Coincidence theorist! But yeah... I thought of the same thing, when i saw the trailer for Geo-storm. I'm not sure what the point of predictive programming is really. I mean, i know the traditional psychological explanations, but it still seems self defeating. Over a long enough timeline, there is only one conclusion that stands to reason, which is that people involved in the production of many films have prior knowledge of major events. Period. You can only claim coincidence for so long before it becomes ridiculous. At which point, one has to either conclude that there are actual prophets working in Hollywood, who like to leave Easter eggs in their films and work their prescience into movie plots, or that the events themselves are engineered and controlled by humans, who have some motive for hinting at them prior to their occurrence.

What am i missing here? Under-estimation of the human race's capacity for self-delusion? There has to be a limit to that.

P.S. Something something confirmation bias... I get that, and this movie in particular is probably a poor example. More so because i haven't actually seen it, and have no plans to.
