Geostorm: Gerard Butler vs. The Weather in this Disastrous Delight | Seattle Cinema Spotlight

Alright, film buffs, buckle up because we’re diving into *Geostorm*! Imagine this: Gerard Butler as Jake Lawson, a rugged and rebellious satellite designer, racing against time to stop the world from being pummeled by weaponized weather. Yes, you heard me right—climate-controlling satellites gone rogue! It’s like *Armageddon* meets *Twister*, but in a blender of CGI chaos.

The premise? Earth’s leaders create “Dutch Boy,” a high-tech satellite system to control extreme weather after natural disasters wreak havoc. But when this tech marvel malfunctions—or is it sabotage?—Jake teams up with his estranged brother Max, played by Jim Sturgess and his questionable haircut, to save the planet before a global “geostorm” wipes out humanity. Oh, and there’s space drama, power-hungry villains (hello, Ed Harris), and enough plot twists to make your head spin faster than a hurricane.

Now, let’s talk spectacle. The film throws Tokyo-sized hail, frigid Rio beaches, and Dubai skyscrapers collapsing under tornadoes straight at you. But while the CGI is ambitious, it often feels more disaster than dazzling. And the family drama between Jake and Max? It’s as forced as the movie’s attempts at emotional depth. Watching them “hug it out” feels like padding between the explosions.

At its core, *Geostorm* is a chaotic cocktail of science fiction, disaster tropes, and geopolitical intrigue. It’s utterly ridiculous—but also kinda fun if you're in the mood for mindless mayhem. Just don’t come expecting substance or logic; this one’s all about destruction on an epic scale.

So, is it a storm worth chasing? If you love over-the-top disaster flicks, wave your popcorn in the air and go for it. Otherwise, you might want to seek shelter. In Reel Pixel's book, *Geostorm* is a gloriously messy cinematic storm, but hey, sometimes messy can still be entertaining!
