Greenland

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

The new movie Greenland will make you sick. And I cannot recommend it highly enough.

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.

It's as if the film knows what we know, or what we've learnt in lockdown. That even in the face of chaos and disaster on a worldwide scale, it's the personal stuff that counts.

If you love disaster movies because they're a guilty pleasure, this one might offer some challenges. Greenland is actually unsettling, if you care to read its darker meanings.

While [director Ric Roman] Waugh couldn't quite rescue Butler's last film, Angel Has Fallen, from the violent ugliness of its franchise, he at least injected it with a little self-awareness.

This disaster film is contrived and nonsensical with very few redeeming features.

Greenland may not add anything fresh or new to the very over-done genre of disaster movies, yet it provides two hours of fun and entertaining escapism. Gerard Butler is better than he's been in a while.

In the end, Greenland is predictably underwhelming, packing only a couple of genuinely exciting sequences, and a decent cast.

Butler’s most affecting performance in years... Greenland presents the end of the world as we know it in a mighty fine and entertaining way.
