1. ›Greenland 2 | Review [ENG-ESP]@davidpena21116d

   Movies with stories about the end of the world tend to have something very interesting about them and can perhaps be seen as a call to action, since many of these productions show the exact moment of catastrophe, the urgency and chaos of survival. That's why Greenland: Migration was recently released as the sequel to a successful film, taking a different approach by telling what happens next. Here, the director revisits the story of the Garrity family on a deeply wounded planet, where survival is no longer a race against time, but a constant struggle to rebuild life.

   This second part abandons the pace of the first and becomes an adventure full of action, challenges, and the hope of freedom, despite the fact that the world has few survivors and is cold, silent, full of abandoned cities, scarce resources, and communities trying to reorganize themselves amid uncertainty. This leads us to wonder: Will they be able to continue living a normal life? Will there be no more restrictions? It will be a dangerous journey to a place that promises stability but, as expected, will not be easy to reach.

   Las películas con historia sobre el fin del mundo suelen tener algo muy interesante y quizás puede verse con un llamado a la acción, puesto muchas de esas producciones muestra en el momento exacto de la catástrofe, en la urgencia y el caos de la supervivencia. Por eso hace poco se estrenó Greenland: Migration, como segunda parte de una película exitosa y esta apuesta por algo diferente en contar qué ocurre después. Es aquí donde el director retoma la historia de la familia Garrity en un planeta profundamente herido, donde sobrevivir ya no es una carrera contra el tiempo, sino una lucha constante por reconstruir la vida.

   Esta segunda parte abandona el ritmo de la primera y se convierte en toda una aventura llena de acción, desafíos y esa esperanza de poder ser libre, a pesar de que el mundo cuenta con pocos sobrevivientes es frío, silencioso, lleno de ciudades abandonadas, recursos escasos y comunidades que intentan reorganizarse en medio de la incertidumbre, por ende nos lleva a preguntarnos ¿Podrán seguir viviendo una vida normal? ¿No habrá más restricciones?, ya que será un viaje peligroso hacia un lugar que promete estabilidad, pero que, como es de esperar, no será fácil de alcanzar.

   As this is the second part, everything has already been destroyed, devastated landscapes convey a feeling of permanent loneliness, and the visual design makes the viewer feel the weight of a world that no longer functions as it once did, while at the same time being grateful that there are still people alive. It also highlights what it is like to live locked up day after day in a shelter that no longer seems stable, facing human and natural threats, and maintaining hope when all seems lost, as the years pass and many have been born without being able to see beyond.

   Every second of the film becomes much more interesting, and at the same time, that concern grows, as the plot advances along fairly predictable paths within the post-apocalyptic genre: encounters with hostile groups with different ways of thinking, difficult decisions, and obstacles that seem designed more to keep the story moving than to add new layers to it. Although this part seeks to maintain a good pace and, above all, that feeling of family, protection, and how parents have to take risks, as part of the same riskier evolution compared to the first installment.

   Al ser una segunda parte, ya todo está destruido, paisajes devastados transmiten una sensación de soledad permanente, y el diseño visual logra que el espectador sienta el peso de un mundo que ya no funciona como antes y a la vez agradecer que aún hay personas con vida. Como también resalta cómo es vivir encerrado día tras día en refugio que ya no parece nada estable, amenazas humanas y naturales, y mantener la esperanza cuando todo parece perdido, puesto que los años pasan y muchos han nacido si poder ver más allá.

   Cada segundo de la película se vuelve mucho más interesante y a la vez esa preocupación crece, ya que la trama avanza por caminos bastante previsibles dentro del género postapocalíptico: encuentros con grupos hostiles con pensamiento distinto, decisiones difíciles y obstáculos que parecen diseñados más para mantener el movimiento que para aportar nuevas capas a la historia. Aunque este parte busca mantener un buen ritmo y sobre todo esa sensación de familia, protección y como padres tiene que arriesgarse, como parte de la misma evolución más arriesgada respecto a la primera entrega.

   Each of the protagonists in this new installment plays a major role in bringing emotion to the film, and one of them is Gerard Butler, who once again carries the story as one of the main characters. He also has a very good, solid, and credible personality as a father willing to do anything for his family, since they have not had the best of times while locked up. The family relationship remains the emotional heart of the film, although on this occasion the script does not always delve deeply enough into the characters' internal conflicts, remaining at times more functional than truly memorable.

   It is a decent sequel, arriving at the right time to finish what had already begun. Visually solid, it seeks to create something different within the genre. It is an intense journey that reminds us that, even in the worst possible scenario, hope remains the most valuable resource, as does human resilience and the idea that the real challenge is not to survive the disaster, but to learn to live after it.

   Cada uno de los protagonistas de esta nueva entrega tiene un gran papel para así poder darle esa emoción y uno de ellos es, Gerard Butler quien vuelve a sostener la historia como unos de los principales, además una personalidad muy buena, sólida y creíble como padre dispuesto a todo por su familia, ya que no han vivido los mejores momentos estando encerrados. Donde la relación familiar sigue siendo el corazón emocional de la película, aunque en esta ocasión el guion no siempre profundiza lo suficiente en los conflictos internos de los personajes, quedándose en momentos más funcionales que verdaderamente memorables.

   Es una secuela correcta, llega en el momento indicado para así poder terminar algo que ya había empezado, además visualmente sólida, busca poder crear algo diferente del género. Siendo una travesía intensa que recuerda que, incluso en el peor escenario posible, la esperanza sigue siendo el recurso más valioso, como también en la resiliencia humana y en la idea de que el verdadero desafío no es sobrevivir al desastre, sino aprender a vivir después de él.

2. ›Greenland 2 - A predictable road movie straight out of Temu [ENG/SPA]@danielcarrerag144d

   Was a sequel to Greenland even necessary? To be honest, the short answer is a resounding "no." With Ric Roman Waugh returning to the director's chair, Greenland: Migration (or Greenland 2) picks up five years after the events of the first film. The Garrity family—with Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin reprising their roles—is now living in the bunker they fought so hard to reach. But life inside is bleak: food is scarce, equipment is failing, and the air outside has turned toxic.

