10 Big 2017 Movies Destined To Flop
6. Geostorm
Geostorm’s plot synopsis reads "As a man heads into space to prevent climate-controlling satellites from creating a storm of epic proportions, his brother discovers a plot to assassinate the president", all of which sounds incredible.
Gerard Butler will be one of the bros in question, and Geostorm’s impressive supporting cast includes Ed Harris, Abbie Cornish and Andy Garcia. Uber-producer Dean Devlin (Independence Day, Stargate) is making his directing debut with this one too. On the face of it, Geostorm feels like perfect guilty pleasure entertainment, but the ridiculous concept feels like something they should have been made in the late 1990’s.
It feels too outlandish in this day and age, and the fact Warner Bros is holding back on photos and trailers is slightly worrying. Butler could do with a hit outside of the ...Has Fallen series, but this might be another Gods Of Egypt-style mess for him.
