Greenland 2: Migration, 2026 - ★★★

This movie could easily have been titled “Greenland: One Disaster After Another.”

To begin with, I don’t believe Greenland needed a sequel, but the crew clearly aimed to spread hope during these challenging and seemingly hopeless times. Thus, the story shifts from the fear and desperation of the disaster in the original film to a radical optimism, despite all the obstacles thrown their way.

I must admit I enjoyed this movie more than I expected (though my expectations were pretty low, lol). It still excels at building emotional tension and making us root for the characters. As much as I like Gerard Butler, I believe Morena Baccarin is the true star of the film, carrying the movie as the emotional anchor of the story. I wouldn’t have enjoyed this movie as much without her amazing performance.

The disaster and action scenes are still as nerve-wracking, with stakes that feel genuinely high at the moment. Unfortunately, it felt like the filmmakers had an ending in mind to convey their message but lacked the depth to guide us there meaningfully. As a result, most of the transitions in the characters’ journey rely on luck and convenience rather than strong storytelling. You’ll need to suspend disbelief while watching this film, or you might roll your eyes so much you’ll need to see a doctor. LMAO.

Still, I quite enjoyed this sequel and its ending. While not necessary, it’s a decent addition if you’re interested in following the characters’ journey rather than purely expecting another nonstop-action-packed disaster film. Let’s just hope they don’t attempt to make another sequel after this, lol.
