Gerard Butler’s 18% Rotten Tomatoes Sci-Fi Thriller Is a Surprise Hit on Netflix

One of Gerard Butler’s most forgotten movies is stirring up a storm on Netflix nearly 10 years after being released. Butler stars alongside Andy Garcia and Ed Harris in Geostorm, the 2017 sci-fi/disaster thriller that tells the story of a team of scientists led by Jake Lawson (Butler) who race against the clock to save Earth from a dangerous geostorm that is capable of wiping out the entire planet. Geostorm recently made its streaming debut on Netflix to kick off April and has found major success on the platform, climbing to the #4 spot in the streamer’s top 10. Geostorm earned “rotten” scores of 18% from critics and 35% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, but the film grossed over $220 million at the global box office, including $187 million in international markets.
