Good disaster movie, for me it is unusual that the disaster was overcome and it is necessary to maintain the satellite shield. I do not understand why such a low score

Bence ortalama bir filmdi. Bu tarz filmleri pek sevmem ama bu biraz hoşuma gitti...

Fun if you're drunk. The spectacle is good even if it doesn't make any sense. Characters have a habit of narrating what they're doing. And the film is a naive shill for globalism.

I found the scenario with the weather control and the abuse of the system very interesting. I think the story also had the potential for a multi-part series. 99% of the scenes are shot in the studio, so the quality suffers a bit.

Really don't get the low scores critic or low users scores? Entertaining enough over the top mad science disaster movie with political shenanigans. Some of the eco warrior message stuff maybe laid on a bit to thick, but the actors general performances and overall story was fine. Some really cool looking special effects considering this wasn't a big budget movie and all that. Yeah I could easy rewatch this one for sure.

It's dumb and all over the top but it's fun if you don't take it seriously.

nie oglądajcie nie warto.. czysta strata czasu... niby dobra obsada.. rezyser który maczał palce przy wielkich produkcjach... no ale cos im nie wyszło,a w zasadzie wszystko

it’s a great movie if ur in the mood for a cheesy stereotypical disaster movie, but if u arent in that mood it’s a huge skip.

Interesting premise with a fine cast but poorly executed. This film was pretty much Armageddon and The Day After Tomorrow with made-for-TV special effects and overly complicated storytelling making it not nearly as fun or thrilling as the two. I like Day After Tomorrow and if you don't, kindly **** off.

Excelente película, mantiene la acción y el suspenso en todo momento. Es una película para ver y pasarla bien cuando uno está aburrido. Volvería a verla!

Esta es una película tan tonta e inconsistente... No podes tomarte nada en serio y esta llena de huecos argumentales. La película no sabe si ser de comedia o ser seria y la historia en si es lamentable, sin nada interesante y forzadisima. Ademas de ser una mala copia de muchas otras películas de desastre y espaciales, pero mucho, mucho peor... Situaciones super exageradas y ademas de nunca explicar porque todos los climas alocados inician. Siendo cliché, aburrida, predecible y tediosa de ver, es sin duda alguna una de las peores películas que jamas he visto, y no la recomiendo para nada.

What A Joke Geostorm is a boring, horribly written, stupid, has lacklustre visuals, and over the top acting to make it a poor man’s The Day After Tomorrow.

Voici Léonidas qui nous fait voir sa belle gueule de guerrier... quoique... pas trop en fait puisqu'il ne montre pas assez les dents mais il lui reste une sacrée grande gueule quand même puisqu'il énerve tout le monde dans le film, y compris les spectateurs ! sacré Butler va, ce que tu peux être buté ! En tout cas, il sait tout et il connaît tout et c'est pour ça qu'il sauve le putain de monde, t'as compris ? l'autre tronche de cake avec ses yeux en billes de loto n'était pas dispo (à savoir Connard Johnson qui récure tout de la cuve au grenier etc...) et je crois qu'on y gagne un peu au change. Un petit peu quand même. Sinon bah j'aimerais me montrer magnanime, au moins pour les beaux effets spéciaux et les (quelques) séquences spectaculaires (trop rares)... mais la connerie ambiante du machin crève tous les plafonds alors que l'ensemble reste en même temps d'une mollesse vraiment désagréable... Ce sera donc le minimum attribué, eu égard à la loi sur les minima sociaux concernant les daubes à gros budget...

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. Worst big budget disaster movie to date, Sharknado of the big screen !

