Do you remember the Film 'Armageddon'

'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!)

Full disclosure: I would pay to listen to Kevin Costner read the dictionary.

With that being said, what an exceptional film. Told from the point of view of a family's dog, Enzo. Enzo was brought home by Denny before there even was a family. Through Enzo's eyes we see Denny fall in love and start a family of his own all while pursuing his dream of driving a race car professionally.

Amanda Seyfried and Milo Ventimiglia are both wonderful in their respective roles but at the end of the day Kevin Costner truly stole the show (pun intented) and made the movie as excellent as it is. Amazingly, you obviously never see him on screen, but his presence remains the largest of all.

Give this a watch and make sure that you have a hankie handy. Seriously.
