While many Hollywood stars are careful about the roles they take on, Gerard Butler seems like he is too good for nothing. In recent years, his filmography has accumulated some fascinating projects, some of which have very poor premises. However, Butler pulls through the films.
A prime example of this is Geostorm. The mixture of sci-fi and disaster film tells of a man-made storm that threatens to… to destroy the entire earth. Butler is sent into space as a satellite engineer to prevent the catastrophe. But then everything goes wrong.
Gerard Butler’s Armageddon: The world ends in the completely absurd sci-fi hit Geostorm
In Geostorm, humanity managed to to control the weather. This is possible thanks to a huge network of satellites orbiting the globe. Thanks to precise calculations, climate change could be stopped. At least until the point where the technology fails and things get much worse.

With such an initial situation comes naturally the question of realism on. Can Geostorm be argued scientifically? That’s exactly what Inverse asked Harvard astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell. His answer is clear: “This particular idea – and feel free to quote me – is garbage.”
Presumably this statement is made in the case of a Hollywood blockbuster, first and foremost aimed at action and drama, surprise no one. The idea of Geostorm may not make sense. But this is exactly where Gerard Butler comes into play, who still turns the film into an entertaining pleasure.
