"Greenland" isn't about comets hitting Earth, it's about the Garrity family surviving this crisis by staying together. And that character-centric approach is what holds this film together.

The movie was ok but some of the story seemed a bit dumb, some of it was interesting to see though what would happen in such type scenario. Acting was great, but I don't see why critics praise this movie so high in general.

Primarily, it's a disaster soap opera and in the first five or ten minutes the entire plot is revealed: a comet is coming and most of us are probably not going to survive.

All that's left to discover is how many obstacles the screenplay puts between our main characters and safety. The big surprise? A Kentucky farmer has no handguns, just one bolt action rifle, to hand his daughter and son-in-law. Personally, I don't think that's credible.

The film is moderately entertaining but lacks innovation and forget about plot twists.… Expand

I think that the only purpose of this movie is to make you hate human beings and rooting for their extinction

Fiction attached to "reality" or "reality" attached to fiction? The point is that it has action and Butler, which are practically synonymous.

Was Okay it did feel like every other disaster movie it didn't really have anything new about it. It wasn't bad just kinda one of those average films that I will probably not watch again.

English Review

The Earth begins to be hit by a series of fragments of a strange comet on a collision course with it. The marriage of John and Allison Garrity (Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin), who was in the process of separation and their young son Nathan must suddenly undertake an eventful journey to a safe haven.

Director Ric Roman Waugh is said to have made a film that privileges the human scale over spectacularity. There is some truth to this, as the film is not lavish in special effects, but they are elegant and effective and the crowd scenes are accomplished. In addition, it has the ability to “fragment” the threat and its effects. The "human" plot focuses on a family, unlike other catastrophe films that address a finally convergent choral structure. But he incurs in a few common places, betting on unbreakable family ties, his misunderstandings and reunions, an anticlimactic sentimentality, desperate, violent and / or miserable behaviors of the save oneself who can, enhanced by government secrecy. Many scenes (and perhaps the entire movie) could apply to any global threat. But this time one that also occurs in the heart of the Empire.
In this case, the US Government seems to have its secret anti-catastrophe plan much better planned than its policy against Covid, with an elitist and utilitarian approach that constitutes one of the few original (and unintentionally ironic) elements of the film.

Reseña Español

La Tierra comienza a recibir el impacto de una serie de fragmentos de un extraño cometa en curso de colisión con ella. El matrimonio conformado por John y Allison Garrity (Gerard Butler y Morena Baccarin), que estaba en proceso de separación y su pequeño hijo Nathan deben emprender súbitamente un accidentado viaje hacia un refugio seguro.
Se dice que el director Ric Roman Waugh ha hecho una película que privilegia la escala humana por sobre la espectacularidad. Hay algo de cierto en esto, ya que la película no es pródiga en efectos especiales, pero son elegantes y efectivos y las escenas de masas están logradas. Además, y a diferencia de Impacto profundo, tiene la habilidad de “fragmentar” la amenaza y sus efectos. La trama “humana” se concentra en una familia, a diferencia de otras películas catástrofe que abordan una estructura coral finalmente convergente. Pero incurre en unos cuántos lugares comunes, apostando a los inquebrantables lazos familiares, a sus desencuentros y reencuentros, a un sentimentalismo anticlimático, a los comportamientos desesperados, violentos y/o miserables del sálvese quien pueda, potenciados por el secretismo gubernamental. Muchas escenas (y acaso la película entera) podrían aplicarse a cualquier amenaza global. Pero esta vez una que también ocurre en el corazón del Imperio.
En este caso, el Gobierno de EE. UU. parece tener mucho mejor planificado su plan secreto anti catástrofe que su política frente al Covid, con un criterio elitista y utilitario que constituye uno de los pocos elementos originales (e involuntariamente irónicos) de la película.

It’s an adequate, involving enough afternoon watch (faint praise: better than Geostorm) and for those with a certain destructive itch that still needs scratching, this should do the job.

while it still has the classic disaster movie trope of man has bad relationship with his wife but he has a kid and that serves as his moral compass, bc apparently disaster movie men only have empathy if they have children and failing/failedwhile it still has the classic disaster movie trope of man has bad relationship with his wife but he has a kid and that serves as his moral compass, bc apparently disaster movie men only have empathy if they have children and failing/failed marriages, but that’s more a complaint abt disaster movies. other than that the movie is a top tier disaster movie.… Expand

Generic disaster movie with an annoying family, very predictable, nothing new or original. Avoid, not worth your time.