An honest-to-God chore to watch from start to finish, "Geostorm" is basically a modern SNL (because it's not even laugh-inducing) digital short/parody of a Roland Emmerich picture that hasn't come out yet. It's every big, dumb action and disaster movie trope you've ever seen, played out so shamelessly that they might as well have hosted "quote-a-long" screenings of the film upon release, complete with a little animated ball bouncing atop every recycled word, phrase and one-liner vomited out by the actors. What starts out boring, quickly descends into ridiculum, throwing quasi-scientific blather at your head with the expectation that you'll eat it up like someone who has no basic understanding of how space, physics, or weather works. It's real bad. Honestly not sure what I expected with this one, though.

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.

This is the worst movie i have ever seen. It’s so bad it actually pissed me off. How dare they do this to king leonidas

Geostorm is a underrated movie. The movie has a great storyline and has a tense ending and this is a movie about why we shouldn't control the weather as people can hack into it. Also the movie has great visuals. I liked it geostorm was a fun movie to watch.

GEOSTORM 2012, Le Jour d'après... Quand le style ne trompe pas, on se demande où est Roland Emmerich? Ne cherché pas la patte de Roland Emmerich est partout, mais il n'est pas dans le générique... Le but est de réparer une station qui gère la météo et pour dire vrai tout va plus loin que le jour d'après.. Mais ça va moins loin qu'un 2012. En tant qu'admirateur de se genre de film #FinDuMonde il ne ma pas déçue et je l'est trouver beaucoup mieux qu'Independance Day 2! Pourquoi ? Geostorm filme les personnes qui subissent avant de filmer la planète! Cette valeur d'échelle qui revient aux origines me plait tout simplement parce qu’on'a plus d'émotion à voir des gens qu'à voir une planète surtout quand on aime la science-fiction. Un entre-deux qui me fait plaisir! Les effets spéciaux sont très beaux à part une partit de la fumé... Les musiques sont oubliables... Un film fun! Allé le voir sans cerveau... car inutile de creusé loin pour trouvé la faille!

This felt like a reboot of 50 movies combined, and while the basics of the plot is fresh and new, every single thing that builds up the plot and story is reused. Honestly don't know how Gerard Butler got to such a low profile movie, but despite his (or his agent's) choice he does a great job at delivering his character, I think that it fit him perfectly. The directors style in cinematography was just the usual stuff, nothing new. Despite the two protagonists the rest of the characters writing was painfully average, and the script was cliche. The visual looked very weird in some instances when it was CGI, because of the poor way it was generated. The pacing issue is present here as well, although it can keep the audience engaged the whole way through the movie. The plot is simple, and the base of it was recycled so many times that is painful in movie since we learned about global warming. This is the message as well of the movie, but there are just so many that deliver the message in a better fashion. The movie although it was entertaining for most of the part, it wasn't as much fun to watch it. Overall it's a slightly below average, because of the fact that this is nothing new and does every single mistake an average movie does, plus some other elements lack as well.

"Geostorm" is possibly the WORST, most implausible, ridiculous movie ever. Nothing about it is good. Worst script ever. I am befuddled that it didn't do straight to DVD, and bargain bin at that. If I had seen it in the theater I would have demanded my money back. They should have put sharks in the storms and camped it up so at least it could have been humorous and entertaining.

