Well, THIS is awkward…

If you’ve been complaining about Dubai’s weather being less than perfect lately, a new movie trailer might have you counting your lucky stars…

Warner Bros. has just released a series of teaser trailers for the upcoming disaster film Geostorm, starring Gerard Butler and Abbie Cornish.

One of the new trailers for the film shows our beloved Dubai being taken out by a huge wave – and not even the Burj Khalifa is safe from its watery wrath.

The blockbuster will tell the story of a satellite designer who must attempt to save the world from one seriously epic storm.

But the top comment went to Steve Patrick Moore, with this gem: “Please don’t flood I’m going to Karama today.”

Geostorm is set to be released on October 20, so we’ll see you in cinemas then – if Dubai is still standing, that is…
