “the international community” which of course is a well known recipe for disaster.
Hollywood lives in their usual dream world of course so they throw in suitable, old-fashioned, bad guy with the “correct” political views for a bad guy and with an outrageous and apocalyptic plan and we are all set.
Let’s ignore all that crap and focus on the movie. Once that nonsense is out of the way what is left is a fairly entertaining science fiction disaster thriller movie. The special effects are not bad and the movie moves along at a decent pace. The “raison de etre” for this movie is the action and the special effects so the story and the acting is adequate and nothing more.
Unfortunately, as is all too often the case, the story writer is a bit of a low watt bulb. This satellite network that is the foundation of the movie is fairly unrealistic even for a science fiction movie. Let’s forget about the total insanity in even trying to cover the planet in a network of satellites that are actually physically connected, the feats that these satellites achieve is just so far off the realism scale that is is annoying. What the heck are powering them? Anti-matter, black holes? This could have been done much better.
Then we have the self destruct sequence that is playing a large part towards the end of the movie. What kind of fucking self destruct blows up a few bits and pieces for show and then pauses so the characters can run around for half an hour or so? Either the story writer is dumb as a door nail or he thinks the audience is that dumb.
Anyway, the annoying parts aside, as a science fiction and fantasy geek this was a fairly entertaining movie for me.
It's a disaster alright. Genuinely bad movie, with dodgy special effects, dumb plotting, and terrible dialogue. Rewatch Deep Impact or 2012 instead - neither film are classics - but they have more to offer than this crapfest.
Ok...so the same thing applies to Geostorm as any other disaster movie. I got a BIG soft spot for them.
Is Geostorm a good movie?
Most certainly not!!!
Has it got many redeeming factors?
Not that many...
Is it passable as an evenings entertainment?
For me...certainly!!! For most others...probably not.
Geostorm is as cheesy as French breakfast, and the story has more holes than said cheese, but it's got a whole lot of explosions, natural disasters, and even guns.
In any case...you should probably stay away if you're not like me.
Entertaining? Yes. Good? Not really.
Some jokes were good. The story has been seen a thousand times. The plot is not that good. Everything is sooooooo corny.
I had such a laugh at the scene with the self-driving taxi. The scene is so absurd. I mean, even if they could teleport themselves behind Ed Harris, there’s no way he couldn’t see them coming. We sure did!
Anyway, Geostorm was a climat-disaster-action-comedy with a lot of cgi kind of movie with a lot of US stereotypes seen in this genre. If you like the genre, you’ll like the movie. If you don’t, don’t overthink it or don’t watch it.
Just as expected this movie just defies all laws of physics… amazingly bad… just a horrible movie!
I've seen a lot of catastrophic movies, but it's the first one I see that's put together with a plot of conspiracy, Gerald Butler is a good boss and fought against adversity
So horrible. Don’t waste your time.
I saw that this movie only got a 5,5 from IMDB, in my opinion that is just too low. This was not a masterpiece with a deep plot but it was a good movie with really nice special effects. Easy to follow, some nice actors but let's be honest, we all watch movies like this because we love to see them destroy cities with cool effects and that was one point.
how does a movie like this gets a "go ahead" from a Studio? by mistake? bribes? someone chooses from random pile of scripts without reading them? really. i want to know!
Dean Devlin delivers a movie that is dumb, loud and manipulative. ..but I forgive it because it was fun. 6/10
Final grade: not working satelite /10
How a movie with a concept this grand in scale could be something so utterly lazy is mind-boggling. I could not believe how awful this was. I didn't expect much and got even less. One of the worst movies I have ever seen. It's not fun in a bad way, either. It's just face-palm stupid.
Jesus Christ that was amazing. I saw at the IMAX Laser first time round and finally got round to re-watching it at home on my C6 OLED, looked and sounded sublime. The amount of boom is crazy and amazing 3D.
Funny lines, cliche disaster movie dog stories and a ton of boom. Sarah Wilson as the Secret Service agent was really good, reminded me of a female Jack Bauer! Also I thought the casting on this was on point - no silly hollywood "look". Everyone looked normal.
This was actually way better than I expected and I really enjoyed it. Sure there were those cheesy lines and the story was very predictable but nevertheless it was enjoyable and the CGI was also cool. I also loved to see Alexandra Maria Lara in this big Hollywood production.
lol...
That's pretty much all I can say, and I'm not laughing because I found the movie funny, I'm laughing at how bad this movie is and this is coming from someone who usually like dumb catastrophe movies (like The Day After Tomorrow and 2012).
Saw the trailer and was like OMG amazing idea.....watched this film last night sucked so much.....poor execution to the max
This movie is... meh, just this.
