Naukowcy nie mają wątpliwości: Ziemia nie zdoła uniknąć zderzenia ze zbliżającą się do niej potężną kometą, a jego skutki będą katastrofalne. Wybitny inżynier John Garrity i jego rodzina są w grupie wybrańców, którym władze zaoferowały bezpieczne schronienie w położonym na odludziu tajnym bunkrze. Większość społeczeństwa nie otrzymuje takiej szansy. Podczas gdy fragmenty rozpadającej się komety niszczą miasta i zabijają tysiące ludzi, świat pogrąża się w chaosie. Wybuchają zamieszki, rozboje są na porządku dziennym, a służby tracą kontrolę nad sytuacją. W takich okolicznościach dotarcie na miejsce ewakuacji staje się śmiertelnie niebezpiecznym wyzwaniem. Moment decydującego uderzenia zbliża się nieubłaganie. John jest gotów na wszystko, by ocalić swoją żonę i kochanego syna. Najbliższe kilkanaście godzin zdecyduje o wszystkim. (Monolith)

It has its weaker moments (the entire final half-hour is such a clichéd Hollywood construct, completely different in mood from the previous realistic action), but otherwise it's far from Geostorm and similar recent bullshit. It's a believable look at human behaviour in extreme situations, when a planetary catastrophe brings to the surface their egotism and low instincts. The special effects are sparse, but the ominous sights of the changing sky has an unsettling charm and visually it really looks good and believable. But I expected it, Ric Roman Waugh is a smart guy, he's done it a few times already, and his latest film so far certainly doesn't deserve to be in the blue.

A comet is heading for Earth and Gerard Butler must save his family. Not the world or civilization, just his family. On the surface, Greenland is a very ordinary disaster movie, but what makes it different from the others is that it revolves around ordinary people trying to survive. Nothing more. Solid actors, very brisk pace and well built tension. Nothing too new, but above average entertainment.

A down-to-earth disaster nail-biter with an unexpectedly realistic first half. After the excellent first hour it jumps feet first into the realm of Hollywood and things start to work miraculously. Vaughn approaches this in the same way as Seňor Spielberg in War of the Worlds, concentrating on an ordinary family with Butler in the role of a dad chosen to survive. It chugs along marvelously and there’s always something happening. Surprisingly, the government does what it should; the other characters are not one-dimensional; the powerful scenes with fire raining down and blast waves work splendidly. Movies like this a needed in this day and age; it makes you realize that things could be much, much worse. Covid is nothing in comparison to Clark.

After a long time, a more expensive and bigger film, which is a pleasure in the current crisis, and also the fact that disaster films are like saffron. Greenland has solid visuals, decent pacing, Gerard Butler performing to his standard, and there’s plenty of suspense. The film is mainly a road movie about saving a family, the actual VFX attractions are a bit less, but when it comes to them, it's definitely worth it. Story***, Action****, Humor**, Violence**, Entertainment****, Music****, Visuals****, Atmosphere****, Suspense****. 7/10.

Greenland is a likably simple depiction of the sudden destruction of the world by a hail of asteroids. How it might happen, how mortals would react to it and how difficult it would be for the lucky ones (read: “the chosen ones”) to get into shelters. It is a disaster thriller with a more modest budget, shot in digital and with more emphasis on the characters. Unfortunately, those characters are placed in the most clichéd relationship context imaginable – an estranged couple who are brought together by their son (the exposition is handled through a rip-off of War of the Worlds). The visual effects and action sequences are excellent, and I was particularly pleased with the aerial shots of Greenland in the ending, as that land is numero uno in my traveler’s heart where natural wonders are concerned (I don’t want to spoil it).