Even by the remarkably low standards of American movies, this is an extraordinarily stupid movie. In fact, there is stiff competition for the film's internal stupidity award. At first you think that the ludicrous "science" the movie seems to take seriously will run away with the win. But then you notice the atrocious "acting" and hammy dialog, and the race is back on. But to the astute viewer a dark horse should appear at some point in the appallingly inaccurate portrayal of American politics and the kind of swine who are now the only ones who could possibly become American presidents. If we're lucky he's a mindless party hack. If not, a crazed ideologue bent on world war. But, lo and behold and extreme sphincter contracting shock, the president is a hero in Geostorm. Who would have thunk it? Hollywood never does that angle to death, right? But this is not all, lest you are still not convinced. Cars explode as if they are not just loaded with explosives but actually built from them. Pompous music blares loudly over everything, because otherwise us poor peasants wouldn't know how to feel about things, there is a tacked on family intrigue as if people who build space stations and work in governments are real people instead of soulless sociopaths. There is even an unrealistic ninja woman, exactly like in The Matrix, except not good. And guns have unlimited ammunition. Hooray! And sprinkled on top are all the movie cliches in the world, from the main characters appear to die but are "surprisingly" hiding off camera to surprise the villain cliche to the blase banter that all Hollywood couples for some reason engage in, but which never actually happens in the real world cliche. And everything in between obviously: Door stops bullets cliche, the patriotic self sacrifice cliche, heroic president cliche as I mentioned, driving backwards while shooting a handgun at a pursuing vehicle cliche, speaking in code to fool the evildoers cliche, etc, etc ,etc. Trust me, it's jam packed with all the cliches you could possibly think of. I gave up counting due to extreme lack of interest at around 40. And they are not subtle either. They are completely over the top, with cue music for the dullards watching, as if things weren't already super obvious enough. GAAH! I'm sorry, but I'm burned out now. There are just so many idiotic things about Geostorm that I have a headache from trying to remember all of them. And not only that, but it is more globalist propaganda, evidently aimed at the lowest common denominator, to put it politely. The people who made this movie, whose names I refuse to remember, and for that matter anyone who takes any part of it seriously in any way, should be shot out into space themselves as a matter of public sanitation. If anyone recommends that you watch this movie, quickly empty the nearest available beverage over their heads and never speak to them again. I need a liedown.

SyFy should be jealous for such high budget and low production values on this exploit turkey, this is why it ended up on Netflix who apparently have infinite money for their turkey enterprise. This movie craps all over your junior high physics education, because it just doesn't care. Space will **** people out even there is no suction in space. Cars hit a slope and tilt, while the wheels won't swerve (which would immediately disappoint everyone expecting their rollercoaster ride, boo). People will spontaneously not combust, but freeze faster than it is possible on the Kelvin scale. Gerard Butler hits a new low point of his career which is around the third time he surpasses any expectations, while faceplanting steel and glass for a length of 50 meters while nothing happens to him or his suit made largely out of canvas. If you were a child, this movie would be the equivalent of your parents feeding you Rohypnol while making you watch Tom and Jerry movies at twice the speed. By the end of the movie, your parents would probably wish they had some Rohypnol too.

just forget about all the bullshît said on this page, this a good movie yall should go and watch it, I loved it .

Not only is not boring, besides it adds some awesome FX and half of the movie is set in space... do you want more? then watch Tar's "Satantango".

You can tell that this was made my Roland Emmerich's partner Dean Devlin because this has all The ridiculous signature traits of disaster drivel dismay that made Emmerich's career. The characters are mediocre at best with inane intent and idiotic dialogue. This weather as a weapon plot was a decent concept at first and then goes into a dumb direction that really isn't properly explained well. The disaster scenes are really the only semi entertaining aspect of the film just because it's on such a massive scale and it's actually done well for the most part. While this is still better than San Andreas or day after tomorrow slightly, it's still a very dull film overall.

While the plot is kinda stupid and the characters are uninteresting, Geostorm takes a person who is looking for a disaster movie into a ride with endless tsunamis, tornadoes and good CGI effects.

I really wanted to like the movie as the subject Geostorm is so interesting and how can anyone get it wrong? when I saw the rating being so bad I thought oh no, how bad could it be. Let's give it a chance and have low expectation...ohhhh my gosh, was worse than I thought. First I don't believe Gerard Butlers character at all, non sense dialog and Jim Asturias looks like a newbie on **** over acts and that is the directors fault, someone should have told him he is over doing the scenes. Acting was awwwful. Writing was even worse! How can so many good actors agree to such poor writing? CG was bad and cheap, it had a good story line but the poor dialog and bad acting just ruins the movie. I found so many loop holes that I just couldn't watch. Don't recommend unless you need something to fall asleep to on the couch.