   ¿Era necesaria una secuela para Greenland? Francamente la respuesta corta, es un rotundo "no". Con Rick Román Waug repitiendo como director, Greenland: Migración (o Greenland 2) nos coloca 5 años después de los acontecimientos de la primera película. La familia Garrity, dónde Gerard Butler y Morena Baccarin son nuevamente los protagonistas, ahora viviendo en el búnker por el que lucharon alcanzar en la primera entrega. En este lugar los alimentos escasean, los equipos comienzan a fallar y el aire en el exterior se a tornado toxico.

   

   The "climax" kicks off when a massive earthquake and a subsequent tsunami destroy the bunker, forcing the survivors on a near-impossible journey toward France. Their goal? The crater of the largest meteor impact, where they hope to find clean air. It’s a real shame the "bunker life" subplot wasn't explored further; they could have leaned into the vibes of shows like The 100 or Silo. Instead, they opted for a mediocre, algorithmic byproduct.

   El "climax" de la película comienza cuando un terremoto y un posterior tsunami destruyen el búnker, obligando a sus ocupantes a comenzar un viaje que parece imposible hacia Francia, específicamente al crater del impacto del meteorito más grande, bajo la esperanza de encontrar un clima con aire limpio. Es una lastima que la parte de la trama de la vida en el búnker no se desarrollo más, pudiendo imitar productos como "The 100 o Silo", más bien prefirieron crear un subproducto mediocre y algorítmico.

   It’s honestly shocking how poor the writing is this time around. Chris Sparling wrote both films, but while the first one hooked you with its grounded, realistic survival premise, this sequel relies on implausible luck. The Garritys survive wars and disasters as if it were nothing. Furthermore, Butler’s character has evolved from a regular engineer into a "Superman" or Rambo-type figure, capable of fixing ships, weapons, and plumbing with a level of expertise that kills any sense of realism.

   Sorprende mucho que el guión sea tan malo en esta secuela. Chris Sparling es el guionista de las dos películas, la primera te enganchaba con esa premisa de supervivencia realista, en cambio aquí en la segunda, la familia Garrity tiene una especie de suerte inverosímil, para sobrevivir a guerras y desastres como si nada. Además, el personaje de Butler ha pasado de ser un ingeniero a una especie de "Superman" o un "Rambo" capaz de arreglar barcos, armas y tuberías con una destreza que le quita todo realismo a la película.

   On the technical side, I’m torn. The cinematography is decent at times—the post-apocalyptic landscapes and the glimpses of new life are striking—but the CGI is some of the worst I’ve seen in a while. For instance, in the crater scene, I’m convinced an AI could have come up with something better. Even though the movie isn't long, these flaws make it feel like a drag. It’s a repetitive, predictable road movie that wastes its supporting characters and feels forced—like a low-quality knockoff from Temu.

   En la parte técnica, tengo una opinión cruzada. La fotografía por momentos es buena, los paisajes del mundo post apocaliptico y como nace nueva vida son llamativos, pero el CGI es de los más malos que he visto en algún tiempo, por ejemplo, la escena del crater, estoy seguro que una IA hubiera propuesto algo mejor. Además, la película es corta pero estos detalles hacen que se sienta más larga y creo que se debe a lo repetitivo de las escenas, convirtiéndola en una road movie predecible, que desaprovecha personajes secundarios, que se siente forzada y de baja calidad como salida de Temu.

3. ›Greenland, chaos at the end of the world@ismaca534d

   [Image](https://www.filmaffinity.com/ve/filmimages.php?movie_id=688457)

    

   This is a sci-fi action film directed by Ric Roman Waugh, released in 2020. The plot centers on the imminent threat of a comet heading towards Earth, leading to global chaos and a race against time to survive.

   The story follows John Garrity (played by Gerard Butler), a structural engineer who, at the beginning of the film, seems to lead a normal life with his wife, Allison (played by Morena Baccarin), and son, Nathan (played by Roger Dale Floyd).

   However, his life takes a drastic turn when it is announced that a comet named “Clarity” is on a collision course with Earth. As the comet approaches, panic and chaos break out around the world, and authorities begin evacuating the population to safe havens.

   John and his family receive notification that they have been selected to be evacuated to a bunker in Greenland, where they can survive the comet's impact. However, the situation becomes complicated when they encounter a series of obstacles on their way to the shelter.

   [Image](https://www.filmaffinity.com/ve/filmimages.php?movie_id=688457)

    

   As they try to reach their destination, they must face the distrust of other survivors, the desperation of the population and the imminent destruction caused by the comet.

   The film unfolds against a backdrop of mounting tension and desperation, where the Garrity family is forced to make difficult decisions in order to survive.

   Along their journey, they encounter other characters who represent different aspects of human nature in crisis situations.

   Some are supportive and altruistic, while others become antagonists, willing to do whatever it takes to save themselves.

   [Image](https://www.filmaffinity.com/ve/filmimages.php?movie_id=688457)

    

   One of the central themes of “Greenland” is the struggle for family unity in the midst of chaos. John and Allison must overcome their differences and work together to protect their son, while the threat of the comet becomes a symbol of the fragility of life.

   The film also addresses the importance of hope and perseverance, showing how people can find the strength to keep going even in the most desperate circumstances.

   The pace of the film is intense, with thrilling action sequences and tense moments that keep the viewer on the edge of their seat.

   Visually, “Greenland” features impressive special effects depicting the devastation caused by the comet and its fragments as they impact Earth.

   The cinematography captures both the beauty of the landscape and the desolation of the ruined cities, creating a contrast that highlights the magnitude of the catastrophe.

4. ›Greenland: El último refugio [ESP-ENG]@elizabeths14660d

   

   ---

   Sí, otra Película del fin del mundo 😂. A veces creo que la NASA solo nos envía mensajes a través de esas películas y que ellos realmente han visto a ese gran Meteorito ☄️ dirigiéndose a la tierra, solo que no nos dices nada, porque todavía está lejos, no hay una aproximación alarmante y no quieren "preocuparnos", pero si nos hacen verlo en películas, para luego decir tipo: Se los mostramos de muchas formas jajaja.

