Critics Consensus

Beware, comets of Greenland: Gerard Butler is here to protect Earth -- and show audiences an improbably entertaining time.

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

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

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

This disaster film is contrived and nonsensical with very few redeeming features.

In the end, Greenland is predictably underwhelming, packing only a couple of genuinely exciting sequences, and a decent cast.

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.

I liked it. Reminds me of Shyamalan style. I appreciate folk/supernatural drama movies that have a little bit of everything.

Focusing on the kid was this movie’s failing. The child is basically a lazy and frustrating plot device. It’s a shame because there was great potential.
