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.

A series of disasters are caused by (insert explanation that makes the least amount of sense). Add in some characters with convoluted back stories, then populated the film with an unnecessary amount of these then turn some of these into a code. Hey presto, the dumbest game of cluedo.

I love a good disaster movie, but this is just so over the top and actually quiet boring to watch. Some of the acting is just so over the top and do we still do movies where the world is saved by a few seconds?! Leave that to a 1980's James Bond film!

Fast start and doesn't slow down. It's a disaster movie, so you know what to expect. Good character drama between main characters and some mystery regarding the 'what's behind it all' plot. Plenty of special effects and space sequences. If you fancy a popcorn drama, go with it: just check your brain in at the airlock first.

It has been said that this is the best doomsday/apocalypse movie. It does have the benefit of being one of the most recent, so the effects and cinematography are sharper. The story is a solid enough concept, with a lot of intriguing elements to it. The deception and drama of the story give a lot, keeping you entertained as you watch. It doesn't seem to have the rewatch appeal that the likes of Twister, Dante's Peak, Deep Impact, and The Day After Tomorrow have

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Very disappointing, from the cover it looks like a big action end of the world disaster move. But really we spend most of our time in a boarding space ship or an office , questionable action and forgettable plot

Dreadful. Turned off after about 25 minutes… Butler was awful… very unconvincing.
