In a cinematic coincidence, 'Greenland 2: Migration' has hit theaters at a time when the world is obsessed with the tiny island nation. The sequel to the 2020 comet-disaster film, starring Gerard Butler, offers a hauntingly grim vision of a world ravaged by radioactive ash and toxic radiation. Butler reprises his role as John Garrity, a stoic survivor who must navigate the unlivable conditions with his family. The movie takes place five years after the Clarke meteor destroyed two-thirds of the Earth, leaving the survivors in a desperate fight for survival. The story follows the Garritys as they try to rebuild their lives in a Greenland bunker, but it's a bleak existence. John takes perilous trips to the surface, while his wife Allison (Morena Baccarin) fights for the rights of migrants seeking shelter. Their 15-year-old son Nathan (Roman Griffin Davis) struggles to cope with the harsh new world. As the family faces numerous challenges, they discover a possible safe zone in southern France, but their journey is fraught with danger. After the bunker is destroyed, they embark on a harrowing journey across the English Channel and through a partially submerged Liverpool. Despite the intense action and emotional drama, 'Greenland 2: Migration' fails to deliver a compelling narrative. The characters are underdeveloped, and the story meanders without a clear direction. The film's rating is PG-13 for strong violence, bloody images, and action. With a running time of 98 minutes, 'Greenland 2: Migration' is a disappointing sequel that fails to live up to its predecessor. It's a forgettable film that struggles to leave a lasting impression, earning only one and a half stars out of four.