   English Version

   Yes, another End of the World Movie 😂. Sometimes I think NASA just send us messages through those movies and they really have seen that big Meteor ☄️ heading to earth, they just don't tell us anything, because it's still far away, there is no alarming approach and they don't want to "worry" us, but they do make us see it in movies, then they say like: We show it to you in many ways hahaha.

   

   Hay cosas que rescatar de esta Película, la primera es que me gusta ver al actor Gerard Butler, en una faceta algo diferente, como Padre y en familia, haciendo igualmente un excelente papel. En esta Película, es John un arquitecto reconocido, que tiene problemas con su esposa, al inicio no sabes el por qué o desde cuándo, pero en una parte de la película se entiende mejor la situación de ellos. Tiene un hijo de 7 años, quien además es diabético.

   La familia tendrá una fiesta o reunión con amigos, así que John debe ir con su hijo a la tienda para comprar algunas cosas que hacen falta y sí, algo más de cervezas para los adultos. Cabe descartar que mientras se va desarrollando la película, vamos a ver cómo en los noticieros e incluso en las escuelas, hablan sobre el gran meteorito y hasta tiene nombre, pero nadie menciona que es posible que tenga un impacto sobre la tierra, así que todos actúan por ende normal. En la tienda John recibe un mensaje super raro, el cual también se transmite por el televisor de su casa, pero su esposa que estaba en ella, no logra verlo.

   English Version

   There are things to rescue from this film, the first is that I like to see the actor Gerard Butler, in a different facet, as a father and family, also playing an excellent role. In this film, John is a well known architect, who has problems with his wife, at the beginning you don't know why or since when, but in a part of the film you understand their situation better. He has a 7 year old son, who is also diabetic.

   The family is having a party or get-together with friends, so John has to go with his son to the shop to buy some things that are needed and yes, some more beers for the adults. It is worth noting that as the film unfolds, we will see how on the news and even in schools, they talk about the big meteorite and it even has a name, but nobody mentions that it is likely to have an impact on earth, so everyone acts normal. In the shop John gets a super weird message, which is also broadcast on his TV at home, but his wife, who was at home, doesn't get to see it.

   

   

   Es momento de regresar a casa luego de aquel mensaje y mientras están allí, comienza la acción, pero ya para esto están los vecinos y amigos en el lugar, así que luego del primer impacto todos logran oír nuevamente el mensaje que John recibe una vez más. Han Sido elegidos, mientras los demás notan que ellos no, así que la desesperación es notoria. y Y una de las cosas que me gusta de esta película y a diferencia de otras, es que ellos no se llevan a nadie 🤣, ya que los elegidos son solo ellos y John dice algo importante: "si la llevamos, luego allá al no dejarla entrar, tendremos que dejarla sola", refiriéndose a una vecina amiga de su hijo.

   La película me causaba algo de ansiedad, en especial por el niño y algunos sucesos que ocurren con él, los cuales son bastante preocupantes y en los que yo como mamá, me hubiera desesperado mucho. Pero del resto es más de lo mismo sobre estás películas. Un refugio, aviones o barcos que están subiendo solo a los escogidos, escogidos jajaja, los cuales no pueden ser enfermos, y la lucha para poder llegar a ese último refugio antes del gran impacto.

   English Version

   It is time to return home after that message and while they are there, the action begins, but by now the neighbours and friends are on the scene, so after the first impact they all manage to hear the message that John receives once again. They have been chosen, while the others notice that they haven't, so the desperation is noticeable. and

   And one of the things I like about this film, unlike others, is that they don't take anyone with them 🤣, as the chosen ones are only them and John says something important: "if we take her, then if we don't let her in, we'll have to leave her alone", referring to a neighbour friend of his son.

   The film caused me some anxiety, especially because of the child and some of the events that happen with him, which are quite worrying and in which I, as a mother, would have despaired a lot. But the rest is more of the same about these films. A shelter, planes or boats that are only taking up the chosen ones, chosen ones hahaha, who can't be sick, and the struggle to get to that last shelter before the big impact.

5. ›Greenland[2020]@sirdelly946d

   [Source](https://thewhshatchet.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/greenland-768x432.jpeg)

   Hello friends, I'm here with another interesting movie titled Greenland and I would like to share with you.

   The movie is about a man that, to save his family from a catastrophic end of times, John embarks on a risky quest to locate the last hope for salvation and witnesses the worst of mankind in the battle for survival.

   It begins, A near-earth passing of a recently discovered interstellar comet named “Clarke” is expected to occur.

   Structural engineer John Garrity lives in Atlanta, Georgia, USA with his estranged wife, Allison, and their diabetic son.

   John plans to watch the televised expected impact of a fragment of the comet in the Atlantic Ocean near Bermuda, along with his family and neighbors.

   John receives an automated Department of Homeland security (DHS) message saying that he and his family have been selected for emergency sheltering just after a comet fragment is seen entering the atmosphere on live television.

   Instead of landing in the ocean, the fragment strikes Tampa, Florida, vaporizing the city and much of the state; it is revealed that Clarke is actually on a direct collision course with Earth.

   The entire planet will be bombarded with hundreds of fragments over the next two days, culminating in a strike by a fragment large enough to cause an extinction-level event.

   John receives a call with instructions to head to Robins Air force base with his family for an evacuation flight; he is the only resident of the neighborhood to get this call.

   John, Allison, and Nathan quickly pack up and leave for the base, taking no one else with them as none but them would be allowed to board.

   At Robins Air Force Base, Nathan's insulin is left behind in the car.

   As John goes to retrieve it, Allison is escorted off the base after Nathan's medical condition is discovered, disqualifying him.

   John returns and boards a plane, but quickly disembarks on realizing Allison and Nathan were left behind.

   As John exits the base, a panicked mob breaks in, destroying several evacuation planes when gunfire ignites jet fuel.

   Returning to the car, John finds a note from Allison saying she and Nathan are going to her father's home in Lexington, Kentucky.

   After getting medical supplies from a looted store, Allison and Nathan get a ride from Ralph and Judy Vento only for Ralph to throw Allison out of the car, to take her wristband and kidnap Nathan to use him and the wristbands to board a flight.

