Watched "Greenland". Doesn't add anything new to the catastrophic events genre, yet it was the perfect movie to watch amid the coronavirus pandemic. Sitting in a sparsely populated movie theater, wearing my facemask, I was thinking "it could be so much worse!"

In in very short words:
If you liked these kind of end of the world movies from the 90s, you gonna enjoy this one. The main cast is pretty good and even the smaller roles do a good job. The story is pretty intense and has some nice twists and surprises. Story is a bit predictable und unrealistic at times, but what do you expect? CGI effects range from okay to pretty bad at times, but it doesn't bother too much.
Definitely worth a watch. 6.5 out of 10

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

Lot of end of the world movies follow the same storyline but this one had that little extra. Felt like the way they handled this was more realistic, so in a way 'scarier'. I usually like seeing a lot of the destruction and action itself but I definitely recommend watching it

You know the scenes where you go "oh come on, why in hell would anyone do that ?!". Well, this movie is packed with characters having poor judgment and taking the most idiotic decisions possible (and being hysterical), and it's all done for the sole purpose of generating obstacles and create tension.
And it works ! It does create a lot tension, but it's all aimed towards the scenarists, for blatantly taking you for an imbecile.
You'll very quickly find yourself wishing for the death of some of the main characters, which would make things so much better, but then the movie would last only 15/20 minutes.

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!

A decent end of the world movie that deals with what would happen on the ground.
Follows one family, and their interactions with other desperate people.
Reasonable acting, and nice special effects.
Worth watching.

Nevermind the bad reviews! This movie is awesome. I swear people are so hard to please these days. This film definitely had my heart racing. It got extremely intense there several times. This has to be one of my favorite disaster flicks. Deep Impact eat your heart out. I highly recommend giving this movie a watch. 8 stars 👍👍

This movie is a classic end-of-the-world hero flick that ticks all the right boxes. Of course, Gerard Butler is awesome and although there are no surprises when it comes to the main plot, enough unpredictable events happen to keep you entertained on the edge of your seat.
