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.

Mark Kermode

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

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.

Chicago Reader

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.

Coming back to the movie Geostorm in 2025, i can safely say that this movie was incredible. for only being 1:30 total run time, this movie touched in all the aspects that a short film should. IF youre going to criticize story development, character development, VFX, etc, then you are overlooking the main part of this. this is a story that was really well executed and as directors tend to do when telling stories, overlook the factual, data, the "what is real" and LEANS into the FICTION to capture the audience's attention for SCIFI and space travel and space related filming. sure more developed films like GREENLAND, but they do not compare to the disaster VFX we get in Geostorm which makes Georstorm a very good action/thriller/scifi film that will have you on the edge of your seat, sitting up multiple times to engage more deeply with the movie. stop believing all the biased "reviewers" that watch movies with a closed mind. remember, movies are stories, not all stories are factual OR accurate. Remember what Neil Degrasse Tyson said "Fiction has value, whether or not its true, because there are lessons to be learned."

I just wasn't compelled by this film. There were a couple scenes that had me hooked, but those were few and far between. Geostorm offers bland, forgettable characters, and poor dialog. On the bright side, the mystery around what or who were responsible for the weather alteration system issues, was at times interesting. Overall though, I think this one is ok to pass if you're skeptical. I certainly won't be coming back to it anytime soon.

A great heartwarming movie. It was a joy to watch with a good plot & good acting. This movie does not deserve the low rating it received.

Eckley -

This might be the worst movie I've ever seen. It's almost two hours of outrageously terrible dialogue stringing together the exact heap of clichés you know to expect at every beat. I am deeply embarrassed for the actors, several of whom I've seen turn out decent performances elsewhere. This movie makes me want to hurt the people who wrote, directed, and produced it. Cheesy cornball garbage. Just preposterously bad.

This was really bad. I couldn't even get through to the end. I tried watching it twice. I don't even know if it "could" have been a good movie because everything about it was so bad. I really like Gerard Butler movies but this one should be skipped.

This movie might have had potential to be really unique and substantive, but it just gets more and more absurd as it progresses. A lot of special effects and high tech space apparatus, but a really low tech plot.
