Criticism of Geostorm

Geostorm It is the clear example that the use of special effects and apocalyptic scenes are not a guarantee of anything. The specialized press destroyed the film of Dean devlin, after ensuring that several of the pitfalls of this production reside in a faulty script contaminated with numerous clichés.

This is what Peter Sobczynski wrote for Rogerebert.com:

“… The movie is actually a completely idiotic and often boring amalgamation of the type The Day After Tomorrow, San Andreas and Gravity (…) it does not function as either an impressive show or as cheesy garbage (…) God knows how many millions of were invested dollars and man-hours to make and remake Geostorm, but it turns out it was all for naught, "he said.

John DeFore has a similar opinion in his review of The Hollywood Reporter:

"Big, all, and boring, it shows the Independence Day co-writer trying to start a career as a director using the same instruction book, but forgetting about various rules of the game," he noted.

Christopher Rosen at the same time has strong comments against Devlin's bet in his comments for Weekly entertainment:

"The director feels like a chore, where learning about how the roller coaster was made represents most of the journey (…) Geostorm is a bunch of supposedly connected scenes that don't even seem to know each other and were maybe filmed years apart." , he pointed.
