There may as well have been a great big red flag attached to GeoStorm informing everyone to expect the worst from it, given how assured every critic seemed to be that it was going to suck.

For the less cynical, it looked like there could be some potential for a So Bad It's Great goof-fest taking in old-school disaster movie tropes and several slices of self-conscious ham. But there was a reason why its original release date was canned and Warner Bros demanded $15m in reshoots - and it's simply incredibly that THIS was what emerged after all of that tinkering.

The film aims to be epic, but is just too sober and too lacking in the necessary camp factor to really manage anything other than disappointment. And sadly, it doesn't have any kind of sense of humour about itself, which is really fatal.
