  Ok , yeah, its all pretty hokum but have gotta say, it turned out to be pretty entertaining popcorn fodder hokum if nothing else. The film im refering to i watched with the fam the other day. The film in question is called 'Geostorm'. Starring Gerrard Butler and directed by Dean Devlin, the film is a global scale disaster film this time that tells of following a series of natural disasters, man invents a hi tech method of combatting such disasters..and naturally things wind up going pear shaped meaning a race against time before things get so much worse than before. Ok, this aint gonna win any awards, the lines and the acting are cheesy as but, as far as popcorn fodder, trying to put i slightly different spin on the whole climate disaster thing, with some fantastic effects, big set pieces and whilst forgettable but still solid enough performances, could certainly watch a heck of a lot worse.

  i had very high expectations for this movie, 2012 2.0 i hope it turns out to be, because i like 2012 alot but it could of been alot better and geo storm looks like the best disaster movie judging by the trailers, cant wait to see this on my 4k tv good post

  Whoah, slow your horses there Dony my friend. This is by no means a classic and there have been far superior disaster films, even of a simaler ilk, released over the years..but thats not to say that this isnt still good and a lot of fun. There are some big disaster themed set pieces, but,, that said, was kinda hoping for more of them. The investigation aspect of the film does take up the lions share of the film with the actual big disaster set peces taking a back seat (they are pretty impressive when they do happen though). Am confident you will enjoy it, just a shame that it bombed at the box office.

  You know waht Dony, i honesttly couldnt name a firm favourite disaster film off the top of my head. I find that, for the most part whilst i enjoy a good disaster film, i find them largely unmemorable ..a case of can recall the film, can recall who stars in the film but can rarely recall the specific disaster events other than those truly iconic ones (ie: the destruction of the Empire State building in 'Independence Day' for example). Will have to have a think on this one.
