Greenland Ratings & Reviews
- jackmeatApril 4, 2025My quick rating - 6.6/10. I personally enjoyed this one a lot. It was a good use of coincidence and bringing something that is plausible to occur. I also believe there are black spots like this now and ready to be used if need be. Who knows. Gerald Butler is the father who is doing everything he can to get his family to safety when an apocalyptic event is on its way. And when this meteor hits the Earth, it is all over unless you are chosen to be filtered into these bunkers to rebuild the planet after the annihilation. This movie focuses on getting there at all costs and avoiding everyone who is NOT chosen as well. Overall, it was just really well done, from scenes and locations to camera work, down to the individual characters they meet along the way. It definitely would've done well at the box office as it had all you would need for a semi-successful flick. Check it out when you get a chance; you would be let down.
- Brandon AkeyApril 23, 2026It was okay. It had its moments.
- Tyler CampbellJanuary 21, 2026The US ceded interest in Greenland officially, on paper, in the Treaty of The Danish West Indies in 1917, giving up any claim to the country and accepting Danish sovereignty over it, in exchange for what is now the US Virgin Islands.. Oh sorry, that's not what this movie is about. Greenland, the movie, is a decent end-of-the-world flick with Gerard Butler. A large comet is coming toward earth and everyone has been anxiously awaiting its benign atmospheric break up. Except that the government, for the first time in history, has lied to its people. The comet is actually going to destroy most life on the planet and only some have been chosen to get to a bunker 🤷 It's not a massive absurd action flick like 2012 with John Cusack driving a limousine over an actively crumbling city during tectonic disintegration. So don't go in expecting that. Greenland does a great job in the first half, drawing on the dread and panic that would happen in the event of an extinction level event. Although action is present, it focuses more on the human components. For me, it lost its steam somewhere along the way. But it's still worth a watch. The child is a pretty bad actor and was some okay accidental comedic relief as a result. I was happy to see Greenland 2 has the kid from Jojo Rabbit replacing him. I'll check it out.
- Dan DeaseDecember 26, 2025Good movie. Wasn’t over the top with special effects and Doomsday. Made you think about some things. Definitely worth a watch. Looking forward to the sequel.
- James SaenzApril 12, 2026the most middling a disaster film can be; not bad, but not memorable, and by virtue of its forgettable nature it’s ultimately far less interesting than its premise. it hits all of the same beats that past disaster films have, but lacks any originality in the filmmaking or storytelling. it’s carried by the leads’ performances, and yet i’ll probably forget a majority of it by tomorrow.
- Patrick WaiDecember 21, 2025The movie was better the first time around. With Greenland 2 coming out soon decided to re-watch this. For some reason just couldn't really get into it - there was just no emotional connection with the characters. I don't think casting Gerard Butler was the right choice... he just seems a little unhinged, as if he can blow at any time. It's always fun to see how the Director shows the end of the world.
- LynneFebruary 1, 2026This movie caught me be surprise. It is packed with unexpected thrills.
- Karin e BorisMarch 23, 2026Quite distressing (and desirable).
- Walter Jospeh KovacsFebruary 5, 2026The film serves as poignant metaphor for the collapse of American society. The comet crashing into Earth represents the moral cleansing of the vacuous evil that is US fascism masquerading as corporate greed. Greenland represents the last refuge of humanity's dignity, a haven to be exploited by Americans unable to escape the tyrannical mindset of settler-colonialism. The insulin is a reminder of diabetes, the modern scourge of fat and greedy Americans. The wristwatch that the father wears helps him tell the time and the plane, helps people get places quicker than by land.
- seankirkhouseFebruary 8, 2026Intense and great story
- Marshall MooreFebruary 8, 2026Very good movie
- garysalterFebruary 7, 2026Very good. I hope 2 is good too.
- CoougeFebruary 1, 2026They feel special, until they’re not, then they got lucky until the end.
- anthonylittle594March 22, 2026I love this movie! Gerard Butler is superb.
- Zbigniew CzachorFebruary 19, 2026We have survived!