Suffers from the usual issues with this kind of movies: thin story, weak script, clichéd characters, little science, tons of fiction. CGI isn't top notch either, it varies a lot. The scenes in space look ok but those showing the catastrophes are bad by todays standars. maybe the budget ran out.
But grab a beer and some popcorn, don't ask questions and you may get some entertainment out of it.
I feel alone.
Had no expectations what so ever, but I liked it very much.
You know it's bad when you can't switch off your brain to enjoy the mindless fun because your intelligence is being insulted at every turn.
Definitely the worst movie of the year........ Or the best if you watch it for laughs, so so so bad it's good, I'll watch this annually to cheer me up.
The dude outrunning the 'natural' disaster in a smart car is about as stupid as the Rock driving a boat up the giant Tsunami in San Andreas...Stop...Delete From Watchlist (Y/N?) ...Deleted...
Obnoxiously predictable plot, atrocious acting (though I feel Gerard did a decent job) and unoriginal villains. Within the first 10 minutes I knew how the movie was going to go, which made the next 90 minutes painful. The CGI wasn't even well done, so I could appreciate the visuals where the story was lacking.
Okay, here's a question to my followers. How do I rate a movie that's so shitty, it's enjoyable? Like, I had fun watching this, but I understood it's schlock. Once I get some comments, I'll lower or keep this score.
I never, ever thought I'd be here saying this, but I actually had a little fun watching Geostorm. Yeah, like, no shit. This was more fun than Independence Day: Resurgence and San Andreas, the last two big disaster movies to come out. I think what Dean Devlin understood over the last two attempts was to just have fun with the project. It's like he knew what he was doing was making shit, but said, "Fuck, just go all out with it." The disaster scenes are upped a few notches, they're crazy, loud, extreme, and laughably put together. This movie's all over the place for me. I'm not sure how to feel. Some parts of this movie are just straight-up bad, like not thought out well, yet some other parts I thought were competently done and nicely written, and other parts are so-bad-it's-funny. The movie's everywhere in terms of my enjoyment. I think there's actually some decent writing here and there, leagues above Independence Day: Resurgence, and other parts where the dialogue is laughably bad. I don't know if Devlin did this on purpose, but it's very interesting to say the least. The story is not original at all, it's borrowed heavily from previous disaster movies, even ones not produced by Roland Emmerich, but for some reason, I didn't mind most of the time. Maybe it was the character writing or order of sequences, but I didn't really get annoyed or frustrated with seeing the same plot again. There was some kind of flavor this time around I was actually getting into. It's not great writing, like I've said, but I didn't hate watching it. There's even a couple genuinely humorous moments, that actually landed, which shocked me. But more often than not, the movie serves as a shit fest that's fun. And I love that stuff. If you've followed me for some time, you know I enjoy shit that's fun. And that's what this is. It's popcorn entertainment and that's what Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin do best. Even Godzilla (1998) I didn't hate because it's enjoyable, though I know it's a crappy movie. There's been a couple movies like that this year, that I think are crappy movies, but fun, like The Great Wall and Kong: Skull Island. However, those have at least artistic merit to them, standing as solid movies, even if they're mindless popcorn flicks. We're at an age where it's really hard to rate movies, at least for me. How do you rate something of this nature? And what counts as so-bad-it's-fun and actually good? Kong: Skull Island I think is a well-enough written movie and competently directed movie that gets it well above shit-but-fun-tier, so that's not on the same level as Geostorm, even though both are just popcorn flicks. Geostorm is enjoyable because of it's shitty quality, so I think that's where we need to make the distinction here. This is getting really fucking confusing for me now, but I love this discussion. It just goes to show judging movies are not all about the rating, but the discussion. This is such a weird movie for me. I need to let it sit with me for a little longer, and I might update this post.
Decent disaster picture. It has nothing new for the genre, and nothing really stand out, but if you dig these kind of movies, it's an entertaining enough way to waste some time.
What is wrong with people? At the time of posting this is getting 68% My already low faith in humanity has dropped a notch lower.
There is nothing to redeem this movie. Nothing. Even Ed Harris and Andy Garcia can't lift the quality.
this movie .. is just so .. bad.
Of course it was the Americans trying to make themselves great again LOl so dumb so so dumb
My list of the worst movies I've ever watched has grown up..
a preview of a 2020 documentary.
Oh dear. Dull doesn't come close. Unrealistic, not-to-say terrible plot, clunky, cliched script and awful CGI. Gerard Butler as a scientist, in charge of global weather management. Eeek. It's so bad, it's just bad. Don't bother..
I'ma just leave this right here, what I told my wife about this movie: "The first half of the movie was pretty stinkin' good; the second half was pretty stinkin'."
