Hollywood disaster movies are usually very slick and this one gets there quite comfortably but the central idea here is presented in a way that appears totally devoid of smarts. It seems the world has already gravitated towards a space station that has the potential to control the weather patterns on Earth. As claims would have it, it was the unprecedentedly savage series of encounters with natural disasters that set the major countries (including India) of the world to think up this intricate network of satellites, 'Dutch Boy,' to control the Global climate and keep earthlings safe. It's a timely concept, no doubt, coming as it does close on the heels of the series of climate disasters that have been plaguing the real world in recent times.
