Gerard Butler’s climate change-perfect storm movie is foundering at the box office and could lose almost as much as it cost to make.

Critics didn’t like Gerard Butler’s new disaster movie. I mean they reeeeeeeeally didn’t like it.

If you’re going through Roland Emmerich withdrawals, or perhaps you’ve always wanted to know what Armageddon would be like if it wasn’t as good, then may I present to you the latest trailer for — wait for it — Geostorm. Yes, that’s the actual title. Really. No, it’s not a fake movie, but you’d be forgiven for thinking as much after sitting through two and a half totally bonkers minutes of footage.

It’s odd — as our planet rapidly hurdles towards any number of very real oblivions, disaster-porn movies have started to play a little more fancifully. ‘Malfunctioning weather-controlling spacecraft triggers climate cataclysms’ sounds like a kinda quaint way for the world to end, as opposed to nuclear holocausts or World War III or a total breakdown of humanity’s societal order. It’s been a minute since the Earth last swallowed up its inhabitants with the earthquake-sploitation picture San Andreas, and frankly, it’s just a relief to see a fictitious vision of the apocalypse that’s not entirely our fault.

Gerard Butler once again stole our hearts when a fan outside 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' handed him a replica Spartan helmet from '300' and he put it on -- without even being asked -- and got right into character.