Seriously, the first half was really good; great buildup, feasible storyline, some cool SFX so when I paused it at the halfway mark to snag some food, I was really excited about how it was going to end. Turns out, the second half was barely passable...and in many places, wasn't passable at all. While Gerard Butler definitely pulls his weight throughout, this Jim Sturgess character was scarcely tolerable. I've no idea who he is or if he's done anything else but he exhibited NO personality or acting chops here. Ed Harris, whom I also enjoy, did his part - though little of it there was, and he didn't seem to really fit the character all that well. The rest of the cast (including Andy Garcia) was easily forgettable, and the ... you know, sometimes you just have to disengage your brain to enjoy the outlandish theatrics of an action movie and I'm usually pretty good at that but this...yuck. You just... They built the first half of the movie like it was..I don't know... Ben Hur or some classic, awe-inspiring, end-of-days movie that tugged at your heart-strings and all that, and then the second half, they just basically slipped a fart balloon under the seat cushion and embarrassed the whole movie. I mean, seriously...we went from some real drama and emotive experiences to something as incredibly cheesy as Commando meets The Fast and the Furious ... action scenes that were so preposterous, so outlandish, so unbelievable as to actually come across as cartoonish, laughable. "Cheesy" doesn't begin to describe the second half of this film; it was just awful. I mean, it had a good ending, sure, but it was so outlandish as to seem like someone just got bored .... I'm reminded of the ONE TIME I attempted to play Dungeons & Dragons with some friends. I had no idea what the game was about or how to play so I was naturally bored with it right from the start. We tried - the friends who talked me into it explained things as we went along - to play, but after just a very short time, I was like, "I kill you with my magic armor ball and chain and you can't hurt me back because I have a force field.." and my friends eventually got caught up in the lunacy of what I was doing (because I was bored with the slow pace of the real game) and they started doing the same thing. Finally, the entire board and all the pieces got picked up by someone (I don't remember who, but it wasn't me) and flung wildly across the room as we all giggled like stupid little school boys. (We were semi-grown young men in the Army at that time.) This movie comes across that way: they started off really strong, really intriguing, putting everything together, and then someone got bored and just started flinging things across the room, saying, "Can we just blow everything up and end this?" And that's basically what you get: a hodge-podge of great SFX scenes of natural disaster where 3/4 of the planet is destroyed...and then a beautiful, spectacular sunset as the heroes and heroines walk off into the rolling credits. This is a really long review to say that I liked the first half of the movie, but then someone just completely ruined a good thing by (seemingly) not taking it seriously enough to write a decent ending to it. A "happy ending" doesn't always mean a "good ending", and even though they tried to wrap this one up all neat and tidy and pin it off with a happy-face at the end, the second half ruined what SHOULD HAVE been a good film. Watch this one if you like "natural disaster" films ( Twister , Day after Tomorrow , etc) but be prepared for a really sucky ending. The SFX are great; I'll give 'em that. But apart from that, the second half of this movie was just too utterly stupid to even be entertaining.
I love a end of the world movie!
The brother, the one working in government is probably the worst written / played role in the entire movie history. I liked some scenes, but not the dialogue.
oneplanetonepeople :))
Pretty good movie. I’ve always liked Gerard Butler acting.
Zazie Beetz's involvement in action was to celebrate and clap with a bunch of extras at the final moments of the movie.
Despite the fact that the movie has some hiccups in terms of CGI and dialogues I somehow quite enjoyed it.
Even with the hiccups I liked the general idea the movie had. One giant system that controls earth's weather/climate that could be used as a weapon.
This is, by far, the weirdest kind of bad movie I've ever seen. It's so bad it's good, kind of thing. So it deserves a low score, but you know why you want to watch this, if you're into this kind of thing at all. They speak in this weird, forced, official language that is really hard to follow. Half of the time, you have no idea what's actually going on. The solution to a problem is literally super handy and within easy reach, building no tension. Everyone is convinceable. The bad guy is a stereotype pur sang. The actors seem to have no idea what direction they want to go on and their well-tried efforts did not come out well from the editing room. It's so ridiculously edited, at one point they try to portrey 4 global disasters going one, while also telling a story down on Earth and one on the space ship. Which ends up with this... off-balanced act of fitting all the pieces together, it becomes surreal in the process. Must watch if you want to have a laugh at a good effort to make a decent movie, but lacks heavily in the the dialogue and editing.
Seeing the previews really had me wanting to see this.. with me being a Sci-Fi fan... it was a must.
Definitely a disappointment. Lacked more details.. the graphics should have been so much better considering this day and age.
Overall... it's a okay film. Not a real eye catcher.
Cliche as hell but the cast is great and it makes an entertaining home viewing. It’s Armageddon, any Roland Emmerich movie and a little Interstellar all in one.
