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 Geoffrey Macnab iNews.co.uk This disaster film is contrived and nonsensical with very few redeeming features. Rated: 2/5 Jan 16, 2025 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.

Nikk M It was alright. Good enough for a movie night with the kids... If you're trying to get a feel of the movie, after watching the trailer, just think of the movie "2012" and instead of big government built luxury ships, think underground bunkers like the series The 100. There were several aspects of the movie I didn't like... There were several scenes where they seemed to throw in props for the actors to use, for no apparent reason and they were never seen again... Like the rifle the grandpa gave the father - where'd that go? Just stayed in the truck the whole time... I get that it was a symbolic gesture, an old war veteran giving the 'significant other' (can we still call him husband?) his personal rifle like handing over a torch of trust - but it's lost in effect because the weapon was never actually put to use.. Another is when the medical team at the FEMA camp gave them glucose pills..? Sorry, but they had an entire bag of medical supplies that they had already acquired - and a FEMA camp giving ONE family several MONTHS of supply is unheard of, especially with that many tents and god-knows how many people in the area needing assistance with unknown issues - you're not just gonna give away a huge chunk of your supplies to one family.... Another item that fits this pattern is the satellite phone given to John by Dale. Dale provides John with a satellite phone to maintain communication during their perilous journey. However, despite the potential significance of this device, it is never used or mentioned again in the film. Like I said before... Great movie for a movie night... If you can't find anything else to watch and this caught your eye as you were scrolling thru the options, just know it's a good contender, but it's more just a copy-cat of 2012, or San Andreas, without all the fluff.. I think they probably blew most of their budget on the costumes/uniforms and special effects and less on the writing of the script. A decent watch, with a decent cast, and a decent ending. I don't think it deserves a 6 because it wasn't bad or shoddy work... Mid-tier 7/10 from me. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Maria del Carmen R It was a great movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Calvin T It's OK but if a meteor was coming ANYWHERE near earth......they would know years in advance Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/10/25 Full Review jules V It was like watching someone play a bad video game. The world starts to collapse, but EVERY SINGLE THING they need is one tiny quest away. From the medicine, to the kidnapping, ,transportation, to MORE medicine, the plane ride... It didn't lean into a super cheesy/campy watch, or a visual effects monster. Even though it is packed full of known actors, the dialog and writing is smooth brained. I couldn't get into it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/09/25 Full Review isaac s This Movie Was Amazing! This Movie Had My Heart Pumping Throughout The Whole Thing! Five Years After Its Release And I Belive That It Lives Up To Many Movies In 2025! I Recommend You Go Watch This Movie For Yourself! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Charles S There must be a weird reason to even make this story into a movie! I'm thinking this is what will happen to all of us in 2030 when the world comes to an end due to fake astroids hitting earth when it was Deep State's missile launchers sending hail of nuclear missiles down to earth to reset civilization. Only thing that would have saved this movie is to have Gerald Butler say the words, "This is Sparta!" Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/25 Full Review Read all reviews
