After an unprecedented series of natural disasters threatened the planet, the world's leaders came together to create an intricate network of satellites to control the global climate and keep everyone safe. But now, something has gone wrong: the system built to protect Earth is attacking it, and it becomes a race against the clock to uncover the real threat before a worldwide geostorm wipes out everything and everyone along with it.
Practical Effects
Practical weather destruction beats the CGI space station.
Production
Absurdly over-designed satellite control room is unintentionally hilarious.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Dean Devlin's directorial debut after producing Independence Day and Godzilla (1998). It bombed so hard he didn't direct again for years.
The film's climate control premise became weirdly topical, though its 'hack the weather' conspiracy plotline aged like milk left in a hot car.
