Geostorm Review: 2 Ups & 8 Downs

Ups...

2. It Doesn't Take Itself Remotely Seriously

It's pretty much impossible to complain that Geostorm takes itself too seriously. This is a thoroughly silly, dumb movie with almost zero grounding in reality, scientifically or merely in terms of how human beings actually behave.

It is packed full of absurd one-liners, cringe-worthy cliches, daft action and, again, is so nutty it plays like a parody of the disaster movie genre most of the time.

It is certainly ridiculous enough that it's hard to call it boring for the most part, and to that end if you're craving a so-bad-it's-good slice of brainless entertainment, you could definitely do much, much worse.

It's not as bad as The Snowman, for instance, which has been scoring similarly scathing reviews but is infinitely more tiresome and less enjoyable.
