Geostorm

If you take this movie for what it is, an action / science fiction movie with emphasis on fiction, then it is, in my opinion, actually not too bad. The movie starts of with the usual suspects, a bunch of political asswipes setting off to create their, equally usual, clusterfuck firing the one competent person they actually needed to run the climate control project successfully.

For me to not miss relevant scenes or dialogue whilst daydreaming during the boring mire of good actors in bad parts, THAT was a challenge in and of itself.
