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]

Rated: 3/5

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.

Rated: 1/10

If you possess just a thread of intelligence you won't care too much for this disaster of a disaster film. I gave it 2 stars because the special effects were decent, and the acting was not that bad. It was the story writing that was just full of holes. You could get away with that kind of incoherent fiction back in the 1950's, 60's, 70's and 80's but not today.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

I sure hope Elon Musk never sees this movie 😜 I bit absurd, a little loose around the edges and as far as far fetched goes. But hey, it's a movie right? Good effort by all involved but lacking body around a bare bones story

If you were looking for Citizen Kane, you were in the wrong theater. This was just fine to wile away some time watching things blow up and the good guys saving the world from Ed Harris, who does a reliable bad guy. You critics can be so damn critical.

Not really good, terrible script and some cheesy special effects, is in the same field as 2012, San Andreas, etc. An extra star for Alexandra Maria Lara, though.

The effects are pretty cheesy, but I like the premise and overall it's decently written. Heck, I'd pick it over most of Roland Emerick's films.
