The sequel to a popular 2020 action-thriller has dropped on Amazon Prime Video and soared to the top of the charts.
Released in cinemas earlier this year, it’s also available on the small screen and viewers are clearly lapping it up.
This apocalyptic disaster movie is currently Amazon Prime’s number one film in the UK, with the original sitting at number five.
Greenland 2: Migration stars Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin, and Roman Griffin Davis in a ‘suspenseful’ film documenting a family’s attempt at survival in a bleak imagining of our future.
The Lionsgate synopsis reads: ‘In the aftermath of a comet strike that decimated most of the earth, Greenland 2: Migration follows the Garrity family as they’re forced to leave the safety of their bunker in Greenland to traverse a shattered world in search of a new home.’
Despite its success on Prime, the film has received mixed reviews online.
It scores 48% on the Tomatometer and 66% on Popcornmeter via Rotten Tomatoes.
Janine L on the site argued the ‘storyline is not developed’ and the ‘acting was awful’.
While Phyllis T disagreed and called it ‘thrilling, adventurous and captivating’.
Inevitably, people compared it to the first. Jade said it ‘fell short of the expectations set by the first movie’. However, Jacqueline said it was ‘just as good’.
The premise was set in the first film, as Butler’s family were forced to seek out bunkers in Greenland as the threat of a comet strike levelling their surroundings loomed large.
It came out during the global Covid-19 pandemic and was received more warmly by critics.
Scoring 78%, Ruth Maramis called it a ‘surprisingly grounded disaster move featuring Gerard Butler’s best performance in years’.
Cody Dericks was also a fan. He wrote: ‘For most of its runtime, “Greenland” surprises at just about every opportunity.
‘It continually takes every decision that a mindless disaster movie might make and does the complete opposite.’
Debbie Lynn Elias said it ‘taps into the human condition and finds humanity, delivering a thought-provoking film with killer action, powerful emotion, a comet named Clarke, and Gerard Butler.’
Greenland 2: Migration is available to stream on Amazon Prime.