This movie is one of the worst movies of all time. I got no feel from it. The feeling beforehand was that I was expecting a blockbuster in the same manner as Armageddon. Maybe they made this expecting people would go based on the title and they could make any sub standard movie with that title? Who could get a movie like this wrong? My movie group are now banned from seeing any other movies with these actors in it. Even the dog. Maybe not their fault but that's the way it is. A real wary of these movies wake up call.

Wasn't bad of a Disaster film but could have been a lot of better tho! Would kinda recommend

The story arc is a bit cliche, but the technology and effects were a cool way to kill some time.

this movie is NOTHING ABOUT A GEOSTORM it was worse than any movie i ever have watched.

When it comes to recent disaster flicks, "Geostorm" is better than San Andreas, but is no Into the Storm. It's combination of silly sci-fi elements and political thriller plot is what keeps the movie going when cities aren't being reduced to rubble by monstrous weather anomalies. It's predictable for sure and the destruction itself is brought to life by some visuals that are slightly below par (the lightning is outright laughable). Yet, even with it's dopey plotting there's still some suitable entertainment to be found in a turn your brain off sort of way. Outside **** plot hole the biggest issue with the story is the amount of clichéd family drama. The characters are of the cookie cutter variety and rather than focusing on the more effective form of emotional manipulation by delivering more moments between the main character and his daughter, Geostorm places it's emphasis on the sibling rivalry side of things. Some that is hindered greatly by Jim Sturgess' absolute twerp of a character. He is the definitive boogerhead little brother, complete with bad haircut. The dialog in this film is humorously bad at times. There are moments so stupid that you can't help but have fun with them. Part space adventure and part nature-fueled destruction fest, Geostorm can provide a good time if you can appreciate some cinema trash. It's a Gerard Butler movie for crying out loud. If you were expecting anything more than a dumb popcorn flick then you're an idiot. Only not the kind that will be able to appreciate Geostorm's surprisingly fun combination of the familiar and the ridiculous with a dash of good intentions that's all delivered with a straight face when it needs to be, but has no problem showing off it's silly side (like it had a choice).

I think the problem with this movie and these types, in general, is that they all just feel like carbon copies of the same movie. I feel like if this came out in 1990, it might have fared better. I honestly don't remember hardly anything from it, global disaster, stop disaster, yay credit roll. Its not terrible, its just sooo mediocre it hurts.

Very mediocre movie which is selected only with special effects. Very much reminds the movie 2012, only without sense and a plot. From most important - the main avtogonist is allocated from all heroes at once, and the screenwriter disclosure brings him as a subject twist. It is better to look 2012 once again, than it

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Dumb, Dumb, Dumb, mixed with very small moments of fun. As the world collapses around these people they go on about their regular day, not to mention the absurd dialogue. There are just too many of those ridiculous dumb moments to recommend. D+

I don't know about the others but I just simply loved this movie. It's not about chasing each other's family member to be safe, the idea of having all the nations work together just melted my heart. Ugh it's just too good for me.

1 point for the FX. The rest of the movie was baaad. The actors probably participated just for making their monthly rent and the director seemed equally bored. My big question is: Who wrote these dialogues ??

This was the more predictable movie I have ever seen. You basically know how is going to end after the first minutes. Totally disappointed

Hollywood strikes again with a yet another politically correct women-empowering cringefest.

how did you do that.. Geostorm Fixating on the inner politics i.e. behind the stage was a wise choice rather than wasting the time with the vfx explosion which still doesn't mean that it's a promising movie as it contains lots of flaws and a poor writer.

Geostorm is a very bland movie. Strangely I though the acting was decent, even if unequal at times. The problem is the story. Even when you do scifi, you have to link it to a sens of reality, and Geostorm is too far out there and is filled with plot holes. The best part is the romance between some characters. Other then that, you don't feel any emotions, thrills or anything at **** Fx are either spectacular or just ok. One Tokyo scene where all the buildings falls like dominoes was just too ridiculous. There is a computer code side to this and it's not very well exploited, only on the surface when I think it was a capital element. Geostorm is the kind of movie that dum down everything, and after a while it's just an insult to the intelligence of the watcher. I give it a 35% because some effects and acting were ok.

