Geostorm

If you take this movie for what it is, an action / science fiction movie with emphasis on fiction, then it is, in my opinion, actually not too bad.

The movie starts of with the usual suspects, a bunch of political asswipes setting off to create their, equally usual, clusterfuck firing the one competent person they actually needed to run the climate control project successfully. To make matters worse the entire project are about to be turned over to the international community which of course is a well known recipe for disaster.

So cheesy it's good!

Very disappointing indeed. Problem for me was that you see the trailer, you see the cover art, and as the filmmakers intended, you think it's going to be big budget, CGI, disaster film. You'd be wring. Most of that - apart from small scenes sprinkled into the movie maybe 2x - is the last 20 mins! The rest of the movie is dull, dull, dull politics and intrigue and techie crap. For me to not miss relevant scenes or dialogue whilst daydreaming during the boring mire of good actors in bad parts, THAT was a challenge in and of itself.
