Greenland

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.
