Although there were times I was mildly entertained, "Geostorm" is a dumb, corny, off the shelf disaster flick with predictable outcomes, a convoluted third act, and nothing to say about current climate affairs.

If you've seen one nearly end-of-the-world disaster movie, you've seen them all - except this one stars a sleep-walking Gerard Butler, who couldn't be less interested in his role. Sure, some of the weather effects are kind of cool, but the science behind them is wonky as hell - plus, way to absolutely waste Daniel Wu in a throwaway role. There has to be a better way to address climate change, right?

Dean Devlin makes his directorial debut with the relentlessly mediocre disaster flick GEOSTORM. It is simply a Frankenstein's monster created from the worst impulses of his frequent collaborator Roland Emmerich (ID4, 2012, Stargate). Gerard Butler playing the material absolutely straight is admirable as in his other CGI stinker GODS OF EGYPT. Speaking of which, the visual effects are wildly inconsistent. Some shots look decent while others look the level of a television movie. Given that Dean Devlin had worked a lot in television, perhaps that's not surprising.
