El Día del Fin del Mundo

A revival of those 70s disaster films is what we have in Greenland. Who would have thought that large frozen island up north would be mankind's last hope for survival.

There's a large planet destroying comet headed our way and as it hits the atmosphere it burns up and breaks up. The first fragment flattens the Tampa-St.Petersburg area with accompanying firestorms. Is tis how itended for the dinosaurs?

Apparently some plans were made for such an event because engineer Gerard Butler has been chosen in a lottery to be marked for survival. So are his family which is wife Morena Beccarin and son Roger Dale Floyd. The best scenes in Greenland are between these people acting and functioning as a real family not some television type family unit.

You can make plans, but things often don't go to plan. Especially in a situation where blind panic takes over. This is the drama of Greenland, one man's family and their struggle.

Nice computer generated special effects are here for those who lay their money down to see such stuff. But a good story gets me and Greenland has a good story.

Not the best of disasterfilms, still a good one.

A film about an extinction level asteroid event which lead the protagonists and the rest of the humans to search for shelter and the chaos that comes with it. Film is running with a good pace overall and will keep you on edge. But the script is average, the chaos created is something that you have seen in so many similar movies and the idea is far from novel. Also some of the scenes in there just dot make sense or they feel a bit stupid. Luckily most of the acting is ok, the score and the visuals are ok so it constitutes an ok movie to watch-but don't expect to be blown away with this film. 6/10

Though this story is intense, I feel very annoyed by a series of poor decisions by the lead couple. I couldn't empathise with the family, and hence couldn't get into the story.

We went tonight, my girlfriend and I, as two people who likes this kind of movies and we loved it.

English is not my native language so I will keep it short : this is a well made apocalypse movie that evolved from those made in the 90s and 00s. We can feel a contemporary vibe here and it is refreshing.

What I liked : No downtime, lots of emotions and twists. Intense.

What I didn't like : bad CGI at some points

Lot of end of the world movies follow the same storyline but this one had that little extra. Felt like the way they handled this was more realistic, so in a way 'scarier'. I usually like seeing a lot of the destruction and action itself but I definitely recommend watching it
