Geostorm (2017): ⭐️⭐️⭐️: This is a “big dumb disaster movie” three star rating, not a “serious cinematic work” three star rating. Starts off with a scenario that now seems sadly ridiculously optimistic (faced with disastrous climate change, the nations of the world actually work together to do something about it), and then gets progressively more ridiculous as it goes. But then, you don’t exactly go into a Dean Devlin disaster movie expecting serious consideration of highbrow topics, you go in to see shit get blown up real good. And on that level, it’ll do.
