History YMMV / Geostorm

** The airplane shattering due to the cold temperature looks like something that wouldn't be out of place in an ''Film/{{Airplane}}'' movie, even it the scene (especially portrayed in the first trailer) was meant to be disturbing.

* JustHereForGodzilla: Audiences who came to watch it are only in for the destruction scenes. However, this actually turned out to be a subversion: there weren't as many epic global destruction scenes [[TrailersAlwaysLie as the marketing suggested]], so ''Geostorm'' didn't even have the bare minimum of visual spectacle to make up for the terrible story, nonsensical premise, and forgettable characters.

* SoBadItsGood: As a poorly received disaster offering, this film quickly made the watch-lists of bad movie fans.

* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:[[BigBad Secretary of State Leonard Dekkom]] and [[WeatherControlMachine Dutch Boy]]'s engineer, [[TheMole Duncan Taylor]], conspire together and plant a virus into the aforementioned weather-controlling satellite to cause a series of natural disasters, killing untold people. While Dekkom has the head of Dutch Boy's Hong Kong department murdered to cover up his crimes, Taylor implants a virus on the spaceship of the crew that ventures to fix Dutch Boy to destroy it and kill them all. Motivated by nothing but personal gain, [[OnlyInItForTheMoney Taylor]] seeks a handsome payment for his crimes while [[CorruptPolitician Dekkom]] attempts to kill the President so he may use the global catastrophe to take power himself.]]

* SnarkBait: The most common reactions to the movie have been how ItsBeenDone before, from ''Film/TheDayAfterTomorrow'' and ''Film/TwoThousandTwelve'' to even ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs''.

* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:[[BigBad Secretary of State Leonard Dekkom]] is secretly behind the disasters occurring around the world. He convinces the engineer Duncan to plant a virus into [[WeatherControlMachine Dutch Boy]]'s system mainframe in order to [[KillSat cause a series of devastating natural disasters]]. He also has Cheng Long murdered to prevent him from exposing the conspiracy. As dozens of storms destroy several cities around the globe, Dekkom tries to kill President Palma at a Democratic National Convention so that he'll become President after everyone in the line of succession dies. While he claims that he just wants to eliminate America's "enemies," Dekkom is [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist really a power-hungry politician]] who committed treason and killed millions all so AmericaTakesOverTheWorld--with him in charge.]]

* NarmCharm: In any other movie, Dekkom would be your standard unremarkable genocidal mustache-twirling villain. Here, with how ridiculous this movie gets, he loops it around from being plain stupid to being so stupid, it somehow works.

* SoBadItsGood: As a poorly received disaster offering, this film quickly made the watch-lists of bad movie fans.
* TheUnTwist: Most reviews and negative takedowns point out it's easy to figure out Dekkom is the bad guy, because [[TypeCasting Ed Harris is playing him.]]

** The ISS crewmember who gets sucked into space in the first act. His death comes out of nowhere with no foreshadowing and happens so fast that it becomes unintentionally funny. The poor guy's face at realizing what's happening doesn't help, either.

* JustHereForGodzilla: Audiences who came to watch it are only in for the destruction scenes. See the DisasterMovie page for info.

** The film's name is pretty silly if you know that the "Geo Storm" is a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo_Storm low-budget compact car]] that was released from 1990 to 1993. The filmmakers were unaware of the car when they released the film.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The movie was a critical and commercial failure in the US but did better in China, beating ''Film/BladeRunner2049'' and ''Film/KingsmanGoldenCircle''. This is likely because marketing emphasized Chinese-American actor Daniel Wu over Gerard Butler and other actors.
