Review of Geostorm (2017) by Whitewolf_1984 — 14 Dec 2019

The movie starts out ok, very similar to how The Day After Tomorrow started, quite sensible but soon falls apart and becomes ridiculous over the top cheese flick. Unlike a cheesy fun disaster movie like Armageddon or 2012, Geostorms serious tone doesn't suit the cheesy fun set pieces.

Armageddon was fun with plenty of cheese but that felt right in that movie because it didn't take itself too seriously and had comedy elements. Geostorm is super serious in its delivery and would have been less rubbish if it had stayed grounded and intelligent like Deep Impact or Twister instead of going wild with the plot and over the top scenarios.

The acting is alright just bland characters with dull dialogue. The parts that made me go from disliking this to hating it was the nonsense Science, the cringe action scenes and the stupid twist halfway through.

The science in this movie doesn't make sense and logic is out the window. If you like science you will hate this film. The action is mindless and cringy. During the action you end up internally saying "Yeah right, like that would happen" because what you see is something ridiculous happening in a dead serious all be it bad movie.

The twist of who done it and why that happens is so stupid and face palming bad, I laughed out loud.
