While most disaster sequels try to go "bigger and louder," Greenland: Migration takes a far more interesting—and chilling—approach. Picking up exactly where the first film left off, we follow the Garrity family as they finally leave their protective bunker, only to find that surviving the comet was actually the easy part. The world they knew is gone, replaced by a frozen, lawless wasteland.
What makes this film stand out is its shift in tone. It moves away from the "ticking clock" chaos of falling space rocks and settles into a gritty, character-driven survival story. Gerard Butler delivers another reliably grounded performance as a man trying to keep his family together in a world that has lost its mind. There are no capes or superpowers here; it’s just desperate people making impossible choices, which makes the stakes feel incredibly personal.
Visually, the film is haunting. The sight of a decimated, snow-covered Europe is genuinely eerie, and the cinematography captures the vast, lonely scale of the "nuclear winter" perfectly. It’s a bit of a long haul, clocking in at over two hours, and the middle act can feel like a bit of a slog through the snow. Furthermore, it is relentlessly bleak—don't go in expecting a light-hearted adventure.
Ultimately, Greenland: Migration is a rare sequel that manages to be more thoughtful than the original. It’s a tense, atmospheric look at what happens after the credits roll on a typical disaster movie. If you have the stomach for a bit of post-apocalyptic grimness, it’s one of the best survival thrillers in recent years.
