And when I say good, I don't mean like excellent. But it's good, you should not be offended by it. I never watched this in the cinema, where I guess the movie might have impacted some people more than others. I don't even want to go near a comparisson with Jurassic Park (way better handled overall as a movie),but when it comes to story vs. technical achievements, there are similarities ... also when it comes to what you consider to help like a movie more or less.
Butler is doing his thing and everyone else tries their best, but there is not much there. Some technical talk that may or may not make sense (I didn't really pay attention),with just a smudge of social commentary (climate change and all that) ... the main point is the movie tries to entertain and achieves that to a certain degree. Not quality time, but if you're into it ...

CGI good, movie not so good
Can some natural disaster deal with the people who make these movies?
Dean Devlin produced the likes of "Independence Day" and "Godzilla", so his directorial debut is a similar movie. "Geostorm" wants to see itself as an environmental movie, but it's the sort of flick that belongs on "Mystery Science Theater 3000". Indeed, the YouTube series CinemaSins points out everything wrong with it. Just avoid it.
It's not that bad
Wow, the critics went to town on this film didn't they.
Although this film wasn't close to perfect, it doesn't deserve such a low score.
My main negative critique was that the writing/screenplay was a little sloppy, although still very entertaining.
But either than that, the performances were decent, the cinematography/sfx well done and the directing was good.
An enjoyable film that I would see again maybe one more time, and certainly not deserving of such a low score.
