Why not just fly up there and fix it?
I thought it was fun, but I am a disaster movie fan and for one welcome our satellite overlords. I just watched The Cloverfield Paradox last night. If you are into the Cloververse, space-alien-timey-wimey type stuff and not too picky about plot holes... you'll enjoy it :)
I have Geostorm set to record on Cinemax on Friday. Saw the preview for it a couple of days ago and it looked interesting.
What I'm REALLY looking forward to is "Blade Runner 2049" on Saturday. I LOVE Blade Runner.
I like Cloverfield. I'm waiting to see a direct sequel, though I've read that 10 Cloverfield Lane is supposed to be really good.

maratsade I'd leave the planet, literally.
GabeU I watched it thinking it would be 'meh' but it really picks up!

Well, I finally watched Geostorm. It was enjoyable.
I did laugh a lot, though, as I think it's quite possibly the most egregious movie I've ever seen when it comes to the laws of physics evidently not applying.

I remember watching an episode of "The Six Million Dollar Man" back in college, circa 1979, where Austin needed to get the bad guys, but they were taking off in a helicopter. So Col. Steve Austin jumps way into the air and grabs ahold of one of the runners. THEN he does a sort of pull-up, essentially bringing down the copter by virtue of his bionic biceps--using strength rather than mass to bring it down. Now THAT is some pretty amazing circumvention of the laws of physics!
The movie "The Day After Tomorrow" has some pretty agregious climate change science as well as some breaking of the laws of physics. But it also has Dennis Quaid, so who cares?
MarkJFine, I've got all ten seasons of Stargate SG-1 (no questionable science there, lol!) on Amazon Prime. I'm about to download them all onto an extra hard drive I have, as soon as I can locate it in my tornado otherwise known as my office, haha! BUT I was going to say, read the reviews because there are apparently two outfits putting out the discs and one definitely gets far better reviews than the other!

am programming for repeats of both of these... just to compete with my DVR that's full of SG-1s from El Rey Network (I should just buy the compendium on Amazon).
