Greenland

Lot of end of the world movies follow the same storyline but this one had that little extra. Felt like the way they handled this was more realistic, so in a way 'scarier'. I usually like seeing a lot of the destruction and action itself but I definitely recommend watching it

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.

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

A revival of those 70s disaster films is what we have in Greenland. Who would have thought that large frozen island up north would be mankind's last hope for survival.

There's a large planet destroying comet headed our way and as it hits the atmosphere it burns up and breaks up. The first fragment flattens the Tampa-St.Petersburg area with accompanying firestorms. Is tis how itended for the dinosaurs?

Apparently some plans were made for such an event because engineer Gerard Butler has been chosen in a lottery to be marked for survival. So are his family which is wife Morena Beccarin and son Roger Dale Floyd. The best scenes in Greenland are between these people acting and functioning as a real family not some television type family unit.

You can make plans, but things often don't go to plan. Especially in a situation where blind panic takes over. This is the drama of Greenland, one man's family and their struggle.

Nice computer generated special effects are here for those who lay their money down to see such stuff. But a good story gets me and Greenland has a good story.

Not the best of disasterfilms, still a good one.

A decent end of the world movie that deals with what would happen on the ground. Follows one family, and their interactions with other desperate people. Reasonable acting, and nice special effects.

Worth watching.
