Midnight Screenings - Geostorm

[@The1337guy1]

Getting this trailer in front of fucking Blade Runner was one of the funniest things that's happened to me in a long time. Call of Duty: Global Warming.

[@nathanclark2424]

R3d 0rch3stra at least then there would be a decent to mediocre game play to distract you

[@Splitter4416]

I was incredibly amused that Dean Devlin's first film as director is essentially "Roland Emmerich's Greatest Hits".

[@lillianward2810]

Between you guys and How Did This Get Made, this has generated so much hilarious reviews.

[@culwin]

Geostorm is my favorite Pokemon

[@redraideninthehood763]

The way you two describe this movie makes it seem like a straight up comedy

[@tansoloyo007]

The Book of Henry, Wish Upon and now Geostorm. The Triple Feature of "So Bad It's Good" Movies of 2017 is now complete

[@ShanteYouStay]

I love watching you two! I'm not sure of Brad's friend but he seems super chill and fun. Brad is cracking me up with how much he's enjoying this crazy shit movie!!

[@spookydonkey42]

"weather dominator" is legit a Cobra plot from GI Joe... this really SHOULD have had ninjas in it!

[@thunderphoenix440]

So is this movie "The Atmosphere Has Fallen"?

[@ZemplinTemplar]

Or The Bottom Has Fallen Out of Gerard Butler's Career. X-D

[@TheAirBear2000]

Still sounds like a better Chicken Little movie than the one Disney gave us.

[@TheRealNormanBates]

24:30 the thing is, if the movie was just about this gigantic weather controlling space station breaking, and Gerard Butler had to go up to fix it while it was malfunctioning.. that would have been perfectly fine. A good 90 to 110 minute long movie, and it's just human beings coping with a disaster... you know, like THE TOWERING INFERNO and THE POSEIDEN ADVENTURE. I know we'll never see it, but it would be interesting to see the original cut.

[@kieranelliott5607]

I am truly intrigued by the process by which Gerard Butler selects his projects.

[@carterheer8278]

Kieran Elliott Dartboard?

[@Mr4thDoctor]

Yeah, my money would be on him using a dartboard.

[@meamishere1166]

I'm so happy to find out I'm not only who remembers the *Weather Dominator* AND that it was built by *Destro.* UPDATE: Also a *Dyson Sphere.*

[@robbiramirez5820]

I want to see the 1988 version of this with Kurt Russel as Butler's character and Powers Boothe as the villain.

[@rommix0]

4:52 Sounds like a National Treasure rip off when you said the president would be kidnapped. National Treasure: The Weather Edition

[@MBloodT]

Also Ed Harris

[@SamAronow]

Harris' Law If Ed Harris is in a movie and it isn't based on a true story, he's probably the bad guy.

[@HarrisBoe]

Sam Huddy as a person named Harris I can verify that this is true.

[@Phoneybeetlemaniacxs]

Wha about the abyss

[@SamAronow]

I said "probably."

[@Englebert3rd]

Heh, knew it the first second I've seen him on this one.

[@redhoodreviews8504]

Pretty much.

[@dunes8817]

Geostorm seems like a Syfy movie that somehow made it to theatres.

[@goufr3540]

Was thinking that same thing.

[@SAM-ru4vx]

is jason london still working?

[@kachosuffer7]

you people hate the movie but haven't even watched it yet, gg

[@badquestion4785]

VerdantGaming no, but there is such a thing as pattern recognition.

[@29AndreG]

Looks more like those disaster movie miniseries from the early 2000s.

[@mistaecco]

Finally, the sequel to superman 3 we were all waiting for

[@MrCreeper-yf4mc]

Wasn't it the Sequel to Superman 4?

[@SuperWillHatch]

And just like our generation's Superman, he let the Earth get destroyed once again.

[@mistaecco]

Nah, in superman 3 there's a scene where Richard Pryor gets drunk and reprograms a weather satellite to "reverse its polarity" to create weather in order to destroy the coffee crops in Columbia. That scene was better than the entirety of Geostorm.

[@BriannaNLC]

So . . . a movie from 1993 got put off until now?

[@xeanheart]

Hail. The size of mini-vans!

[@sailoritaly]

This sounds like the best Saturday morning cartoon ever

[@ubergeek1994]

Sorry to hear KZbin crap is affecting you too. Keep it up, I'll still keep watching.

