![]() ![]() It is definitely not the best movie this year or ever but its up there with the good, entertaining ones I really enjoyed watching this year. This might be a turnoff for moviegoers who are expecting originality and it will most likely be so but for me, I got over it and had myself a good time in the cinema. The downside, I can still say that it seems a lot of it's contents were borrowed from/ inspired by previous natural disaster/sci-fi flicks such as Day After Tomorrow ( look at one of its posters for instance), Armageddon, and Gravity to name a few. The pathos really got me emotionally involved with what the characters are experiencing. There's the timeliness of its subject, there's definitely humor (which is funny but I thought they somehow overdid with some of the dialogue) but this one has also dramatic scenes that would touch you. LAST SEEN ALIVE:Will Spann (Butler) is driving his soon-to-be ex-wife, Lisa (Alexander), to her parents’ house when she mysteriously disappears at a gas stat. The movie follows bounty hunter Milo Boyd (Gerard Butler) who decides to track down his ex-wife, Nicole (Jennifer Aniston) for skipping bail. But I was surprised by how entertaining it is. Even Jennifer Aniston couldnt cover up for him. Going to see the movie, I wasn't expecting much for it because it seemed like a so-so movie that's probably been done before only re- released with a "semi different plot" under a different title. The setting in which the story takes place, you can say, parallels our own at the present in which we are experiencing technological advancements which perks we use to solve our crises but also create further dilemma as countries individually vie to be the world superpower. While people overcame this problem, another conflict arises when it becomes opportune to use the technology as a weapon for sole global domination. I also liked that they didn’t spend a lot of time going into Coulter’s backstory. You could tell killing took a toll on him. He took some beatings, but I really liked that you could tell he was capable and willing, but wasn’t an automatic top soldier. In facing adversity, mankind developed a satellite station to prevent these catastrophes. Gerard Butler’s movies get a bad rap, but damn if I wasn’t entertained the whole time. In Geostorm, Earth is beset by natural disasters. ![]()
