The result is a first-rate B-picture, and a timely reminder of the delights of well-crafted popcorn thrills.

The new movie Greenland will make you sick. And I cannot recommend it highly enough.

4/5

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.

Greenland is shockingly worth your time. It feels weird to say that about a Gerard Butler film, but it manages to spin just enough of its own apocalyptic yarn to differentiate itself from its contemporaries.

If it separates itself from more generic fare, it's because it focuses on a particular family and not on ten thousand different characters, and because it places great emphasis on the emotional tragedy they find themselves in. [Full review in Spanish].

Brilliant. Very well written and directed. Stunning cinematography. Stellar cast all excel in character, Butler and Baccarin in particular. Not your typical "end of the world" disaster movie. Lots of action, hysteria, confusion, all the emotion you can imagine, intrigue, grit, suspense, twists, calamity and drama. Shows human behavior at its best and also at its worst. Lots of food for thought. Very entertaining and captivating

Greenland works because it takes a more grounded approach to the disaster-movie formula. The comet threat is enormous, but the film stays focused on one family trying to survive panic, bad information, separation, desperate crowds, and impossible choices. That human focus makes the end-of-the-world scenario feel more personal. The tension builds well. The airport sequence, the family separation, the roads filled with terrified people, the bunker selection process, and the final push toward Greenland all create a strong sense of urgency without losing the emotional thread. Gerard Butler gives the movie a steady, believable lead presence, while Morena Baccarin helps keep the family stakes grounded. The film still uses plenty of familiar survival-thriller pieces, and a few conveniences stretch belief as the family keeps finding ways forward. Still, Greenland is effective, tense, and more emotionally grounded than expected.

I never thought I would watch a movie about the end of the world scenario that would happen naturally. Just to feel depressed about how many lives were lost.😢

We have all seen this type of plot before, however the meaning behind is different. We all love the story of a dad saving their family, but in this one it’s not just him doing all the work.