[@TommyDeonauthsArchives]

Leonel Vela All you have to do is gaming videos and you won't be affected! Complete and utter crap!

[@mathunit1]

+Tommy Deonauth's Archives Then it looks like Brad is going to have make a new Midnight Gaming video. Question is, which game is he going to talk about? :)

[@cartmanrlsusall]

Oliver Xu the original leisure suit larry,that was an awesome game.

[@marachdrifter]

The most ridiculous thing in that movie is that in space every little screw that get lost is a potential threat for other objects, but in this, they blew up a damn space station in space, nobody cares that there is now billions of new space junk, and none of the weather satellites were touch by flying pieces !

[@jliller]

So the weather dominator has a giant laser beam too? Apparently the scriptwriters really loved the Command & Conquer franchise, but were disappointed they could never combine the GDI Ion Cannon with the Allies Weather Machine. Until now.

[@shadowsonthedust]

This movie was "an inconvenient truth" meets "the core" with a little bit of "2012" sprinkled on top, in space.

[@hoysandera2147]

Yeah, seeing the trailer reminded me of 2012. Honestly, they seemed to try to make this movie like Epidemic(or Pandemic? It was that disaster movie from a few years ago that dealt with a new disease attacking). They wanted to make it more compelling but failed to take in account the fact they are using a weather control machine.

[@jamiekamihachi3135]

I was so excited for this movie. It looked awful and I couldn't wait for the Midnight Screening episode.

[@nicholassims5366]

The satellite was probably manufactured by Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated lol if anyone gets this reference like this comment lol

[@jony4real]

Not likely. It actually works.

[@cartmanrlsusall]

Nicholas Sims Matt Damon. ...

[@matthewkoch6937]

This sounds like "Moonraker" mixed with the end of "Goldfinger", but on a T.V. budget. I love movies this unintentionally stupid, they are always a good time.

[@emcha30]

I appreciate the fact that you mentioned Destro while talking about a weather machine. 😂

[@Sagan_Blandard20XX]

I laughed so hard at this movie that I cried, multiple times. There is a part where Gerard Butler face plants and just skiiiiids on his mug for like ten feet, and I just lost it. Highly, highly recommended.

[@TommyDeonauthsArchives]

Haven't been this early to a midnight screenings episode!

[@shurik121]

The moment Ed Harris appeared on screen, I knew who the villain was.

[@Popcultureguy3000]

This would have been an amazing Team America: World Police sequel.

[@NidorinoAlliance]

I love your haircut, slaver Brian. Very nice polite white boy haircut.

[@dwarfbunni]

OMG! I forgot he was a slaver!!!

[@trtx84]

"He's still treated as his same character from Olympus and London Has Fallen." I mean, he's essentially trying to stop a plot to kill the the President. Again. Can you squint enough to make Andy Garcia look like Aaron Eckhart and at least *try* to pretend it's Earth Has Fallen? I think Butler even had a daughter in that too.

[@LovlyHorror]

I was wondering what that was about with the live videos. Thanks for addressing it. :)

[@notthechosenjuan2413]

Can you do a Bill O'Reilly impression when you open up the stream

[@JeonardShadby505]

So we have a movie about a scientific solution to climate change that goes awry, where Ed Harris is revealed to be the villain at the end? Man, I was hoping the sequel to SNOWPIERCER would be way fucking better than this!

[@anjetto1]

Jesse Shade prequel

[@NidorinoAlliance]

AYY Shadey Baby from DT 😁

[@shrooms847]

So cloudy with a chance of meatballs?

[@Jesse-fe1pf]

If this takes place in 2019, for some reason I'm picturing someone right now designing the weather satellites just to make sharknado a reality.

[@Glazius7]

The Wii game you were looking for is called "Disaster: Day Of Crisis". It's an excellent game about the President being blackmailed with tidal waves, the importance of breath control in forest fires, and a man eating hamburgers the size of his torso.

[@Stefano.C]

Brad should play that game one day with Laura xD

[@jackkatz8604]

Just saw Chris Stuckmann's review, and I've been waiting for this ever since.

[@Contemplativeman101]

This sounds like a fake title from a sitcom

[@marikotrue3488]

Ah, a computer system vetted and launched by the government helmed by an action hero what could go wrong.

