17 Biggest Guilty Pleasure Movies Of 2017
5. Geostorm
You know what you're getting with a movie called Geostorm, and to that end, it certainly didn't disappoint.
If you take Armageddon and put it in a blender with The Day After Tomorrow, you get this hilariously preposterous sci-fi disaster flick, which leaves no genre cliche untouched.
There's the down-on-his-luck genius protagonist with a daughter he continually disappoints, a peculiar political subplot nobody asked for, random scenes of international destruction to appeal to a worldwide audience, cameos by respected actors seeking a quick paycheck (Ed Harris!), and of course, a giant countdown timer.
It's a gloriously stupid movie that fully commits to its daft premise and is highly enjoyable as a result. Where else can you see Ed Harris, as the U.S. Secretary of State, firing a rocket launcher at a cab?
