	Media	Author	Review
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"[It] is better than 2020 deserves (...) By eschewing spectacle and focusing on the human scale of a crisis, 'Greenland' becomes the rare disaster movie that feels realistic"
		Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"The gritty verisimilitude that the star and director Ric Roman Waugh bring to the table goes a long way in making this B-level blockbuster a timely and guilty pleasure."
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"[It] achieves a mostly shallow impact (...) It's another stolid Butler thriller"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Director Waugh has a keen sense of action drama pacing, and the special effects team does a fine job (...) [Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin] are outstanding (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"The family’s lack of identifiable characteristics (...) means we get tired of them all too fast (...) It’s an adequate, involving enough afternoon watch (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Derek Smith Slant	"'Greenland' gets points for consistency (...) The intense focus on the intimacy between John, Allison, and their diabetic son, Nathan (...) is rare for a film such as this (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"What does save some of the many issues the Greenland movie has, are the awesome action scenes (...) It’s like watching a Home Alone and 2012 hybrid of sorts (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media	"Absolutely harrowing (...) As a thriller, 'Greenland' absolutely delivers the tension and thrills, with huge visual effects and plenty of intense, dangerous spots"
		Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"Butler's pretty bad —not horrible— but the movie itself is quite watchable, if a lot bleaker than your average disaster flick (...) Chris Sparling's script shows humanity at its worst (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Peter Sobczynski rogerebert.com	"'Greenland' never comes together into a truly satisfying package, but it deserves a little bit of credit for at least trying to do something unique within such a familiar framework (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