This movie is disaster. No sense at all... I lost 2 hours of my life because in the biggest movies service in Poland this crap has 5,6/10.

No matter how fine their taste, I believe that anybody can enjoy an occasional B-movie now and then. The opinions differ only on what makes a good one. The president of the USA, far-reaching conspiracy, the world in danger, a few good (wo)men doing what is right, impending big disaster – if these keywords fit your cup of B, then „Geostorm“ may have what it takes to entertain you for 109 minutes and leave a good aftertaste. When the network of satellites designed to control the global climate starts to attack the planet instead, it's a race against the clock to uncover the real threat before a worldwide geostorm wipes out everything and everyone. Most of the story actually takes place in space, so considerable part of the visual effects budget has been spent to show us the International Space Station, satellites and the big cold void that we like to call the universe. And after having your fill of „cosmos porn“, there are big natural disaster scenes to fall back on. The disasters dominate the promoting materials but are actually in minority, and mostly mercifully short. They look awesome but are not essential to the story and thus tend to even somewhat disrupt the general atmosphere and flow. Especially near finale, which is mercifully short too. Because good entertainment should always know when to end and not stretch over two hours or something. Starring Gerard Butler – the unsung hero and go-to guy to any self-respecting B- or generic movie – who is joined by a surprisingly large and impressive cast including Jim Sturgess, Abbie Cornish, Talitha Eliana Bateman, Adepero Oduye, Ed Harris, Andy Garcia, Alexandra Maria Lara, Daniel Wu, Eugenio Derbez, and Amr Waked. It’s also worth noting that almost all major female characters are written as strong individuals and don’t rely on their looks (although they do look good of course). This approach is something that freshens and updates the general vibe reminiscent of the big dumb 1990’s movie that the director and co-writer Dean Devlin became really famous for originally, meaning „Independence Day“. Back then, of course, he was just a writer and co-creator with Roland Emmerich, here he debuts as director too. But cool actors, strong female characters and even big-budget special effects will only get you so far, when the movie is lacking the most essential of elements: heart. And „Geostorm“ has a lot of heart, which is the main reason I liked and enjoyed it so much – in spite of its weak storytelling where things mainly happen because they are ought to, not develop naturally. It’s a minor miracle that despite all the unrealistic-ness and cheesiness of the story – it's a B-movie, after all – the actors are so spot on, full of heart and conviction that you just have to buy all this what’s happening on screen. This is probably thanks to Devlin’s brilliance at putting together this kind of big cheesy thing. It was about time he started directing too! Leading star Gerard Butler, in some movies just a poor man’s Aaron Eckhart, is in especially good form, a shining example of how to breathe life into otherwise generic material, and grab us along with the ride. If you think that spouting all these silly lines and making it feel believable must be easy, as it seems for him, then you should try acting for youself. In a way, his charismatic work here feels as much an achievement as Matthew McConaughey’s in „Interstellar“ which is actually not the weirdest association if one was to compare the central themes of the two movies. But if this comparision seems too out-there, there are also parallels with many apocalyptic blockbusters from „Armageddon“ to „The Day After Tomorrow“. So… I liked it. „Geostorm“ is certainly cheesy, but it does what it does really well. Go catch this!

If you enjoy disaster movies such as Armageddon, 2012 and The day after tomorrow, then you´ll have a blast. If you prefer movies like Shakespeare in Love, Pi, or more hipster-pseudointelectual stuff, then stay away. Great Movie if you want to have a carefree fun filled 2 hours of nonsense sci-fi indulgence. Yes, acting is somewhat over the top, the fx are kind of cheap, but you´ll have fun watching this flick.