[@georganner2271]

More and more I find I enjoy watching Midnight Screenings more than I enjoy watching the actual movie...

[@GUNDAMLOCKON]

Keep up the good work snob! looking forward to snowman.

[@jlprizm]

GUNDAMLOCKON I was more looking forward to the snowman but I enjoyed this review more than I thought I would.

[@hay9678]

I heard Fassbender is going to win an Oscar for being Mr. Police Man.

[@GUNDAMLOCKON]

Ah yes. HARRY HOLE!

[@agentkruger797]

The whole eggs frying on the ground thing told me what kind of movie this would be,Stupid fun.

[@lee4681]

"The air molecules can freeze all the environment at frequencies of 69 or lower" Why? "Plot science!"

[@RebelliousRobot]

WITH SCIENCE OF COURSE

[@grahamphillips3916]

lee4681

[@glennwelsh9784]

Dean Devlin directed it. Even the trailer made it obvious that this was going to be par for the course for Devlin. Dude produced Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow, and 2012. So with Geostorm, it's "same shit, different movie".

[@CineMasterDamian]

*The Day After Tomorrow* is extremely underrated!

[@matiastoatv]

3:07 It's The Avengers of disaster films -THIS??! -nonono not THOSE Avengers... -ooooohhh PERFECT, SO PERFECT

[@lunarimperium42]

The weather machine sounds like something out of G.I Joe

[@cameronclophus7998]

Lunar Imperium Star Trek The Next Generation had one

[@kennywu8522]

"This....Is....SCIENCE!"

[@MaximilianWWW]

"There's so many things that could have happened - and none of them did!"

[@robertgearhart]

I gotta see it now I haven't seen it but how u guys described it it's the kind of movie I'll smoke a bowl and laugh my ass off to

[@robotrix]

Butler put the self-destruct on the space station because he's a big fan of "Life" and doesn't want Calvin to get back to Earth this time.

[@MontyPythonFanatic2]

I feel like they could have made a better Kingsman 2 using this premise than the one we actually got.

[@JRennick27]

DontMindMeNow a lot of things in Kingsman 2 could’ve been better beyond the plot lol. But yeah, that’s true.

[@williampusey8266]

Thanks for letting me know that Snake Outta Compton is a thing. Now I have to see that shit.

[@veltriam]

Still one of my favorite reviews 😂

[@cartmanrlsusall]

From the trailers this movie seems like a reboot of the epic GI joe,battle for the weather dominator.

[@humanconvertile]

This whole movie sounds like it could be the series finale of Captain Planet. All that is apparently missing is a mad doctor with purple dish-washing gloves and Doc Brown hair laughing maniacally. "It's not good, but it's not boring." Good enough for me!

[@chrisbg99]

You know I'd figure controlling the weather this way would probably have all sorts of consequences.

[@LokDesaad6]

Sounds like if the machine was made by Cobra, it would make for a perfect "G.I. Joe" movie.

[@shsharding44]

Geostorm-sounds like a name for a nail polish

[@cartmanrlsusall]

Shanahan harding it would make a good name for a new car company, with a new line of cars.

[@shsharding44]

Very true!

[@jokerz7936]

Perhaps Geostorm takes place in the West Wing Universe since they established due to Nixion there was a special election in 74 and they then had their election and midterms years opposite of us. Or perhaps we have a special election due to Trump in Geostorm Universe in 2018. Lol.

[@LegendsP137]

This sounds like a plot in bad cartoon. This movie would be fun watch stoned lol.

[@mgabrysSF]

Geostorm. Sound like a bad compact car.

[@Agent57000DM]

Better or worse than Gods of Egypt?

[@FelisTerras]

Funnier, for sure :D

[@BluRayMan12]

I went and saw the film tonight. Whereas Gods of Egypt was pretty consistently funny in a "so bad, it's entertaining" way this was downright hilarious because the plot is just SO stupid and atrocious doesn't even begin to describe level of scriptwriting. There was one moment towards the end that I think was meant to be badass but resulted in about 30 seconds of uncontrollable laughter from me. As atrocious as the film is I had a great time because I was laughing pretty much non-stop. Felt like I was witnessing the birth of a new classic in the "so bad it's entertaining genre" (much more so than Gods of Egypt)

[@fowof]

When they said the avengers,I knew which ones they ment and I cllaaapped

[@wjzav1971]

Sounds like this space station was built by Dr. Heinz Doofenschmirz.

