Full review: https://movieswetextedabout.com/greenland-2-migration-movie-review-gerard-butler-shines-in-a-superior-sequel/ Rating: B- "Greenland 2: Migration is the first surprise of the year, standing out as a remarkable evolution of the original by swapping repetitive melodrama for a more tactical and emotionally engaging survival narrative. While not free of visual hiccups or script conveniences, the sequel compensates with robust performances and direction that knows how to value the scale of desolation. It’s an immersive experience that proves that even when the world ends, there’s still room to find new paths amidst the rubble, as long as we’re willing to walk forward instead of constantly checking the rearview mirror."

There's no keeping a good disaster movie down, with "Greenland 2" rounding out a family tale of survival, against the odds. Whilst the second outing wont win any awards, there's enough on offer here by way of over the top action, thrills and a compellingly heartfelt, back story, to make this film an entertaining watch. In summary, formulaic, action packed and entertaining. Worth a look.

Recently i saw the second part of Greenland, some movies shouldn`t have a new continous story and this is a perfect example. Gerard could have a better ending.
