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 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
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!

Greenland is a raw, tension-filmes disaster film that showcases both the noble and dark sides of human nature, when everyone knows the end of the world is near.
With spectacular visuals and an emotional narrative that is framed by the harrowing experiences of one family, this movie should definitely be enjoyed on the Big screen

- TriviaThe comet is named "Clarke," in a tribute to the late Arthur C. Clarke, author of the 1993 novel "Hammer of God," which describes the impact on Earth of a planet-killing asteroid. The novel predates the movies Armageddon (1998) and Deep Impact (1998), which deal with similar events. And the novel "Lucifer's Hammer" written by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, was written in 1977, and predates Clarke's novel.
- GoofsDuring the first explosion at the house, windows are breaking all over; in the next scene inside the house, there are no broken windows anywhere. Again at Grandpa's house, there is an explosion and broken windows, but inside the house where Nathan is, there are no broken windows.

Nathan Garrity: My friend Teddy says your life flashes in front of your eyes when you die. I think it would be better if it did that while you lived. That way, you could see all the good memories and be happy.
Nathan Garrity: Why's it not happening? Why's my life not flashing before my eyes?
