PLOT                 

                                         As the world faces various catastrophe in different forms, it will be a huge task for only a single nation to face it. So, a group of 17 countries forms a satellite chain known as Dutch boy to control the weather, as a result it prevents the world from all hazards. Jake is the scientists behind this great achievement, but later he is put out of the power by the international commitie for punching a bodyguard in his face and for acting without authorization. So, his brother Max got the opportunity to lead the international team behind Dutch boy. This also pays a huge gap between the relation of Max and Jake. Three years later, these satellites turn against their own creators lashing a series of disasters in different parts of the world. So, the committee again recalls Jake to investigate the reason behind the anomaly. This time both must keep their personal emotions aside to find is it a natural cause or a fabricated cause that results in the un expected behavior of satellites, thereby protecting the world. 

                                            Geostorm is the first feature directorial debut of Dean Devlin. He had collaborated with Roland Emmerich on 2012 (2009), Universal Soldier (1992) and Stargate (1994), as a result Emmerich’s  influences can be seen on different scenes, even this movie was also considered as a reboot of The Noah’s Ark Principle (1984), a science fiction movie of Emmerich about weather controlling satellites before its release.   There are many disaster movies in Hollywood, but most of them deals with natural disasters only, but in this it deals with natural disasters in more scientific way, where man made satellites are controlling the weather. Fortune is still not favoring Gerad Butler, even tough both the movie and his performance were good, but it still didn’t make an impact in the box-office.  The movie first started production under the Paramount pictures but later moved to Warner Brothers, it had been reshooted after poor reception from the test screening. But still that doesn’t help the movie to perform well in Box-office. There is no much wow factor in this movie, it can be an another passing time movie for everyone.
