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].

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.

Wish there was more depth and info on why Greenland, not just “hey that’s where the planes are going”

Calling this a B movie doesn't give it justice. Using the disaster as a lens into the bad and the good of humanity, and a vehicle for forgiveness the cast and crew delivered an excellent film. 1/2 star removed for not ending the film about 90 seconds earlier.

Pretty good for a natural-disaster-apocalypse movie. There are some visually enticing scenes with large-scale impacts, explosions, fire, and smoke, but 'Greenland' doesn't rely on them. There is an underlying family drama theme involved, though without much character development or real importance to the story. It's a decent mix of end times drama with tension and action, which should keep you entertained and leave you satisfied upon credit-roll on a movie night.