   John hitches a ride on a truck where a young man named Colin says it is headed to Osgood, Ontario, Canada where private planes are flying to Greenland, the apparent evacuation site.

   However, another man attempts to take John's wristband, causing the truck to crash, killing Colin, and John is forced to kill the other man in self-defense.

   At another airport, the Ventos attempt to pose as Nathan's parents, but are arrested when the military discovers he is not their child.

   Allison and Nathan are reunited shortly after at a nearby Federal Emergency Managements Agency (FEMA) camp.

   The following morning, John learns from televised news reports that millions of people have died in fragment strikes worldwide and that the largest fragment will hit in approximately 24 hours.

   Stealing a car, John reaches his elderly father-in-law Dale's house, and Nathan and Allison arrive shortly after.

   The family learn about a complex of underground bunkers near pituffik space Base in Greenland, where the evacuees are being sent. They have just enough time to reach Osgood.

   John and Allison try to persuade Dale to go with them, but he refuses, content to meet the end of his days in his home when the largest fragment strikes. He gives the family his truck and bids them farewell.

   Find out what happened next as Dale refuses to go with them and gives the family his truck and bids them farewell as the movie gets interesting.

   Thanks for reading my post.

6. ›Gerard Butler's Greenland (2020) || Movie Review.@esther-emmanuel1028d

   

   Movies that are set in apocalyptic times give anxiety and it's kind of interesting to watch. I enjoyed them a lot. Before seeing Greenland, I had already watched 'Geostorm (2017)'. The movie disappointed me and it was painful because Gerard Butler, one of my favorite actors, starred as the main character in the movie. So when I decide to watch this movie, I thought it was going to be like 'Geostorm' but actually it ended up surprising me I'm the end regardless of the fact that it is a half-lower budget film. Normally, we don't get surprises from those kinds of movies.

   'Greenland' is an apocalyptic disaster movie that was written by Chris Sparling and directed by Ric Roman Waugh. The story of the movie revolves around a family who are struggling to survive a catastrophic natural disaster that has claim thousand of life. The movie starred Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin, Roger Dale Floyd, David Denman, Hope Davis, and Scott Glenn.

   Brief Summary.

   

   

   

   John Garrity, structural engineer who lives with his estranged wife, Allison and diabetic son Nathan in Georgia came home to celebrate his son's birthday. Spending some time with his son he got to also watch the news of the recently discovered interstellar comet named "Clarke" which is fast approaching the earth's atmosphere. Not long, Allison asks him to go get some groceries for Nathan's birthday.

   

   

   

   John and his son went to the grocery store to get what they needed. While shopping, John received an automatic call and message from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) saying that he and his family members have been selected for emergency shelter. Quickly John leaves the store and goes back home only for him to see on the news that a comet had entered the atmosphere and is likely landed near a sea.

   

   

   

   However, the comet landed in Tampa which affected the whole city and the impact spread through Georgia city too. Simultaneously John received the same automated message from the DHS which was clearly this time around displayed on his TV with more details and private pass for John and his family to have access to the emergency he was promised earlier. Immediately, John took his wife and son to the military base he was directed to for safety. Will they make it to the military base? Will John and his family survive the apocalyptic disaster that is about to happen?

   The Main Characters.

   The Cast of this movie was well selected and their performance was fantastic. Though, throughout the movie, concentration was more on the three main than the disaster. So I will briefly talk about three main characters who in fact the storyline of the movie revolves around.

   John Garrity (Gerard Butler)

   

   Butler is the central character of this movie. He played the role of a loving and committed father who is also having some relationship challenges with his wife. Throughout the movie, Butler's role wasn't stagnant but it kept changing as the apocalyptic disaster unfolded leaving many dead in its path. I enjoyed his role and performance a lot because He transformed from a distant father/husband to a devoted and loving man to his family with his determination to keep his family safe at all cost.

   Allison Garrity (Morena Baccarin)

   

   Morena's character in this movie was a woman who was struggling with her emotions and mental health as she separated from John. As the apocalyptic disaster starts, Morena had to set aside her emotions and grudges to keep her family safe. Her performance was okay and manageable for me because throughout the movie I couldn't really connect with her as there was no back story as to why she wanted a separation from John. To me, I didn't really pay any attention to her throughout the movie.

   Nathan Garrity (Roger Dale Floyd)

   

   Nathan's role was amazing for me. His performance was unexpectedly convincing because he blended with his character well and was able to portray every emotion a child of his will portrayed in such a situation. But then, a scene made me angry with his character because without the scene his parents wouldn't have struggled to stay safe to the extent they put themselves at risk of getting killed. Regardless, his character was at the center of the movie.

   Other supporting characters were good, their brief presence was felt throughout the movie and they were all introduced in the movie's flow seamlessly without any disruption to the scene arrangements.

   My Review And Rating.

   This movie was entertaining to me because it didn't concentrate on the CGI of the disaster; instead, it concentrated on the three main characters and the nature of humans. Though the storyline of the movie is not new to us as there are many apocalyptic movies we have seen, this movie's storyline was told from the perspective of the three main characters in a unique way.

   As the story of the movie is told from the perspective of the three main characters, I was able to connect with the arc of the story like I was experiencing what the characters were experiencing too. Because of this unique storytelling, this movie was fully packed with the emotional effect of a catastrophic event, the tension of experiencing such events and lastly it adequately portrayed both the best and worst of human nature in times of such events.

   The director did an amazing job with the movie because every scene portrayed appropriate human emotions which makes it all realistic. . The director also made sure to make the disaster scene sequences feel realistic, terrifying and convincing. All the scenes were arranged well to blend with the storyline of the movie. Also, the setting of the movie was good regardless of the fact that there were various settings like the road trip, suburban life and government shelter.

   The visuals were okay, but the CGI was not really convincing because it was mild and inconsistent but it was an average work. The movie was entertaining and enjoyable for me. It is a movie that I watched once and forgot that I did because it didn't give me a lasting impression. The ending was not satisfying for me but I hope the next sequel that is in the works will be better.

