Geostorm (2017)
Deeply average.
If you've seen any action film ever, you've seen Geostorm.
Gerard Butler plays an ant-establishmentarian with a heart of gold deep down (and a ropey American accent) who is the only person who can save the world when Dutch Boy, the sci-fi super satellite designed to stop the effects of global warming, starts going wrong. In essence, the same character he has in every other film he has appeared in. Except this time, in space.
It's an interesting premise that isn't played out to its full potential, but the film itself is non-offensive. The special effects are slightly questionable for a film that is, at time of writing, not even four years old, but if you can get over that then the rest of the film is fine. It's just incredibly formulaic - not necessarily to the point of boredom, but it's certainly not something I'm anchoring to watch again.
In all, this is a good film for background noise, or perhaps if you're looking for something which requires little to no thought. However, if you're looking for a thrills-a-minute, visionary action flick, I would maybe look elsewhere.
