Review: 'Greenland' focuses on human side of a global disaster
Gerard Butler stars as a husband and father trying to get his family to safety after a comet wipes out most of humanity
In "Greenland," a comet from outer space crashes to Earth causing an extinction level event, so it's not quite the holiday pick-me-up as, say, "Mariah Carey's Magical Christmas Special."
The best parts of this action epic are the ways in which it scales down and brings its global terror home; in a way, "Greenland" is a domestic drama in the guise of a disaster movie. It begins with a bang, but a flabby midsection and a few too many unlikely coincidences dull its overall impact.
