Plot: The surviving Garrity family (Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin, & Roman Griffin Davis) must leave the safety of the Greenland bunker and embark on a perilous journey across the decimated frozen wasteland of Europe to find a new home.
A Whole New …Greenland!
The Garrity family was on a courageous quest for a brave new world in this film, embodying the struggle for hope and transformation. When they finally arrived at their destination, it felt reminiscent of searching for the Wizard in the enchanting and tranquil land of Oz—an experience that was both captivating and visually stunning. After six long years, it’s exciting to see this sequel being made, as the anticipation has built up over time. However, I found myself struggling to recall the specific details and themes of the first film, as well as its ending, which made it difficult to fully engage with the storyline of this sequel.
Nathan
Nathan, the son of John and Allison, grappled with a reality far more daunting than the mere specter of an apocalyptic end—he was diabetic. This condition cast a dark shadow over his already precarious existence in a world fraught with danger and isolation. Despite his keen intellect, Nathan often found himself ensnared in moments of panic, a completely natural reaction to the turmoil enveloping him. Yet, even amid chaos, he resolved to adapt and thrive, drawing strength from his convictions. His unwavering commitment to stand up for what he believed to be right showcased not only his resilience but also his deep sense of morality.
The Vulnerability
However, in the terrifying moments when comets streaked across the sky, wreaking havoc and destruction, Nathan’s vulnerable side emerged. Those heart-stopping instances forced him to summon every ounce of courage he possessed—to flee alongside his parents and confront the overwhelming force of nature. It was in that crucible of fear and uncertainty that the true strength of his character shone through, revealing both his fierce determination and his profound humanity.
Farewell
Once the close of the film had arrived, it was a bittersweet goodbye as we had to say goodbye to a major character, but the things that parents will do for their children, their family, is never anything short of spectacular. The Garrity family is and will always be survivors in my estimation.
I absolutely loved this movie. It made me jump twice. I’m glad that they followed the original story. I’m sad and I cried at the end. I wish it was a little longer, but hey, I LOVED it.
I think you meant to post this under my “Primate” review. Am I right? Or no?
Definitely not!!! I LOVED Greenland 2!!
Definitely not to what exactly? U lost me here!
You asked me did I mean to comment under your Primate review what I comment under your Greenland review and I said definitely not.
So, it was in errror then? I will remove it and you can re-post then if you’d like because I was a tad but perplexed at your comment thinking you were referencing another particular film.
Having rewatched the first film a day prior to venturing out for the sequel, I can say if the first movie gave you anxiety, this one delivers “tear fireworks.” It is far more emotional and heavily focused on the family’s sheer exhaustion. However, I found myself less invested because the family seemed implausibly lucky at every turn; that “luck factor,” combined with a fairly predictable plot, made the “impending doom” feel less earned.
If they would got rid foreshadowing ***spoiler*** death, would’ve made it better and finding out what killed *** in ways of flashbacks upon that major character’s death would’ve been a better payoff emotionally. This was not an action movie, but a dramatic one with a little sci-fi chaos thrown in.
Very true.
This was really good. Dealt with a lot of elements and put together really well in a short span of time unlike many other movies. I liked this better than the first.
I did like this one more.
