Greenland Review: Epic Destruction Saves Gerard Butler's Weepy Disaster Flick
Greenland Review: Epic Destruction Saves Gerard Butler's Weepy Disaster Flick
An architect races against time to shelter his family from a comet's impact in Greenland, on demand from STX Films.
Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin race against the apocalypse in the middling disaster thriller,
Greenland. The film is loaded with eye candy. Desperate people running for their lives, cities blown to cinders, and the requisite countdown to extinction; ticking away in the background. The elements are there for gritty popcorn cinema. But the narrative is torpedoed by sappy melodrama and contrived plot twists.
