The Moment: The climate-controlling satellites used to moderate global weather malfunction, releasing pods to Earth which create tornadoes, tsunamis, great fires, thunderstorms, hail storms and big freezes.

Why It Will Define 2017: Geostorm is likely to end up being one of the year's dumbest movies, but that doesn't mean it won't be a ton of fun too. From what's been shown off so far, the destruction porn looks epic and visually impressive, which is really all this movie really needs to do to succeed.

With a plot that wants to basically combine every single disaster movie into one endless assault on the audience, Geostorm could very well be the year's most satisfying serving of B-movie cheese, even if critics are unlikely to be kind to it.
