The only reason I would give this movie a C- is because the production values are decent; otherwise this movie falls flat in every respect.
The acting is forgettable. It’s hard to completely fault the actors, because the script they had to work with just doesn’t have any zing to it.
The plot was ridiculous. I guess the only good thing to say about the plot is that it’s easy to follow. But then again, why bother with a plot at all? This movie is the *Sharknado* of weather movies, but it tries to come off as something plausible, which is an insult to anyone with a brain.

As for the CGI: that was really good. There just wasn’t enough of it. If you saw the trailer for this movie then you got all the best parts.
Okay, now I’m going to be a little nit picky here. I understand that most science fiction films require at least a little bit of a suspension of disbelief. For instance, there’s no way to freeze an ocean wave just as it breaks, because, you know, ocean water is salty and so it doesn’t work that way. But whatever; it looks cool, so let’s go with it. What really annoys me is when they do stupid things that they don’t need to. Right in the beginning of the movie we see our main character in a space shuttle. At one point he unbuckles his seat belt and floats up to the window to look at the space station. The only problem is we can hear, and see, that the shuttle engines are still firing. So, the shuttle would be accelerating, and therefore he wouldn’t be able to float. He would still be pressed back into his seat. That sort of mistake is tiny, but it’s like making a grammatical error on your resume. Common, it’s really simple: get the basic stuff right.
*Geostorm* is a low-rent *Armageddon* without the humor, and *Deep Impact* without any impact. Wait for the DVD on this one.

about the RunPee app.
Movie Watching Must Have!!
I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!
