Idm an apocolypse movie here and there. Slightly unrealistic though.

There is literally nothing redeeming about this film. One dimensional characters. Predictable plot. Poor special effects. Clearly written and directeded by blokes. The only reason that I kept watching was because i was curious if it could get any worse, didn't disappoint in this department

Yeah, not bad... not riveting. A bit far fetched in places but I've seen worse.

Ratings were high so I thought it would maybe be passable. Skipped a good 20 minutes of nothing at the start. Unnecessarily long, could have skipped more and it wouldn't have made a difference. 4/10 at best if you don't mind turning your brain off for almost two whole hours.

Inverse

If this isn't exactly how the end of the world will happen, the way [Greenland's] characters learn about the film's cataclysm at least feels eerily believable.

Observer (UK)

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.

Film Focus Online

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.
