STXfilms presents a film directed by Ric Roman Waugh and written by Chris Sparling. Rated PG-13 (for intense sequences of disaster action, some violence, bloody images and brief strong language). Running time: 119 minutes. Available Friday on demand. Now, just in time for escapist holiday home viewing, Butler gives a grounded everyman performance as the obligatory family man who has to rise to the action-hero occasion when a natural catastrophe threatens the very future of the world in Ric Roman Waugh’s well-crafted and surprisingly humanistic thriller “Greenland.” Unlike the typical, effects-laden, comet-threatens-the-planet B-movie, “Greenland” is more in the vein of Steven Spielberg’s “War of the Worlds,” with the scenes of chaos and destruction serving as the backdrop for the story of one family’s desperate quest for survival even when circumstances have ripped them apart.
