Destruição Final: O Último Refúgio

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

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.

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!

Watched "Greenland". Doesn't add anything new to the catastrophic events genre, yet it was the perfect movie to watch amid the coronavirus pandemic. Sitting in a sparsely populated movie theater, wearing my facemask, I was thinking "it could be so much worse!"
