Destruição Final: O Último Refúgio

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!"

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

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!

Though this story is intense, I feel very annoyed by a series of poor decisions by the lead couple. I couldn't empathise with the family, and hence couldn't get into the story.

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.
