The result is a first-rate B-picture, and a timely reminder of the delights of well-crafted popcorn thrills. Go to Full Review

4/5
Butler's best star vehicle in years, what could have been a bombastic bunch of boulders is, instead, a refreshingly clear-eyed and compelling affair. One of the best disaster movies in years. Go to Full Review

Greenland is shockingly worth your time. It feels weird to say that about a Gerard Butler film, but it manages to spin just enough of its own apocalyptic yarn to differentiate itself from its contemporaries. Go to Full Review

4/5
If it separates itself from more generic fare, it's because it focuses on a particular family and not on ten thousand different characters, and because it places great emphasis on the emotional tragedy they find themselves in. [Full review in Spanish]. Go to Full Review

Samuel H @RT37554111 2 days ago One of worst movie I ever watch and making a sandwich while it is apocalypse and having a chance to go to plane to save your life and instead go back to get the medicine and I am sure military has meds like pain killer for his son. Overall everything about this movies is so bad and the acting was horrible especially why would you save your ex wife who treat him so bad from the beginning. I stop watching when they about to abort to the plane to save there life instead going back just for this son medicine ridiculous See more Paul S @PManRager 2 days ago It's not the most original apocalypse story, but it was still incredibly intriguing and ripe with intense moments that'll leave anyone hooked. I definitely recommend this for action, thriller, sci-fi, and disaster movie fans! See more Benjamin W @Code70 Sep 7, 2026 Certainly a solid disaster flick. I had heard good things about Greenland. That it was better than most disaster movies out there. And uhh, yeah, I can confirm, that is true. I don’t love it the way others do, nor do I think it’s quite AS gripping as I’ve seen some claim; I do think it falls into generic territory at times, and is at times a tad too dramatic for my taste. But all things considered, being dramatic in this kind of situation isn’t the craziest thing ever, and it uses its genres cliches rather well. Gerald Butler’s character is interesting enough, and you buy into and become invested in this family, and the consequences that this disaster ultimately brings to the world. I think it meanders a little in the second act, and the actual disaster doesn’t really happen until the third. But the material is compelling enough to stand on its own without it, the majority of the time. Yeah, this was solid. Not amazing, but an entertaining, fairly compelling disaster flick. See more Tom K @tomtom13 Sep 6, 2026 C'mon 10 minutes in and I'm already sick and tired of messaging by Hollywood, yet another family that is divorced etc etc. C'mon you could have at least pick a kid that is remotely resembling the dad. Leme guess movie got an old divorced had on the writing team that needed to make it "more believable". See more Chase G @Mr_Swayze Aug 17, 2026 Love the concept. Great journey of twists. Good ending See more Dean E @RT46102930 Aug 4, 2026 Great movie, entertaining See more Read all reviews
