Review of Geostorm (2017) by Gábor D — 14 Nov 2018
This felt like a reboot of 50 movies combined, and while the basics of the plot is fresh and new, every single thing that builds up the plot and story is reused. Honestly don't know how Gerard Butler got to such a low profile movie, but despite his (or his agent's) choice he does a great job at delivering his character, I think that it fit him perfectly. The directors style in cinematography was just the usual stuff, nothing new. Despite the two protagonists the rest of the characters writing was painfully average, and the script was cliche. The visual looked very weird in some instances when it was CGI, because of the poor way it was generated. The pacing issue is present here as well, although it can keep the audience engaged the whole way through the movie. The plot is simple, and the base of it was recycled so many times that is painful in movie since we learned about global warming. This is the message as well of the movie, but there are just so many that deliver the message in a better fashion. The movie although it was entertaining for most of the part, it wasn't as much fun to watch it.
Overall it's a slightly below average, because of the fact that this is nothing new and does every single mistake an average movie does, plus some other elements lack as well.
