Nothing like a good ol’ disaster to save your marriage.

personally, i would simply give up and accept my fate

I have to admit, considering how low my expectations were for a Gerard Butler's end-of-the-world movie going in, GREENLAND definitely exceeded my expectations and boy was i surprised. Despite following some disaster movie cliches, this is a cut above most in this genre. A solid, well-directed & gripping movie, that manages to wring out a lot of tension and exhilarating bleakness from a very familiar premise. It's really grounded & subdued, focused more on characters rather than CGI spectacle, basically the antithesis of what the disaster genre has become. Even the performances are not caricature-ish or over-the-top, they feel very grounded with Gerard Butler giving one of his finest performances in years.

I thought I was watching Geostorm and it took over an hour for me to realize that it was the OTHER Gerard Butler doomsday movie
