I ‘m loath to jump on a bandwagon, but I am excited about Greenland…2.
Greenland 2.
Y’ know, Gerard Butler’s follow-up to 2020’s Greenland opposite Morena Baccarin, the one in which he’s a father, and structural engineer, and there’s a comet headed straight for Earth but marketed as a nothing-to-worry-about, and it hits, and it’s bad and life-challenging, if not -wiping, but he and his family, including his diabetic young son, have to book it for Greenland, pre-selected to help develop the post-interstellar new world or else…perish on the way to there.
In this follow-up, the Garritys are forced to leave their safe heaven, as it proves limited in the face of an altered landscape, and shoot their shot with a Hail Mary uncharted journey to the European crater site, an urban legend among unsheltered survivors.
Sounds like movie fun to me. A big escape with special effects that render the unimaginable sharper into focus. A moment in which hope reigns supreme in the end.
Ric Roman Waugh’s Greenland 2: Migration, the rare sequel with something to add (and smartly explore – the post-apocalypse disaster-movie subgenre has gone woefully underimagined), is now in theatres.
