We’ve taken the time to shower praise on the most worthy of 2017’s cinematic outings. The biting social commentary of Get Out? Phenomenal! Roger Deakins’ visual masterstrokes in Blade Runner 2049? Magnificent! Kenneth Branagh’s spectacularly ludicrous Murder On The Orient Express Poirot tache? Er, bushy!
But what of our actual life blood? What of our very real human need to survive the hours between 11pm and 3am on a weekend? Well, when it came to the trashiest of sci-fi action, 2017 hid most of its glory at the bum-end. We got a belated sequel to the critically-savaged Skyline, called Beyond Skyline, which turned out to be a 90s-style alien invasion/martial arts/kaiju fever dream we didn’t ask for, or even know we needed…
…but first, there was Geostorm.
Ah, Geostorm. What to say that hasn’t already been said? Gerard Butler Vs. Angry Weather, a space station in trouble, a camel running from a tidal wave – Geostorm had it all, and more. Much more. About 12 sub-plots more for reasons best known to those writers and editors behind the scenes desperately trying to rescue it from straight-to-DVD territory.
