Film about a planet-killer comet goes for drama over disaster. It doesn’t exactly work.

Rating: (1.5 stars)
If you’re looking for an excellent internalized drama in the guise of a disaster flick, I suggest that you watch “The Midnight Sky” on Netflix.
“Greenland,” on the other hand — a middlebrow, moderate-budget action adventure starring Gerard Butler as a man trying to save his marriage, his son and his life from a disintegrating “planet-killer” comet that is heading straight for Earth — feels like something of a bait-and-switch.
