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.

It is the kind of film in which having a British accent will get you punched in the face, but the fact that Gerald Butler talks like Sean Connery in that weird sequence from The Untouchables? Nobody cares.

The script, every scene of which you've seen 100 times already, ends with a sermon urging us to unite and salvage the future, though this rings hollow coming at the end of a $120 million exercise in sci-fi denial.

... the level of boredom I experienced during Geostorm ought to qualify as at least a second-degree felony in the state of New York.

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.

It's full of plot holes and cringey moments, but this was still an incredibly fun and intriguing movie, with amazing visuals and awesome action sequences. I definitely recommend this for action, sci-fi, and disaster movie fans!

The plot has a serious flaw. The two brothers. The predictable conflict between two brothers ruins the otherwise interesting plot. We get to see the most boring and mundane exchanges between brothers while the world is in big trouble. No.. Too predictable. It ruins the movie. I am 3 quarters into the movie and it is getting worse. A saboteur who objected against his low wage compared to others??? Totally ridiculous. This movie is getting close to zero stars. The silly `plot is just an excuse to show as much of computer generated destruction as possible. That is really the only reason of existence of this despicable product. Just terrible.

What a godawful movie. To those of you who actually had a reputation as decent actors, tell everyone you were sick with some dread disease when you agreed to do this film.
