Greenland 2: Migration is a series of baffling explanations of events centered on one, cursed family. I recommend skipping the first Greenland because everything built in that movie is torn down in the first 10 minutes of this movie, making the entire migration an exercise in confusion. The absolute worst part of this movie is how cursed this family is, or I should say how cursed everyone is around them. A structure may stand for 2,000 years before this family shows up, and then it all falls down. Everyone dies around them. Meteors from the sky alter their trajectory to fall towards them. Any minor character in this movie could do the world a favor and refuse to help them in their journey to hasten the extinction of mankind. Regarding the extinction of mankind, it never happened. The first Greenland led us to believe that the only refuge from a life ending comet was a bunker in Greenland. Everyone wanted to get there in time, and it was quite well done for a disaster movie. Well, the joke was on them. People all over the world survived including folks right next to the impact crater. The 2000 mile per hour blast wave and resulting rain of fiery rock particles across the globe left entire cities, forests, and armies intact. Finding insulin for type 1 diabetes is no longer a problem nor is food, gasoline, tires, or ammunition. Mysterious radiation storms are a problem and in the tradition of lazy filmmaking, they are never explained and only shown at a distance. So what can you expect the actors to do with this garbage? For the dad of this family, the solution is to drop any pretense of an American accent and go full native. For the mom, it’s all about looking understanding. For the kid, it’s all about pretending like you won’t have to spend the rest of your life farming and hunting for insulin. Everyone else just needs to look shocked as they die horribly.

This film had me experiencing full‑blown time distortion, every minute felt stretched thin. I wasn’t expecting brilliance, but the result was still shockingly poor. The storytelling is clumsy, and the relentless wave of destruction shadowing this family pushes the whole thing into unintentional parody.

Greetings from Lithuania. "Greenland 2: Migration" (2026) is a sequel to a surprisingly good film that came in 2020. I've highly original one (saw it like 3 times), and this sequel didn't disappointed me. It is not as good one as the first one, but it is a solid if predictable continuation of the story, We are once again following Garrity family for a quest to find a better day and not only survive to but to live. This film has few very well made white-knuckle sequences, special effects were very good considering the solid budget it had. Set design was great. Acting is good and the good director Ric Roman Waugh makes it most out of the story. Overall, I've enjoyed this movie for what it is - a solid survival quest movie with great setting, solid acting and fast pacing. At it's running time 1 h 35 min it doesn't drag and is a solid watch.

You could do worse, but you could definitely do a whole lot better. This one is just fine as far as movies go.

Aucun intérêt, des effets spéciaux dignes des années 90. Le premier opus est meilleur, c'est pour dire l'ampleur du désastre

One of the most awful movies I have ever seen. So ridiculously stupid, corny and pathetic. I wonder if anybody human really wrote it, or was just some AI generated slop. Or maybe, is this the reason we need AI if this was written by a human. Just painful.

**** the migration theme, of course it is woke, and no masculinity to be found.

Just a wast of time, weak plot and diretion. Half of things they get dont make anysense. Seems easy to have a car and full fiel in an apocalictip world. The main actor did hold the movie for a bit and his wife, the rest was just not the same level. Dont recomend.

Greenland 2: Migration shifts its focus from a human-centered disaster to a sci-fi catastrophe—a thematic pivot that holds potential in theory. However, the screenplay lacks the sincerity of its predecessor, and its repetitive, pilgrimage-like narrative structure struggles to resonate emotionally with the audience.

Where did they get the gas, food, electricity, clean water, soap, guns, bullets? What business is still making that stuff, and how do they get it to the surviving people without getting hijacked? A complete waste of time.

(Mauro Lanari) As amusement park and cruise revenues have been driving the Disney group's turnover more than films since 2022 (60/40%), the new CEO Josh D'Amaro was selected from that area: a theme park in the Emirates and 13 new cruise ships. Lionsgate is also adapting: the more over-the-top this sequel is, the more credible it becomes. This is the key difference compared to 6 years ago. Perhaps before, the crater waters would have been miraculous like those in "Cocoon," but things have changed. An ultimate trashy flick with great contempt for the ridiculous. 4½

Went in with very low expectations based on the reviews, but this is much better than what people are saying imo. Not amazing, but a decent enough time with a few heartfelt moments throughout.

Greenland 2: Migration starts with a thankless challenge: continuing a film that had an impact at a very specific moment. The first feature, released in 2020, spoke directly to a world in collapse, in isolation, and gripped by uncertainty. Five years later, the sequel attempts to expand this universe into a post-apocalyptic reconstruction scenario, but ends up stumbling precisely on what made its predecessor work. The result is a film that focuses more on the journey and spectacle than on emotional construction, delivering functional but generic and significantly less impactful **** film reveals itself to be a sequel that does not fully understand the strength of its predecessor. By exchanging intimacy for scale, emotion for displacement, and tension for spectacle, the film loses its identity and impact. There are still effective moments of action and entertainment that may appeal to less demanding fans of the disaster movie subgenre, but that is not enough to justify its **** is a sequel that not only fails to surpass the original, but also shows that perhaps it did not need to continue. The change in approach is noticeable, especially for those who revisit the 2020 film before this sequel. It lacks urgency, depth, and emotional involvement. What remains are a few good isolated scenes, a dramatically underutilized cast, and the feeling that the saga finds a conclusion here that is more functional than memorable.

Wow, even worse than its predecessor! The main protagonist and his family aren't too bad, as is the French father with the sickly wife. The french daughter however is appalling…it was like she was totally unaware of what was happening in the film and was just pleased to be on set! The editing was very poor throughout, and the direction wasn’t much better. Why didn't they care about the people they lived with for 5 years in a banker? There was no mention of the kids diabetes apart from near the start of the film? Overall it was saved by some good sets, though not enough to ever want to watch it again!