Not too sure what some people expect from this sort of movie to be honest. Will it win an Oscar? No, but that doesn't mean it's dire. Geostorm is a fun movie that will while away an evening when you've got a load of ironing to catch up on after Christmas. Certainly did for me.
I saw a lot of hate towards this movie, which put me off from watching it for a long time, but once you have nothing to do and you throw this on, just to waste a few hours, it really isn't all that bad. The main thing this movie wants to portray is that we can't fight off upcoming weather changes on our own, but if we band together as humans, maybe just maybe we'll have a chance. Throw in the usual nut job that wants to take over and control the world as he sees fit, a few coders, a seriously OP secret service agent (well she is gorgeous soooo she's forgiven), two estranged brothers, a promise to make it back home and you have yourself a decent movie. The dialogue might not be great, the CGI might not be the best, and the storyline might resemble 2012 somewhat, but it's not a bad movie and deserved at least a 6 on IMDB.
Meh. all is well when it ends too well. good idea poorly executed. it's an entertaining movie with mediocre acting, poor dialog and plot.
Now this Movie Was about to Receive a 3.5/5 BUT!!! the Cliche Ending Destroyed all of that Butler Performance was Good Indeed But Killing his Character Off was best for business.
Armageddon I commended u for Killing off Bruce Willis til this day great ending.
this movie is cliche with the plot as well and a mixture of Day After Tomorrow, 2012 And Olympus Has Fallen with Action Scenes. I enjoyed the movie but the Cliche Plot and Ending Killed the Rating for me. but it's worth watching
This is going to be my shortest review...
LIKE REALLY ???
Give me back 2 hours of my life...
Your average American disaster movie, but it's well made and cool visuals. Good movie overall.
They saved the world almost like Bruce Willis in "Armageddon"... almost like ;)
I should have looked at the director of this movie before watching, it's so stereotipically bad disaster movie, ignoring even the most basic laws of physics, with dumb plot and characters. Mr. Devlin, we are not in the 1990's anymore.
good film,exciting and kind of realistic (due to our earth state nowadays)
Very low on science and related action, but enough action and suspense to not be a total letdown.
what is it with actors like Jim Sturgess that all dialogue is spoken in a voice like they've just finished running a marathon?
anyway, my girlfriend enjoyed it as pure mindless fun so all good ^__^
After 300 Gerald Butler should’ve stop making movies , my new rule is not to watch a movie with him expecting a favorable outcome.
Too bad after watching this I can’t have my if time it’s money after watching this I was rob.
Was very disappointed in this movie. Natural disaster movies is the one type of movie I can actually so through and this one was completely boring. Didn't even capture my attention for more than a few minutes at a time.
Tk Vibo fun dll sip di yo
Movie is like saying "Yeah people, a psycho of our own can ruin shit load of city in the world just for fun. But we can fix it with our god given amazingneess (but at the last second just to make sure enough people are dead ) and act like we save the world. Then we can 'Whooooahh' to our achievement, and we can say one planet, one people. Cuz trust us, we will always have powerful people with right mindset who also cares about the rest of the world." No shit! What kind of dumbass can write a story around this idea, oh sorry, Trump's America. Stay tuned for Geostorm 2. Whoooooooah!
"Geostorm aims for epic disaster-movie spectacle but ends up simply being a disaster of a movie." Couldn't have said it better
seriously the worst movie I ever saw, the only thing good about is the CGI and Gerard's presence the rest of it is just garbage really, the lines are cheesy to say the least the polt twists are only new if you never saw a movie before, the clichés on this movie are off the roof, the movie is boring because of this, you already know what's gonna happen. The story is overall bad and seen 100x over. do not waste your time watching this.
Fantastic! Loved Gerard Butler as always! Rating: Ninja!

I was sold on this movie when I saw that can with blue led backlight.
OMG motor on engine hoist while then one you are replacing is still in the car? This movie is just getting better.
Aaah the 8yo 13yo daughter year. Really this is one of these so bad it is good movies.
You know cgi is also trying not to look crap, but failing etc.
Ugh, what a shit storm. The only disaster here is the film itself. Too much WTF, too much romance, too much bromance, too few special effects and too little action. This might be the worst film I've seen this year. All of the best scenes are already in the trailer so spend your money on another film, like one that actually does what it says on the title or portrays what it shows on the poster.
Very very very very bad movie.
There's something crappy about this movie.
I felt something failed. Purpose: unclear.

This movie is dumb, not dumb fun, just dumb. Terrible dialogue, some laughably bad CGI, and worst of all it was just boring. There was a long stretch were there were no disasters. They really should of put more disasters and less people looking at computers trying to stop them. Maybe then it would of been some mindless fun.