   Rating this movie, I will give it 6.5 out of 10 stars. It is a family entertainment movie and it's averagely interesting. I would recommend this movie if you want to just have fun and relax with a little bit of tension. Have you seen the Greenland movie before? What's your take on the movie?

   My Opinion / Mi Opinión

   This isn't the best disaster movie I've seen, but I'd say it was pretty good. I'm not a big fan of these movies but, during the quarantine since we had to stay at home and here in Venezuela we ran out of DirecTV so I started looking for movies to watch and we found this one interesting and we watched it as a family. The work of the cast in general was good since the characters are well developed, although I would say that the one I liked the most was John Garrity, because I used to finding Gerard Butler in this type of film and I think it's very good, because they are my dad's favorites, and he has seen several movies with this actor among the cast.

   Esta no es la mejor película de desastres que he visto, pero diría que estuvo bastante bien. No soy muy fan de estas películas pero, durante la cuarentena ya que teníamos que quedarnos en casa y aquí en Venezuela nos quedamos sin DirecTV pues comencé a buscar películas para ver y esta nos pareció interesante y la vimos en familia. El trabajo del elenco en general estuvo bien ya que los personajes están bien desarrollados aunque diría que el que más me gustó fue John Garrity, ya que estoy acostumbrada a encontrarme a Gerard Butler en este tipo de películas y me parece muy bueno, ya que son de las favoritas de mi papá, y el si ha visto varias películas con este actor entre el elenco.

   I liked the photography a lot, as well as the special effects which were up to the task. The story is also very interesting and engaging since it shows in a very real way what it would be like to experience a tragedy like this, the despair of the people and the chaos that this causes, so it is easy to get into the movie and that is a point in favor. Throughout the film there are many parts that caught my attention but I remember that the scene that struck me the most is when Allison Garrity (the protagonist's wife) goes into a store to get insulin for her son and suddenly looters come in killing many people, but she manages to escape with her son. Although as I said before, I'm not a big fan of this type of film and this is not the best film of the genre that I have seen, I would say that it was very good and we spent a good time watching it. I would very much like to recommend it to all my readers who have not seen it yet, I hope you enjoy it.

   La fotografía me gustó bastante, al igual que los efectos especiales los cuales estuvieron a la altura. La historia también es muy interesante y enganchante ya que muestra de una manera bastante real como sería vivir una tragedia como esta, el desespero de la gente y el caos que esto ocasiona por lo que es fácil meterse dentro de la pelicula y ese es un punto a favor. A lo largo de la pelicula hay muchas partes que me llamaron la atención pero recuerdo que la escena que más me impactó es cuando Allison Garrity (la esposa del protagonista) entra a un local para conseguir insulina para su hijo y de repente entran saqueadores matando a muchas personas, pero ella logra escapar con su hijo. Aunque como dije antes, no soy muy fan de este tipo de películas y esta no es la mejor pelicula del género que he visto diría que estuvo muy buena y pasamos un buen rato viéndola. Me gustaría mucho recomendársela a todos mis lectores que todavía no la han visto, espero que la disfruten.

8. ›Greenland: Another "end of the world film" with nothing original to offer@netflixr1481d

   There was a time not all that long ago that apocalyptic films were all the rage. It seemed like there were several big-budget versions of exactly the same premise coming out every year. You may recall when Deep Impact and Armageddon came out in the same year and were essentially exactly the same movie. The only real difference was the Armageddon focused an awful lot on a love story whereas Deep Impact was somewhat focused on an unrealistic teenage romance.

   I thought both of those films were pretty decent but then just like Hollywood always does, they went too far with it and kept beating the horse after it was long dead.

   It's been a while since a film of this sort was made and I was kind of surprised to find out that Gerard Butler signed on for this. I guess he chases a paycheck just like anyone else.

   src

   Before I get too judgmental I suppose I should go ahead and admit that there isn't really a whole lot that I can think of in how a film about the "end of the world" could not borrow aspects from films with similar themes. There's only so many plot lines that something like this could follow.

   At least in this one they kind of get straight to the action and don't spend a ton of time building up and wasting time with filler. Basically, we are told at the start that a comet is going to pass very closely by earth and at first people are excited about it because it is going to be lovely or something. As you can expect the scientists were horribly wrong and their predictions that tiny parts of it were going to burn up in the atmosphere was way off and one of the first bits that hit the earth completely destroys a large part of Florida.

   [src](https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/tronc/CO53RTJUC5APLHCZPFLQPBC6XU.png)

   As you would imagine, global panic sets in and things start to get chaotic. John Garrity (Butler) receives a text with details on how he has been selected to go to a survival bunker along with his family members but the bad thing about this is that none of his friends or other family have been selected. Word travels quickly where the pickup points are and soon the masses of unselected people swarm these areas and cause more chaos. I suppose it is somewhat interesting but a big problem that I have with this portion of the film is that we are time and time again subjected to what I consider to be very lazy storytelling in that the tension is created for Garrity's family because they keep encountering traffic jam after traffic jam.

   src

   Eventually and predictably they miss their flight because of the masses of people not selected that are mucking things up for the people that do have permission to go to the bunkers. In one particularly tragic moment when the people are shouting at the military about the fact that they are giving all the people a death sentence a higher ranking soldier points out to the masses that 99% of the military were not selected either.

   So I'll go ahead and spoil the ending but you shouldn't be upset with me because this is a Hollywood film and this much would be obvious anyway: The family makes it to the bunker in the nick of time - just like every other film that has ever been made like this.

   Should I watch it?

   For fans of these sorts of film I suppose this could be considered passable as mindless entertainment. The acting is pretty solid on the part of all involved including the child actor and newcomer Roger Floyd. This is always a surprise to me when this happens because I never expect much from child actors and generally find that they are mostly pretty bad.

   Literally nothing original happens in this film and it is just a sequence of frustrating events that keep the Garrity family from reaching the place they need to be... over and over. I will admit that I skipped large portions of the film probably starting at the 14th traffic jam they encounter. It might be ok to have on in the background and I guess I can appreciate the fact that they made the impact sequences look pretty realistic considering the rather small budget of $35 million.

