A network of satellites has been set up around the Earth to prevent catastrophic storms. Someone has put a virus into it that causes storms instead of preventing them. The man who was in charge of building the network and his brother work to find the culprit and fix the problem.
Pretty standard and stereotypical. The 209.9 million dollar box office revenue speaks for that. Clocking in at an hour 41, the extremely fast pacing made it seem like less time. The plot was like every other disaster film I have ever seen, just 100% cliche. Characters were pretty much the same. The main character was the "loose cannon" and there were no comedic relief characters. The dialogue seemed like it was copied and pasted from other disaster films, but the acting was convincing. Sets, costumes, locations and special effects looked like 120 million dollars worth of budget to me. The space sets and the storms all looked professional. Camera-work was mostly made up of quick editing cuts. Even conversations between two characters switched back and forth like a tennis match. In audio, I could hear all of the dialogue and the soundtrack included the standard "epic" disaster film music. Other critics give this a failing grade and I agree with them completely. My main disappointment was that there was no CG "Geostorm" in the climax. I rate this bad for being stereotypical, cliche and disappointing. Don't watch it!