I liked this film. More of the same from the first film, but still entertaining to the end.

The original Greenland was excellent - a classic disaster movie with good characters and great plot twists. As disaster movies go, its plot was plausible and the suspense was maintained throughout the movie. This sequel is farcical with a far-fetched plot that requires you to suspend your beliefs at every turn. It does a poor job of linking up to the original movie. These people have been living in an underground bunker for five years - how did that go? No explanation - and how did these ordinary people all of a sudden become leaders of this government-run organization? No explanation. And is it really possible to float 1,600 miles from Greenland to England after running out of gas halfway there? With no food or water? And that all happens in about three minutes - voila we're in Liverpool. People show up out of nowhere to either kill them or help them - it's like Mr. Magoo walking through a hellscape. I would have given this a worse review if not for the introduction of a French family 2/3 of the way through - only then did I even start to care remotely about this movie. This is one of these movies where they narrowly and implausibly escape disaster at every time. And they just string these scenes together and call it a movie. High expectations going in based on the original - very disappointing result.

"Greenland 2: Migration" is a solid but somewhat reheated sequel that doesn't carry the emotional weight is predecessor had but still thrilling nonetheless. Back in 2020, when the first "Greenland" film was released, there was a cruel irony to a film about a global catastrophe turning the world upside down, released during the summer when everyone was under lockdown due to a pandemic. That first film was a surprisingly effective disaster film, capturing the destruction of our reality through nail-biting tension and very plain but effective drama. "Greenland 2: Migration in many ways is attempting to bring that same paranoia, but to an even larger canvas filled with emotions and stakes at an all-time high, and the results are a mixed bag. The sequel still has set pieces that are as thrilling as ever and an admirable if unsubtle message about leaving a better world behind for our future generations in the midst of “the new normal,” but the film’s repetitive structure and repeated beats from the first keep it from hitting the emotional highs it wants so desperately to reach. Still, even though 2020’s "Greenland" remains the more effective implementation of these themes, "Greenland 2: Migration" is a decent enough sequel that brings back what works while also conveying undercooked but effective disaster film fare. The story picks up five years after the events of the first film, when the crashing of comet Clarke into the Earth caused nearly the entire planet to be destroyed. The Garrity family of John (Gerard Butler), Allison (Morena Baccarin), and their teen son Nathan (Roman Griffin Davis) have been living underground with others lucky enough to survive for the past five years amidst the continued destruction of the world, adjusting to what they see as a “new normal.” Aside from John’s occasional trips outside to find resources for their bunker or Allison’s work to find others outside that might need their assistance, the Garrity’s have adjusted to their new lives until a massive earthquake destroys the bunker, leading many to fend for themselves in another fight for survival. With no home to go to, the Garrity’s must venture across the now ravaged world to Europe in the hopes of finding the long-rumored crater left by the comet that is said to be where a fresh start for the world could take place. Admittedly, the issues with this are apparent from the moment its story gets into motion. Even when putting aside how, in basic structure, it is essentially repeating many of the first film’s narrative beats as a technical road trip adventure to a potential sanctuary, the sequel itself is mostly a series of the Garritys meeting a good soul who helps them on their journey before a disaster or occurrence happens that sends them in another direction. It never fully collapses the narrative strokes the film is going for, but the repetition can often make things a bit stale in between the film’s major sequences. Just like with its predecessor, the film shines throughout many of its key disaster setpieces amidst more cliche plot beats. Nearly every set piece in this outing is filled with electric propulsion, where the scale of each disaster manages to be bigger than the first in almost every manner. Director Ric Roman Waugh has nailed a lot of the hallmarks of what makes disaster pieces work well. The innovation between sequences of the Garrity’s making their way through the sea to board lifeboats with limited space after the destruction of what they called home for five years, crossing caravans with ladders and ropes, with the film’s blaring score ringing throughout, makes for a never-ending, stressful experience. Even more questionable scenes, that don’t involve disasters like unexpected shootings occurring throughout their journey, are great, with the action remaining the ultimate highlight of this sequel. Surrounding the entirety of the journey, though, is the sequel’s obvious parallel to the COVID-19 pandemic and its ultimate message of hope within such a bleak environment. Throughout the film, many deaths or cruelties the Garrity’s witness aren’t even from the storms, debris, and hellish winds they face, but rather from regular people just like them, still fighting amongst themselves even in the worst of circumstances. In all fairness, there are many points where the film is at times laughably blunt about this (especially towards its conclusion), and the commentary present isn’t exactly revolutionary to witness, but it does deliver a great roundabout theming to these two films. Reflecting upon our own landscape with a message that’s admirable amidst a parallel world. While "Greenland 2: Migration" acts as a reheated version of previously treaded ground in the first through many portions of its runtime, it has enough compact sequences that up the ante in the scale of its stakes and destruction, and offers an emotionally satisfying message for the hope of our own future even in the worst of circumstances.

Another of Gerard Butler's decent if not spectacular films I consider his 2018 action-thriller submarine movie, Hunter Killer, a near perfect film. Greenland 2 has a decent script. I especially appreciate the well thought out and executed foreshadowings. The script handles the "long middle" problem with new characters we care about who move the story forward. The acting is decent including many minor characters done with commitment. The VFX are above average. The main negative for me is the over-use of shakey-cam cinematography. This is not Children of Men where shakey-cam fits with the story. Here it interferes with and detracts from the epic quality of G2. My eyes did not know where to focus too many times, could not focus on what was supposed to be seen. The third act is serviceable and more hopeful than most dystopia flicks.

Gerard’s the man. Morrena’s the loml but this movie is top 2 worst I’ve ever seen tied with Charlie and the chocolate factory.