   This one could go either way but it certainly isn't going to be winning any awards. I will likely look forward to the planned sequel about what the world is like with 99% of the population wiped out but I don't think you would need to actually have watched this film in order to understand the eventual part 2.

   Greenland: El Último Refugio

   [Versión En Español]

   Hola Hivers amantes de las películas y series, hace muy poco he tenido la oportunidad de revisar algunas producciones en el servicio de streaming de Amazon Prime, he querido analizar varias de sus producciones y la calidad de las mismas, en este proceso apenas estoy comenzando, sin embargo, me he topado con producciones interesantes y poco a poco estaré reseñando las películas que se pueden disfrutar adquiriendo este servicio. En esta ocasión quiero analizar una película que si bien tiene un poco más de un año desde su estreno no había podido ver, hablo de la película: Greenland.

   

   Source

   Así como lo mencioné en el párrafo anterior esta película se estrena en el año 2020, específicamente el 25 de septiembre de ese año, al momento de hacer este post ha pasado poco más del año pero en lo particular la había dejado pasar. Esta película la encontré en el servicio de Streaming de Amazon como El Día del Fin del Mundo (quizás no es el titulo más original), pero también es conocida en algunas regiones como Greenland: El ultimo Refugio. Es una producción que casi llega a las dos horas de duración, ¿vale la pena invertir dos horas para ver esta película?, intentaré responder esa pregunta basado en mi opinión personal y así como es de costumbre le otorgaré una puntuación al final del post.

   Sinopsis:

   Un Cometa recién descubierto se acerca a la tierra y por efectos ocasionados por su acercamiento al sol se divide y desvía hacia la tierra, provocando una ola de pánico debido a la posible extinción de la raza humana y otras formas de vida sobre la tierra. La familia Garrity deberá sobrevivir a la creciente anarquía expandida por el país y ponerse a salvo antes de que el cometa toque la superficie del planeta y acabe con gran parte de la vida en este mundo.

   Análisis de la Película

   Historia

   Debo confesar que me encantan las historias sobre desastres naturales, creo que es un género que capta la atención de millones de espectadores en todo el mundo y recuerdo grandes producciones dentro de este género, algunas estupendas y otras decepcionantes pero es innegable que este tipo de historias son muy atractivas y comercialmente beneficiosas para las casas productoras.

   Miedo A Un Gran Desastre

   Este tipo de películas aprovecha cierto miedo que posee la humanidad ante un desastre natural que provoque la extinción de la vida sobre la tierra, desde tiempos inmemoriales este miedo ha coexistido con nuestras culturas alrededor del mundo, no sabemos cuando será el fin, sin embargo, una pandemia (algo parecido a una película de ficción) nos ha demostrado que lo que vemos en las películas podría suceder en la vida real ¿no es así?

   

   Source

   Drama Familiar

   La película nos presenta una historia diferente en cuanto a varias producciones de desastres naturales que casi erradican la existencia de la vida en el planeta, en muchas de esas películas famosas la trama gira alrededor de las autoridades, oficiales altos mandos del gobierno o recae sobre los científicos que descubren ese fenómeno o esa amenaza que pone en peligro la existencia de la humanidad, sin embargo, esta película nos presenta algo diferente, nunca veremos un alto funcionario explicando lo que ocurre o el descubrimiento años antes el comenta que impactará la tierra, simplemente aparece casi de la nada y nos adentramos en la vida de una familia estadounidense que no sabe mas nada de lo que puede observar en las imágenes y noticieros en la televisión.

   

   Source

   La producción se encarrila en un drama familiar que por supuesto es afectado por diversas condiciones provocadas por el pánico a la extinción y la caída repentina da fragmentos del comenta que causan destrozos descomunales, sucesos que pueden provocar que las personas realicen actos impensados e inhumanos para su propia supervivencia. El drama familiar es marcado de principio a fin y es el centro de esta película más que alguna explicación científica o acción dentro de la película.

   

   Source

   Es una historia que funciona y que la trama hace sentir emociones a lo largo de los minutos de duración de esta película, quizás la combinación de los hechos enlazados a un drama familiar hace que funcione y se trasmitan las emociones y sentimientos adecuadamente en muchas de las escenas de esta película.

   Actuación

   Siendo sincero siempre me ha agradado las actuaciones de Gerard Butler, me parece de esos actores que se introducen en un tipo de personajes pero que lo hacen de una manera fantástica y que siempre cumple en cuanto a la calidad de sus actuaciones, en esta oportunidad no decepciona y podemos decir que se introduce adecuadamente en el personaje que a simple vista podemos notar que es acorde al actor.

   

   Source

   Normalmente en este tipo de películas con un ritmo constante y con la extinción cruzando la esquina la actuación no es tan relevante como otros aspectos como los efectos visuales y demás, sin embargo, me parece que se logra el objetivo en cuanto a la actuación teniendo en cuenta que la trama gira en torno a un drama familiar.

   Efectos Visuales

   Así como lo he mencionando mucha veces en esta comunidad me agrada observar este tipo de trabajo técnico en las producciones. En esta película los efectos visuales no son tan constantes o impresionantes como en otras producciones de años anteriores, a lo largo de las dos horas de duración observaremos pocas explosiones relevantes que nos puedan impresionar en comparación a otras producciones del genero disminuye la frecuencia en la utilización de efectos visuales, sin embargo, este aspecto de cierta manera es compensado con la historia anclada a un drama familiar, una trama en la cual no es necesario abusar de explosiones y muertes.

   

   Source

   Por momentos vemos escenas de ciudades desbastadas o el cometa cayendo desde la atmósfera, también una buena fotografía en algunos paisajes, por otro lado debo decir que a pesar de que son pocas las secuencias en donde se observan los efectos visuales podemos decir que son decentes mas no impresionantes o revolucionarios, a mi parecer en esta época tecnológica deberíamos ver efectos visuales más avanzados e impresionantes, sin embargo, es necesario mencionar que esta producción tuvo un presupuesto de 35 millones de dólares.

