'The Day After Tomorrow'?
Or even '2012'?
This is more of the same, this time with Gerard Butler taking the lead in a not-so-distant future of 2022 after a network of satellites is sent up into space in 2019 (I must have missed that - I'm reviewing in 2020) to control the weather.
Of course, things then start t go wrong with said satellites (mainly due to sabotage), leading ex-chief engineer Jake Lawson to be recruited by his politician brother (who had previously fired him) to go back up into space to see if he can put things right, in a race against time.
So, Gerard Butler vs The Weather. It's no contest.
(it's also almost completely a cheesy B movie, which can be unintentionally funny if you let it!)
