US EditionMovie Review: 'Greenland 2' Blends Hope, Hard-Hitting Action
Set five years after the original, the sequel follows survivors journeying from a nuclear bunker through devastated Europe toward a new life at Clarke's impact site.
- Gerard Butler headlines Greenland 2: Migration, which opens Jan. 9 and follows John Garrity and his family leaving a bunker to seek the Crater oasis in Western Europe.
- A collection of rock fragments named Clarke set the backdrop as the Garritys live five years post-impact in a Greenland bunker, with cities ruined and air often radioactive.
- They cross the ocean on a small metal tugboat, arrive in waterlogged Liverpool, see a drained English Channel and rope-bridge, and meet a Nigerian van driver who says, `The world is a dangerous place now.`
- A critic labels the sequel a dystopian dud, though the reviewer notes its hopeful post-disaster vision and MPA rating PG-13 for strong violence and bloody images.
- The film treats the journey as migration tied to modern refugee crises, framing Garrity and companions as migrants and using man-made environmental catastrophe as a didactic theme, while Gerard Butler's January release pattern places the sequel in his usual action window.
