Review of Geostorm (2017) by Creeper3455 — 21 Oct 2017

Getting out of the theatre after watching something like 'Geostorm' made me feel ashamed for the 10 bucks I spent for my ticket. Now,this isn't,like,another The Emoji Movie,but it's DEFINITELY not something I would spend my 10 bucks (or 20 bucks in IMAX) on.

And,all honesty said here,i was actually excited for this movie,and now that I saw it,i can fairly say that 'Geostorm' is just another movie at the same level of the Transformers movies,where we wanted the action all over the flick,but we're just greeted with tons (and I mean TONS) of boring plot and subplot sequences.

The story may be bland,sure,but it gets lazy and lazy throughout the movie and SPOILER ALERT (or not),the action sequences in the movie are the action sequences that fill the trailer to fool you once again into spending money,with the first action sequence (1 minute and 40-something seconds) of action dropping after 20 minutes of movie.

I will only save the first minutes of the movie,since the beginning sequence is stylish with its story,and tells you about this somewhat interesting concept. During the story,expect some scenes that rip-off better movies,like Interstellar or Gravity (2013).

Usually in a good or bad action movie,the special effects are something I always tend to save,but in here it SURE does lack the feel of an actual computer-effect. For example,there's a scene a-la San Andreas where a flood is taking over San Francisco and its Golden Gate bridge,but when it gets into the bridge,it's not being destroyed by the flood like if the bridge is an indestructible bridge.

If 2012 (Roland Emmerich) scared the shoot out of me with its effects,i would laugh-out-loud with Geostorm's special effects. And what can I say about the acting? Well,let's say that Gerald Butler is just there because he needs a paycheck,as well as Ed Harris (?!?!?) and others.

The music (by The LEGO Batman Movie's Lorne Balfe) can get...well,"iffy" at times,even if it's tolerable nontheless. In the end,Geostorm is just as great as an actual end of the world internet hoax.

Don't expect some 2012 or Independence Day level of awesomness,because this movie is the opposite of what you'll expect. If you really want to watch a great Disaster movie,just watch the ones I mentioned,and don't spend your 10 dollars on this,please.
