15 Stupid Mistakes That Somehow Made It Into 2017 Movies

8. Gerard Butler's Time-Travelling Powers - Geostorm

In the third act of this ludicrous disaster epic, satellite designer Jake Lawson (Gerard Butler) realises that he needs to don a spacesuit and head out into space in order to prevent the Geostorm from taking place.

As Lawson prepares to suit up, a handy "Countdown to Geostorm" timer indicates just 2 minutes and 55 seconds remaining, and after Lawson puts on the spacesuit, hurtles through a hallway, fails to input a code, meets up with the ship's commander and we cut back to NASA HQ back on Earth, the timer then reads 1 minute and 40 seconds.

So, we're supposed to believe that in the span of just 45 seconds, Lawson did all that? Considering that it would take even a seasoned astronaut several minutes to put on the suit and get ready to enter space, let alone anything else, it's pretty far-fetched.

Sure, it's a time-honoured tradition that dumb disaster movies don't exactly adhere to logic where countdown timers are concerned, yet this was careless to the point that it verged on self-parody (much like the rest of the movie, in honesty).
