10 Worst Disaster Movies Of All Time

The fact that an actual geostorm does not occur in Geostorm is surely the greatest metaphor for the film itself. Nothing happens very loudly.

Geostorm, of course, is the massive flop from long time Roland Emmerich collaborator (in the negative sense of the word, like the two are planning a devastating attack) Dean Devlin.

Not to be outdone by his colleague, Devlin makes sure Geostorm is packed with everything you’d expect in a Emmerich disaster film and more: it’s crap and somehow worse than all the other rubbish they’ve done. Nice work!

The plot is exactly what you'd expect. Gerard Butler's character Jake Lawson is a scientist (this isn't a joke) who created Dutch Boy, a satellite system that was designed to combat increasingly erratic weather patters. Now someone is hacking the system and Lawson has to get to the bottom of it before a geostorm occurs (there is no geostorm is this movie).

Everything about Geostorm is abysmal. The characters are unbelievable and forgettable, the dialogue is horrendous, and the effects are subpar. It truly is the apex of the Emmerich-style disaster film, in that it sucks more than all the other ones.

Avoid it like the plague.
