![]() ![]() How a movie that features Gerard Butler saving the world from space could be so underwhelming is beyond us. The effects are disappointing, the action lacklustre. Instead, it’s the opposite, a flat take on a global disaster storyline with performances and drama that barely qualify as such. If movies were judged on how many scenes they have featuring people looking at computers, Geostorm would have been a massive success. ![]() Somehow it totally misunderstands what makes a good monster movie, and is still just an average action movie, too. It’s a generic action movie that feels tangential to the Universal Monsters property it’s based on, filled with links to a world moviegoers will most likely never see. Maybe before casting and announcing a massive, multi-film franchise, make sure the initial entry is good… if not great? Unfortunately for the Universal’s Dark Universe, The Mummy is neither of those things. More Transformers movie will come, but we doubt many will be as bad. And this was supposed to be the Transformers movie that restarted the franchise, not put a stake in its heart. And yes, of course, this is a movie about aliens that transform into trucks, but that doesn’t mean it should be so long, boring, or nonsensical. The movie is jam-packed with plot, little of which makes sense or links together logically. Trying to describe the story, motivation, or basically anything in Transformers: The Last Knight is an exercise in futility.
