I Watch Films: Geostorm

Geostorm is poorly named. Surely a geo-storm would be a big earthquake? Globalstorm or Worldstorm would be better names.

Anyway, after various weather related disasters two brothers build a space based weather control system. One of them is fired so they don’t talk any more. Then it goes wrong and one brother has to send the other brother into space to fix it, while staying on earth (“geo-“) and navigating an even more treacherous environment – politics. Because it’s a conspiracy.

This is not a good film, but it is fun, and when it gets moving there are some entertaining disasters. The orbital mechanics are bad though. I’m just saying.

Watch This: For a loud film in which Gerard Butler fights the weather.
Don’t Watch This: If you don’t want a silly loud film.
