Geostorm

After an unprecedented series of natural disasters threatened the planet, the world's leaders came together to create an intricate network of satellites to control the global climate and keep everyone safe. But now, something has gone wrong: the system built to protect Earth is attacking it, and it becomes a race against the clock to uncover the real threat before a worldwide geostorm wipes out everything and everyone along with it.

One of the more thoroughly panned films of its year, Geostorm was dismissed by nearly all critics as a spectacular misfire — too dull to work as a guilty pleasure and too incompetent to work as spectacle. The consistent complaint was that the disaster sequences, when they finally arrive, aren't impressive enough to compensate for stretches of leaden plot mechanics and underwritten characters. Audience reception was notably warmer than the critical response, suggesting the film found the undemanding crowd it was aimed at.
