A family fights for survival as a planet-killing comet races to Earth. John Garrity, his estranged wife Allison, and young son Nathan make a perilous journey to their only hope for sanctuary. Amid terrifying news accounts of cities around the world being leveled by the comet’s fragments, the Garritys experience the best and worst in humanity while they battle the increasing panic and lawlessness surrounding them.

Greenland is one of those movies that I probably should have watched on a cinema screen, considering that as a disaster movie this a special effects heavy movie. A lot of the effects used in Greenland certainly would have had a better impact on my if I had caught this in the cinema. I did like the satellite shot as the comet fragment hits earth was an interesting touch. While watching this I was reminded a little of’ Roland Emmerich’s 2009 movie 2012.
For those of you who might be interested Gerrard Butler previously worked with Ric Roman Waugh on the 2019 movie Angel has Fallen, also it should be noted that Greenland is the second disaster movie starring Gerard Butler, the other being Geostorm. Greenland is only barely better then Geostorm, both movies may indeed be forgettable movies, Geostorm is probably the only movie of the two that I wish that I have not seen. Gerard Butler gave exactly the kind of performance for this kind of movie, this left me wondering is Greenland a Gerard Butler movie or a Movie starring Gerard Butler? Considering that very little was done to make me want to care about what happened to John Garrity and his family this just might be a Gerard Butler movie. However, I did enjoy Scott Glenn’s performance as John Garrity’s father-in-law Dale. Glenn had a great moment with Butler that would have been better suited earlier in the movie.
