Űrvihar

Rendkívül rossz és ostoba katasztrófafilm, amelyben semmi sem működik. Hiányzik belőle Emmerich éleslátása és empatikus munka karakterekkel, a tudományos párbeszédeknek és általában a cselekménynek egy fikarcnyi értelme sincs, az összeesküvő politikai cselekmény pedig nevetséges, ahogyan a természet képtelen elemei is (egy hideg szélvihar által generált megahullám megfagyaszt fürdőruhás embereket a trópusi Rio strandján? Mi van?). Régen volt már, hogy ilyen jó színészekkel teli filmet alig tudtam végig nézni. (2021.04.17)

I'm giving the film two totally subjective stars because it contained too many of my pet peeves. It was too multicultural, there was too much melodrama, American patriotism, too many moral lessons, and it reminded me too much of Independence Day. Plus, the whole time I felt like I was watching a film that was made in the 90s, only with updated special effects. At least the German woman didn't look like Angela... (2018.03.05)

Judging by the generic trailers, I didn't expect Geostorm to be decent entertainment after all, and given that it's a debut with I won't skimp the rating. Gerard Butler is great and does a decent job of talking throughout the film. There could have been more destruction but it was very good. Hong Kong was the longest and then a few smaller ones but each time in an interesting location (Moscow, Dubai, Mumbai, Florida). The storyline is different than I expected, so thumbs up for that too. I was not bored for a moment, satisfaction. I liked it more than Into the Storm.75% (2017.11.21)

This film doesn't take itself as seriously as I feared it would, but at the same time it's also not as much fun as it would have been if Roland Emmerich had made the film. It's an above-average film, and of course it's basically pretty silly, it's just that I didn't mind it at all. However, I have to fault what is almost the most important thing – the plan of the main villain that causes everything doesn't make a drop of sense, which is something that shouldn't happen to films like this.

More Emmerich than Emmerich himself, and just as dumb. No, actually not, this is far dumber. Emmerich takes his fairytales lightly, but this one is taken very seriously. Devlin didn't learn much from his buddy. That it was a fuckton of special effects? They don't impress anybody anymore. CGI effects are a standard today, not the privilege of a good film. Devlin was 20 years behind the times, and this dumbed-down mess deservedly flopped in theaters. (2018.01.30)
