A J Disaster films are among some of the most intriguing pieces of media, mainly for the plot and concepts which they bring to the table. The 2017 film Geostorm is no different. The movie is centered around a top scientist who has developed a network of special satellites which help to regulate the weather across the planet, later tasked with thwarting an attempted sabotage and destruction of the system which would plunge the planet into an apocalypse of extreme weather events. As with most disaster films, just because they are intriguing does not necessarily mean they are very well-made. This was a decently-written and acted film. As someone who studies meteorology, there were some moments which I did not understand and was confused about, for example how a massive superfreeze enveloped Rio De Janeiro out of nowhere, and caused a plane to fall almost vertically out of the sky. Where did this random blast of extremely cold air come from? Another example would be how tornadoes randomly form out of thin air in India and devastate a city. While this is a Sci-Fi film with a heavy emphasis on the “Fi” (fiction) portion, this is not at all possible and makes no sense. However, these apocalyptic weather events featured in the film do bring out a laugh or two based on their absurdity. There were some moments I thought were very well-done. For example, the movie taught us that banding together to find and develop a solution to a problem is very beneficial, but greed could always be a possible motivator, such as in this case. There were also some emotional moments which I thought were well-acted, especially towards the end of the film. In summary, while it must be acknowledged that this movie is complete fiction, the student in me spent the entire movie questioning how and why certain events that make zero sense happened. However, the movie is still a solid watch for entertainment and possibly a laugh or two.

There is some humour which keeps the film entertaining and the technology is cool. Don’t worry about the science, just enjoy the film for what it is. Or just enjoy the film for Jim Sturgess!

Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/27/24 Full Review Andrew H 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. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Andrew B 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!