   Para una mejor perspectiva de este aspecto debemos recordar la famosa película 2012, una película del genero de desastres recordada por sus grandes e impresionantes efectos visuales, esta producción tuvo un presupuesto aproximado a 200 millones de dólares, por lo cual una película de 35 millones evidentemente no nos presentará la misma calidad técnica en cuanto a este tipo de efectos visuales.

   Opinión Final

   Me encantan este tipo de historias de desastres que pueden provocar la extinción de la vida en el planeta, desde pequeño siempre me han gustado este tipo de películas, pero esta producción tiene un enfoque especial anclado a un drama familiar, sin ninguna explicación objetiva de lo que sucede, simplemente nos introducimos en los hechos que ocurren y afectan a esta familia. Este cambio de dirección en comparación a otras producciones le permite limitar la cantidad de efectos visuales dentro de la película, algo que siempre esperamos ver dentro del genero de desastres, sin embargo, el drama y la historia alrededor de la familia Garrity compensan la falta de grandes efectos visuales de manera constante. Debo decir que las actuaciones y la estructura del guion son una parte esencial para que podamos disfrutar de esta película.

   

   Source

   ¿La Recomiendo?

   Si, incluso si no se es fan del genero de desastre la trama es interesante para disfrutarla durante las dos horas de duración de la película, me parece que si vale la pena invertir ese tiempo en esta producción ya que nos garantiza entretenimiento, por supuesto esto lo digo según mi apreciación personal, sin embargo, opino que al publico en general puede agradarle esta producción.

   Es un placer escribir para esta comunidad, espero que este post sea una buena referencia para esta producción. Si alguno ha visto esta película le invito a dejar su comentario con su opinión al respecto.

   Greenland

   [English Version]

   Hello Hivers movie and series lovers, I have recently had the opportunity to review some productions in the Amazon Prime streaming service, I wanted to analyze several of their productions and the quality of them, in this process I'm just starting, however, I have come across interesting productions and gradually I will be reviewing the movies that can be enjoyed by purchasing this service. This time I want to analyze a film that although it has a little over a year since its release I had not been able to see, I speak of the film: Greenland.

   

   Source

   Just as I mentioned in the previous paragraph this movie is released in 2020, specifically on September 25 of that year, at the time of making this post a little over a year has passed but in particular I had let it go. I found this movie on Amazon's Streaming service as The Day at the End of the World (perhaps not the most original title), but it is also known in some regions as Greenland: The Last Refuge. It is a production that almost reaches two hours long, is it worth investing two hours to watch this movie, I will try to answer that question based on my personal opinion and so as usual I will give it a score at the end of the post.

   Synopsis:

   A newly discovered Comet approaches the earth and due to effects caused by its approach to the sun it splits and deflects towards the earth, causing a wave of panic due to the possible extinction of the human race and other forms of life on earth. The Garrity family must survive the growing anarchy spreading across the country and get to safety before the comet touches the planet's surface and wipes out much of the life on this world.

   Movie Analysis

   Story

   I must confess that I love stories about natural disasters, I think it is a genre that captures the attention of millions of viewers around the world and I remember great productions within this genre, some great and some disappointing but it is undeniable that this kind of stories are very attractive and commercially profitable for production houses.

   Fear Of A Great Disaster

   This type of movies takes advantage of a certain fear that humanity has of a natural disaster that will cause the extinction of life on earth, since time immemorial this fear has coexisted with our cultures around the world, we do not know when the end will be, however, a pandemic (something like a fictional movie) has shown us that what we see in movies could happen in real life isn't it?

   

   Source

   Family Drama

   The film presents us with a different story in terms of several productions of natural disasters that almost eradicate the existence of life on the planet, in many of those famous movies the plot revolves around the authorities, high ranking government officials or falls on the scientists who discover that phenomenon or that threat that endangers the existence of humanity, However, this film presents us with something different, we will never see a high official explaining what is happening or the discovery years before he comments that will impact the earth, simply appears almost out of nowhere and we enter into the life of an American family who knows nothing more than what can be seen in the images and news on television.

   .

   Source.

   The production is set in a family drama that of course is affected by various conditions caused by the panic of extinction and the sudden fall of fragments of the comenta that cause huge destruction, events that can cause people to perform unthinkable and inhumane acts for their own survival. The family drama is marked from beginning to end and is the focus of this film rather than any scientific explanation or action within the film.

   

   Source.

   It is a story that works and the plot makes you feel emotions throughout the minutes of duration of this movie, perhaps the combination of the facts linked to a family drama makes it work and emotions and feelings are adequately conveyed in many of the scenes of this movie.

   Acting

   Being honest I have always liked the performances of Gerard Butler, he seems to me of those actors who are introduced in a type of characters but they do it in a fantastic way and always meets in terms of the quality of their performances, this time does not disappoint and we can say that it is properly introduced in the character that at first glance we can notice that it is according to the actor.

   

   Source

   Normally in these types of films with a steady pace and with extinction crossing the corner the acting is not as relevant as other aspects such as visual effects and such, however, it seems to me that it achieves the goal in terms of acting considering that the plot revolves around a family drama.

   Visual Effects

   As I have mentioned many times in this community I like to observe this kind of technical work in productions. In this film the visual effects are not as constant or impressive as in other productions of previous years, throughout the two hours of duration we will observe few relevant explosions that can impress us compared to other productions of the genre decreases the frequency in the use of visual effects, however, this aspect in a way is compensated with the story anchored to a family drama, a plot in which it is not necessary to abuse explosions and deaths.

   

   Source.

   At times we see scenes of devastated cities or the comet falling from the atmosphere, also a good photography in some landscapes, on the other hand I must say that although there are few sequences where visual effects are observed we can say that they are decent but not impressive or revolutionary, in my opinion in this technological age we should see more advanced and impressive visual effects, however, it is necessary to mention that this production had a budget of 35 million dollars.

   For a better perspective of this aspect we must remember the famous movie 2012, a movie of the disaster genre remembered for its great and impressive visual effects, this production had a budget of approximately 200 million dollars, so a movie of 35 million evidently will not present us the same technical quality in terms of this type of visual effects.

   

   Source.

   Rating:

   7.6 ⭐

   Final Opinion.

