10 Movies That Were So Bad You Couldn't Even Get Angry

9. Geostorm

Rise Of Skywalker
Warner Bros.

If Geostorm gave you the impression that somebody had tried to recreate a Roland Emmerich movie from memory but all they remembered were the worst parts, then you'd be halfway right.

The environmental disaster flick marked the directorial debut of Dean Devlin, Emmerich's longtime collaborator for over two decades, and based on how things turned out it appears as though he learned absolutely nothing about filmmaking from their time working together. In fact, after a poor test screening Devlin was even kicked out of the director's chair altogether in favor of Danny Cannon, and that's really saying something if the studio have more faith in the guy behind Judge Dredd to finish your movie than you do.

Casting Gerard Butler as a guy who designs satellites for a living and used to command an international space station really pushes the suspension of disbelief, and the leading man gives his usual grunting performance alongside a supporting cast that appear to thinking only of their paychecks, with the majority of them looking almost as bored as the audience.

Geostorm is almost impressive in how it takes the topical subject matter of rapid climate change, welds it to a $120 million effects-heavy blockbuster, and yet has absolutely nothing to say about anything from either a narrative or visual perspective.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
