The best parts of the first “Greenland” (2020)” film is that this is an asteroid movie that has a realistic perspective about what would happen in the case when an asteroid is too big there would be nothing humanity could ever do to stop it from hitting the earth. An asteroid too huge to stop would erase either the entire population of the planet or a large percentage of it either because of the heat blast after impact or the radiation that would follow. All humanity can do to continue is to select a group of people who might be able to bring humanity back from intinction by protecting them in deep caves, in locations like Greenland, which is essentially the plot of the first movie.

The sequel to Greenland is “Greenland 2 Migration”, and once again stars Gerard Butler and, and Morena Baccarin as John and Allison Garrity along with their son Nathan now five years older played by Roman Griffin Davis. This version of a destroyed planet earth is about as pessimistic as the first movie, with the air loaded with radiation, tectonic shifts in the earths crust, huge electrical storms, criminal marauders robbing and killing people, along with human beings spending 5 years in very close quarters, slowly running out of food and supplies.

The problem with this sequel is that it violates a fundamental rule of screenwriting. In order for a story to make sense the characters have to do things that not only make sense but are what a real person would do – especially in the case where John Garrity is constantly in charge of trying to rescue his family from certain death.

Early in this story there is talk of relatively good odds that the impact crater made by the comet Clarke has started to create new life. After the caves in Greenland are no longer habitable, the Garrity family makes a trek across Greenland to make their way to the Clarke crater, largely based on second hand rumor and speculation. In real life people would not risk their lives so many times based on this level of remote speculation. The good news is that there is a strong possibility that this will be the last Greenland movie, which is a shame because it means another possible movie franchise is once again lost, all because a good enough story idea was not created before making this below average B-level film.

This time around the Rotten Tomatoes ratings of 53% are correct based on the obvious logistical and human decisions that are too flawed, making this movie impossible to recommend.
