Greenland - Le dernier refuge

We went tonight, my girlfriend and I, as two people who likes this kind of movies and we loved it.

English is not my native language so I will keep it short : this is a well made apocalypse movie that evolved from those made in the 90s and 00s. We can feel a contemporary vibe here and it is refreshing.

What I liked : No downtime, lots of emotions and twists. Intense.

What I didn't like : bad CGI at some points

Greenland is a raw, tension-filmes disaster film that showcases both the noble and dark sides of human nature, when everyone knows the end of the world is near.

With spectacular visuals and an emotional narrative that is framed by the harrowing experiences of one family, this movie should definitely be enjoyed on the Big screen

The planet is about to be destroyed by an asteroid and we only have x hours before it strikes. I expected them to call Bruce Willis again to do some off-world digging but he must be under house arrest.

We're following Gerard Butler and his family as they try to get to a safe place in Greenland while the world around them turns into chaos. Other people seem to put more efforts into looting shops for toilet paper or holding end-of-the-world parties making their route a bit like the Road.

Gerard trying to save his family and driving his ridiculously oversized car through meteoroids: it's all forget-about-corona-for-two-hours mindless fun!

Positive:

• emotions and tension instead of pure doomsday
• the focus is on the human scale of a crisis, which makes this a realistic feeling rarity of a disaster film
• strong main actor pair

Negative:

• too many plot twists and always new obstacles to overcome
• in some moments a bit rough
• not consistently convincing CGI effects
• unfortunately genre-typical heroic towards the end.

A film about an extinction level asteroid event which lead the protagonists and the rest of the humans to search for shelter and the chaos that comes with it. Film is running with a good pace overall and will keep you on edge. But the script is average, the chaos created is something that you have seen in so many similar movies and the idea is far from novel. Also some of the scenes in there just dot make sense or they feel a bit stupid. Luckily most of the acting is ok, the score and the visuals are ok so it constitutes an ok movie to watch-but don't expect to be blown away with this film. 6/10
