GEOSTORM (2017) Movie Review
Greed destroys and love restores.
1 Timothy 6:10 - “For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows." (NLT)
In a future where Earth depends on technological assistance for weather control, Geostorm is a story about an impending threat that two estranged brothers must solve before a catastrophic storm wipes out a majority of the planet.
A revolutionary satellite system named the Dutch Boy Program begins as the planet's salvation becomes its destruction. It was intended to unify nations. Peace is on the horizon. Instead, prejudice and lust for power reverses all that work and progress.
This movie is not only a Sci-Fi and a thriller. It is indeed a mystery. The burning question is who is behind the corruption? Who has infiltrated and corrupted the planet's salvation? Who intends to kill millions of innocent people? Who is the road block to unity? Who lusts for control and power?
Luke 12:15 - “...Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.”
Among a team of hard working, dedicated people from around the world who maintains the satellite system, one is the culprit. One person has cannot resist the temptation to play God.
Time is of the essence for Jake Lawson, the Dutch Boy Program's designer, and his brother, Max Lawson. Their talk is to find the culprit, but they don't know on whom to rely or who to trust. Everyone who investigates risks a horrifying murder.
Ephesians 4:31-32 "Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you."
They investigate without hesitation. They put their differences and grudges aside for the sake of others. For innocent lives. For the health of Earth’s climate. For the future of humanity. What better way to reconcile with an estranged family member? All grudges pale in comparison to the world's salvation. They share a common goal that is more important than their personal lives.
The same way these brothers mend their broken bond, we must all as brothers and sisters in Christ mend broken relationships, for we too share a common goal. Bring salvation to the world. Success is only possible if we work together, not against each other. No more judgment. No more prejudice. Let us set aside our differences.
JUST LOVE.