   I love this kind of stories of disasters that can cause the extinction of life on the planet, since I was a child I have always liked this kind of movies, but this production has a special approach anchored to a family drama, without any objective explanation of what happens, we simply get into the events that occur and affect this family. This change of direction compared to other productions allows it to limit the amount of visual effects within the film, something we always expect to see within the disaster genre, however, the drama and story around the Garrity family make up for the lack of great visual effects on a consistent basis. I must say that the performances and the structure of the script are an essential part of our enjoyment of this film.

   

   Source.

   Do I recommend it?

   Yes, even if you are not a fan of the disaster genre the plot is interesting to enjoy during the two hours of the film, it seems to me that if it is worth investing that time in this production as it guarantees entertainment, of course I say this according to my personal appreciation, however, I think that the general public can like this production.

   It is a pleasure to write for this community, I hope this post is a good reference for this production. If anyone has seen this film I invite you to leave your comment with your opinion about it.

10. ›Greenland (2020) review: 2012 but make it different.@richardalexis1870d

    

    Source

    

    Greenland is a film that operates under fairly predictable margins, but is incredibly effective at conveying the sentiments it pursues.

    

    Source

    Since 2012 I do not think I am the only one who became obsessed with the idea of ​​the end of the world and more specifically, as it is often portrayed in different art forms, in a sea of ​​optimistic and pessimistic visions, it is always interesting to see our nature as a survivor in a of these extreme situations.

    Works like The Last Of Us of Fallout in the world of videogames seem rather determined to show us life after the tragedy, the events after the fall of society as we know it, but Greenland focus on that loss, the most animal moment.

    

    Source

    With a rather fast and suffocating pace, Greenland does not have the heart to enter into moral or philosophical discussions about what is correct, do we let others die to maintain the integrity of our family? And although it is painful, an angle of this type ends up being refreshing, realistic and very consistent with the actions of many -I include myself-, apart from the meteors, it could be said that the most terrifying thing about the film is the elitism that ends up deciding who is saved in the bunkers and who doesn't.

    The special effects range from the incredible to the simple, in general they serve the purpose of reinforcing the anxiety emanating from the tape.

    

    Source

    Very well acted and with a plot so simple that it is difficult to highlight some kind of hole or error.

    The predictability of the film could be criticized but it is to expect a lot from a work that grants precisely what it offers, more than recommended to entertain -and surprisingly involve the feelings- for a while.

    

    

    Source

    

    Greenland es una cinta que opera bajo unos márgenes bastante predecibles, pero es increíblemente efectiva en transmitir los sentimientos que persigue.

    

    Source

    Desde 2012 no creo ser el único que se obsesionó con la idea del fin del mundo y más específicamente, como se suele retratar en distintas forma de arte, en un mar de visiones optimistas y pesimistas, siempre es interesante ver nuestra naturaleza de sobreviviente en una de estas situaciones límite.

    Obras como The Last Of Us of Fallout en el mundo del videojuego parecen más bien empeñadas en mostrarnos la vida después de la tragedia, los eventos posteriores a la caída de la sociedad tal y como la conocemos, pero Greenland se va justo a esa perdida, el momento más animal.

    

    Source

    Con un ritmo bastante acelerado y asfixiante, Greenland no tiene ánimos de entrar a discusiones morales o filosóficas sobre qué es correcto, ¿Dejamos morir a los demás para mantener la integridad de nuestra familia? Y aunque sea doloroso termina siendo refrescante un ángulo de este tipo, realista y muy acorde al actuar de muchos -Me incluyo-, aparte de los meteoros podría decirse que lo más terrorífico de la cinta es el elitismo que termina decidiendo quién se salva en los bunkers y quien no.

    Los efectos especiales van de un rango desde lo increíble hasta lo simple, en general cumplen con la finalidad de reforzar la ansiedad que emana la cinta.

    

    Source

    Muy bien actuada y con una trama tan simple que es difícil resaltar algún tipo de agujero o error.

    Podría criticarse lo predecible del film pero es esperar mucho de una obra que otorga precisamente lo que ofrece, más que recomendada para entretenerse -Y sorprendentemente implicar los sentimientos- durante un rato.

11. ›Greenland (7.5/10)- "Listen, I just got one of those Presidential Alerts. Did you get one?"@dedicatedguy2035d

    

    ^Source

    I don't remember when was the last time I saw a movie about a natural disaster, but this type of film tend to be fun as long as their budget is high enough for the good CGI. Some of the best movies about natural disasters are The Day After Tomorrow and 2012. Now, we can add Greenland to the list.

    This time the disaster isn't a supervolcano or massive climate change that turns everything into ice. If you take a good look at the poster above you can notice this disaster comes from space, it's asteroids, like the one that killed the dinosaurs.

    This movie wasn't as shocking as the ones I mentioned before but age is probably a factor when it comes to the level of shock this type of movie can cause the viewers. In the story, we follow a marriage played by Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin and both of them made a great job with their roles.

    

    ^Source

    In the beginning, they are preparing for a dinner party with some of their friends, and coincidentally, every time the husband receives an alert on his phone, it is showed on the tv as well. With a bunch of friends over you can guess the chaos that ensued, especially because this couple was luckier than most regarding the type of alert they received.

    When the world is ending there aren't rules anymore. Riots and widespread violence will inevitably happen and there will be several scenes showing how society breaks down. There is an extremely silly mistake from the 2 parents when they are trying to escape the apocalypse that changes everything for them, and it is this silly mistake that the one thing I find most annoying. I mean, if you are leaving everything behind, the least you can do when getting out of the car is to check you aren't leaving something important in the car. Without this silly mistake, most of the drama they suffered throughout the movie would have been avoided.

    If you enjoyed the 2 similar movies I mentioned before make sure to see this one as well. If the natural, and in this case, cosmic disaster is scientifically accurate or not, I don't think it matters. The film is just meant to entertain and it certainly does.

    

    ^Source

    The best

    • It wasn't an experience as intense as the other 2 similar movies from previous years, but it was well worth the watch nonetheless.

    The worst

    • There are a few mistakes from the characters and coincidences that were hard to believe.
