Am hardly biased in any way against disaster films (there are some good entertaining ones out there), but judging from the dreadful advertising and negative critical reception expectations for 'Geostorm' were low. Still saw 'Geostorm', having liked some previous work of Gerard Butler, Andy Garcia and Ed Harris.

Watching it giving it a fair chance, 'Geostorm' is not as dreadful as the misleading advertising made it look and it is nowhere near as bad as the worst of the SyFy/The Asylum disaster films. Then again, pretty much anything is better than films that are in a league of their own when it comes to incompetent quality, and putting 'Geostorm' on the same level of them would be insulting. 'Geostorm' has many problems, but at least it looked as if effort was put into it regardless of the generally muddled execution. Actually agree with most of the criticisms, other than finding that the visuals were better than has been given credit by the general consensus on Rotten Tomatoes.

Starting with the good things, 'Geostorm' looks good. The special effects, although overused, are great and it was clear they were where most of the budget went. The Dubai tsunami is a standout. A couple of sequences are thrilling, again a standout is the Dubai standout and another is the Hong Kong explosions. The film is slick in photography and editing and the scenery is atmospherically and cleverly used.

The music is haunting and rousing without being over-bearing. Didn't think much of the acting overall, but the best and most professional performance comes from Ed Harris, giving a performance that is in keeping with the film's tone while also trying to make a believable character out of what he has. Abbie Cornish also does her best.

Gerard Butler however lacks his usual charisma and doesn't look comfortable. Jim Sturgess is also completely out of his comfort zone and looks embarrassed the whole time. Andy Garcia just looks like he couldn't be bothered. The dialogue is high in the cheese, cringe, cliché (not usually a bad thing but the film executes them badly) and stilted factors and can feel preachy, while Dean Devlin's direction is not a hack job but there is a real sense of inexperience and not being comfortable with the material.

Furthermore the story just doesn't thrill and in monotonous in pacing and how most of it is staged. The spectacle is there, but even for a film where one actually goes in expecting to shut their brains off at the door there is a lack of brains and suspense, in turn replaced by tedium and excessive ridiculousness. Story-wise, 'Geostorm' is completely bonkers and on top of the generally less-than-thrilling, derivative and mindless action (with exceptions) there are attempts at character development that fall flat due to doing little to develop it properly (the brother relationship amounts to very little).

As well as the heavy-handed and out-of-kilter political elements that just confuse the story tonally and an ending that feels completely at odds with the rest of the film. The preachiness of the ending also leaves a sour taste in the mouth.

Overall, looks good but underwhelming on the whole. 4/10 Bethany Cox
