Geostorm movie Review:Is this Gerard Butler best Movie?

America saves the world again! Only this time, the problem was created by the US in coalition with several other nations. So, it's more a clean-up job really, headed by the angry satellite designer, Jake Lawson. In his zeal to save a hurricane from hitting China Jake uses unauthorised access to 'Dutchboy', a web of satellites which alters the weather on earth. For this, he is dismissed and replaced by his younger brother Max. But now, as 'Dutchboy' goes berserk and starts to malfunction attacking cities all over the world, Jake is called back and shot 250 miles up into space to fix the problem. He finds that this is no malfunction. Someone is wrecking the thing he created and he needs to fix it before the unknown entity can create the mother of all storms — the 'Geostorm'.

Review:
When catastrophic climate change endangers Earth's very survival, world governments unite and create the Dutch Boy Program: a world wide net of satellites, surrounding the planet, that are armed with geoengineering technologies designed to stave off the natural disasters.Unfortunately, the problem with this film was taking a great idea that would result in great special effects and having a number of producers and directors trying to add “Hollywood drama” to the story and the end result is an overly complicated and in the end, rather stupid story that involves politics, assassination and a series of events that really have no connection with end of the story. This movie could have been made so much better by just following the simple idea of less is more. How about a computer glitch or something that created a problem with the space station and the surrounding satellites that were built to fix extreme weather conditions?

 It would have been interesting enough to watch how the scientists were able to debug and fix the software and hardware problems. But someone producer or director, who thought it was too risky to create an intelligent story to go with the special effects slapped together a formula story that follows the typical Hollywood paradigm and actually ruined what could have been a very good action movie.

Gerard Butler is the main actor of this movie, playing the lead scientist who created a space station and satellite that control the weather along with Ed Harris and some other actors we have all seen before, but their appearance was not enough to make this any more than a very average movie.
