Greenland 2 left me scratching my head

I was really looking forward to Greenland 2, especially with Gerard Butler on board. Apocalyptic worlds and catastrophic consequences are right up my alley when it comes to big-screen entertainment. But, as it often does, Mother Nature had other plans, and the theater chains pushed the release date back indefinitely. I'd already seen all the spoilers online, and I have to say, the quality was pretty crummy. So, I decided to watch it anyway.

Fast-forward five years, and the survivors are still living in an underground bunker, including my favorite Grittis family.

Greenland 2: Migration (2026)Things start to get a little weird from here. It turns out the bunker was only designed to last two years, which is just mind-boggling, given the state of the planet. I mean, shouldn't they have built it to last for decades, or even centuries? I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.Because of the resource shortage, the main character is constantly venturing out into the radiation zone to scavenge for supplies, which, of course, leaves him sick. I mean, who else would they send out, right? And his son is also somehow able to venture out – what, is there a secret passageway or something?

The colony council decides to risk everything to save another group of survivors from nearby, which is just a recipe for disaster. I mean, it's like they're living in a fairy tale or something.

Just when you think things can't get any worse, another natural disaster hits the bunker and destroys it.

Greenland 2: Migration (2026)And to make matters worse, the council knew something was coming and did nothing. So, in the end, everyone who survived the initial catastrophe just extended their lives by five years and died anyway. But our heroes are somehow immune to all this – they just jump into a rescue boat like it's a hot air balloon and live to tell the tale.I have to admit, it was a stroke of luck that the fuel and food lasted for a week for twenty people. I'm not even going to ask where they went to the bathroom, exposing themselves to radiation. Apparently, you had to head to Europe, where there's this crater formed after the explosion that somehow protects against radiation and the comet fragments orbiting the Earth. That's just a geologist's dream come true.Europe, in the form of Britain, turned out to be a pretty decent place, considering the global catastrophe. The buildings were battered, but still intact.

Greenland 2: Migration (2026)The people had food, clothes, and even the military was doing its duty with some decent-looking guns. It was actually kind of charming to see the old folks' home, run by a lovely, elderly woman. She'd sealed the building to prevent the hazardous atmosphere from getting in, and they had light, water, food, and a pretty civilized life.

Greenland 2: Migration (2026)And right in the middle of the post-apocalyptic city, this little oasis just sat there, untouched. I have to wonder how she managed to feed her dependents for five years.It's pretty ridiculous that when they reached the English Channel, they found there was no water. Where did it all go, considering the melted poles? The seabed wasn't convincingly shown, with no fish skeletons or ships in sight.

And who built those ladders/bridges on the cliffs? If it's constantly windy and even stormy, how did they manage that?

Greenland 2: Migration (2026)There were a lot of ridiculous plot points, but the visuals were impressive, I'll give them that. The Brits/Americans did a good job with the budget, with lots of epic scenes of the impending disaster: tsunamis, meteor showers, storms. The ruined European cities were well-detailed. London got off scot-free.Will the heroes make it to the crater? Who else will join them? Maybe it's just a soap opera?

Greenland 2: Migration (2026)Go watch the movie!Greenland 2: Migration (2026)Yeah, I'd recommend it, but if you want to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere, it's way better on a big screen.Enjoy the movie to whoever decides to give it a shot.