[@RichardWatt]

And he contracted it out to the British government.

[@oneopinion6806]

The plot of the villain seemed to be twofold of both eliminating the positions above him to become President (weren't they in the same party? No that ever Dem has to be friends but wouldn't someone have known of his clearly simmering rage?) but also he references purging the world--of a reset. SO he's also going for the chosen one thing. They also undercut the whole point of Gerard Butler going up there, which was stated to be because the main space station is glitching and he needs to fix it, but then the resolution involves NASA just controlling the weather satellites from the ground! There's not enough disaster fun in this, it just hurts.

[@D0ug1997]

The satellite aspect sounds like one of Al Gore's wet dreams.

[@dunes8817]

Wait. So it's basically a dumber, weather-centric version of Canadian Bacon?

[@jliller]

I look forward to seeing this movie on Rifftrax.

[@SimonBergeron1977]

By the way, maybe I'm super late in the game but did you think, seeing your shirt, that you could do "Lloyd Approved" shirts?

[@karfsma778]

I like the non-live cause I have other live stuff to watch, and this way I don't feel like I've missed anything.

[@Tadicuslegion78]

I think Nash would be happy if Florida was destroyed and fell into the sea

[@Collageman90]

Will you do a Midnight Screening of The Snowman? It is really getting panned and is being declared one of the worst movies of 2017.

[@boraxkid1097]

Anyone ever seen that sketch from The Chris Rock Show called Shitstorm?

[@arodz21]

You guys didn't bring up the space station: First, apparently in the near future, we can launch shuttles into space like regular flights to Chicago. AND with only ONE passenger, who isn't even piloting the shuttle. Then once they get into orbit to make contact with the space station, it turns out it's the Death Star. Because there is NO gravity on this thing and it must have the tractor beam to guide in the shuttle into a loading dock, because it's softly flies in an lands. I was expecting to hear the imperial March. But you know what, as monumentally dumb as this thing is, the screening I watched it with was applauding at the end. I am not even kidding.

[@Jaytheradical]

So, is this movie actually a sequel to The Day After Tomorrow, like the previews made it look?

[@fatimagic1365]

i swear, the plot of this movie was literally a storyline on general hospital in the 80s lol

[@tbspaceship]

What movie are they referring to with the giant snake and the cartel stuff?

[@meamishere1166]

tbspaceship I haven't watched the whole review yet but it sounds like *"Snakes on a Plane."*

[@BlueEyesMaster100]

This movie sounds like so much fun to make fun of

[@gilgaloregames1066]

lol i love rewatching this review

[@cameronclophus7998]

Wait isn't Secretary of the State second in line with Vice president first? Why kill them all then......

[@geoffreysorkin5774]

Speaker of the House is before Secretary of State. If the Speaker is at the convention (same party controls House and Presidency) destroying the convention kills the President, Vice President, and Speaker.

[@cameronclophus7998]

Boomer Will Live!

[@harmonicajay91]

The fact that this wasn't a GI Joe movie about the Weather Dominator is the ultimate failure of this tripe movie.

[@baconwithasideofsagittariu591]

I just saw it I almost cried when jake was stuck in the DutchBoy and I thought he was gonna die

[@tremorsfan]

I believe that Gerard Butler's character says he put in a self destruct mechanism in case the ship lost orbit.

[@willgriffin5647]

I know this won't be great, but seeing what could happen if we can control the weather does make you think. anything can be hacked, who knows?

[@roetheboat1]

Police procedural in outer space.......? POLICENAUTS?!?

[@cartoonkelly7924]

Spare me your space-aged techno-babble Atilla the Hun.

[@jlprizm]

I'm still confused about what a geostorm is.

[@butcherboy2008]

Is Gerard Butler's character named Jared Syn?

[@nickmattio3397]

Does Sir Sean Connery come in last minute and save the day?

[@ThirdSpectrum]

They do use spirit in the sky in the trailers

[@cammymc1982]

I took this movie out on loan for free from the library,because I knew this movie was going to be shit.

[@heisensaul5538]

god damn laser season......

[@andrewblanchard2537]

this movie was trying to be THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW

[@CineMasterDamian]

I don't see the problem with that since "The Day After Tomorrow" is seriously underrated film and in my opinion the best disaster film of all time!
