You will forget about COVID-19 for 2 hours.
Watched "Greenland". Doesn't add anything new to the catastrophic events genre, yet it was the perfect movie to watch amid the coronavirus pandemic. Sitting in a sparsely populated movie theater, wearing my facemask, I was thinking "it could be so much worse!"
Where's Bruce Willis when you need him?
The planet is about to be destroyed by an asteroid and we only have x hours before it strikes. I expected them to call Bruce Willis again to do some off-world digging but he must be under house arrest.
We're following Gerard Butler and his family as they try to get to a safe place in Greenland while the world around them turns into chaos. Other people seem to put more efforts into looting shops for toilet paper or holding end-of-the-world parties making their route a bit like the Road.
Gerard trying to save his family and driving his ridiculously oversized car through meteoroids: it's all forget-about-corona-for-two-hours mindless fun!
Worth a watch
Lot of end of the world movies follow the same storyline but this one had that little extra. Felt like the way they handled this was more realistic, so in a way 'scarier'. I usually like seeing a lot of the destruction and action itself but I definitely recommend watching it
Exactly what I wanted to see
This movie is a classic end-of-the-world hero flick that ticks all the right boxes. Of course, Gerard Butler is awesome and although there are no surprises when it comes to the main plot, enough unpredictable events happen to keep you entertained on the edge of your seat.
Intense!
We went tonight, my girlfriend and I, as two people who likes this kind of movies and we loved it.
English is not my native language so I will keep it short : this is a well made apocalypse movie that evolved from those made in the 90s and 00s. We can feel a contemporary vibe here and it is refreshing.
What I liked : No downtime, lots of emotions and twists. Intense.
What I didn't like : bad CGI at some points
