Mark Kermode Observer (UK) The result is a first-rate B-picture, and a timely reminder of the delights of well-crafted popcorn thrills. Rated: 4/5 Feb 7, 2021 Full Review Barry Hertz Globe and Mail The new movie Greenland will make you sick. And I cannot recommend it highly enough. Feb 6, 2021 Full Review Chris Hewitt (UK) Empire Magazine Butler's best star vehicle in years, what could have been a bombastic bunch of boulders is, instead, a refreshingly clear-eyed and compelling affair. One of the best disaster movies in years. Rated: 4/5 Feb 6, 2021 Full Review Rebecca Johnson Film Focus Online Greenland may not add anything fresh or new to the very over-done genre of disaster movies, yet it provides two hours of fun and entertaining escapism. Gerard Butler is better than he's been in a while. Rated: 3/5 Aug 6, 2023 Full Review Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews In the end, Greenland is predictably underwhelming, packing only a couple of genuinely exciting sequences, and a decent cast. Rated: D+ Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Dallas King Flick Feast Butler’s most affecting performance in years... Greenland presents the end of the world as we know it in a mighty fine and entertaining way.

Jasper M One of the better disaster movies I've seen so far but I just don't believe that this is the way people would behave in a situation like this. It would be refreshing to see a disaster movie that moves a bit more away from the "humans are only capable of thinking about themselves and are prepared to kill for even the tiniest benefit to themselves as soon as civilisation collapses" trope. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Pjt S There are a few problems with the movie. But the 2 that irritated me the most are how they got separated, and the sons chance of survival at the end. Son is T1 diabetic, left med in car, dad goes back, military finds out son is diabetic, and takes mom and son to senior officer. They could have waited for dad to return, and because they didn't are now separated for the next 90 or so minutes. At the end they make it to a bunker with ~1 weeks worth of insulin, then what? It has been established the the boy will get ill fast with out the drug. Meaning that the boy produces almost no insulin, where as some other T1s can produce a little so can last weeks or months with out it, this boy seems to be able to survive hours or a day. All that effort to get the family to the bunker just to watch the boy die a horrible death. Insulin has a shelf life of about a month. Which is why the military turned them away at the beginning, they will be underground for months / years, with no ongoing insulin production. At least in this movie, families were saved with the needed people with skill sets, and not like most where only the skilled person is saved (which is the more realistic scenario), having to leave partners and children behind. If you can turn off most of your 'are you kidding' part of the brain, this is an ok movie, if you cant, plenty of other movies to choose from. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Aiden B The movie is cool visually but tainted by really smooth brain decisions by the characters making for frustrating easily avoidable moments. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Ma N Greenland delivers some stunning pictures of an apocalyptic planet earth. But besides, the movie is at least twice as long as it should be, thus feeling prolonged and repetitive. Also the basically touching performances and scenes are simply overdone. 'Less is more' surely wasn't the main principle of the writers. I'd recommend this film to people which haven't seen any disaster movies yet, but for those who have already seen a few, Greenland can't really add anything new. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/10/24 Full Review Gabriel R Very predictable movie with no real action scenes or anything to remember Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Conor K Fun and emotional ride! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
