"Short movies are a mercy, but every once in a while you get a Greenland 2: Migration, which plays like a more thoughtful and meditative piece had been snipped within an inch of its life. The follow-up to 2020's - a surprising meteor apocalypse film, which flew under the radar at the height of the pandemic - Ric Roman Waugh's unlikely sequel picks up after the end of the world as we know it, and delivers many of the same thrills and dilemmas,"
"For Waugh (and for returning screenwriter Chris Sparling, who penned Migration with Mitchell LaFortune), the mere existence of a Greenland sequel feels like another shot at forcing their characters into harrowed situations as they search for glimmers of hope. How often do disaster movies get the chance to show you what happens next? Five years after the mass extinction event, John, his wife Alison (Morena Baccarin) and their now-teenage son Nathan (Roman Griffin Davis) are an integrated part of their sprawling subterranean society,"
Greenland: Migration resumes five years after a meteor-driven mass extinction, following John Garrity, his wife Alison and their teenage son Nathan living in an extensive underground society. The sequel reuses and reverses original footage to show humanity retreating back underground amid radiation storms and falling asteroid fragments. Characters occupy defined roles—engineer, administrator and student—and rarely venture outside until events pressure them to act. The film supplies tense sequences and familiar disaster-movie dilemmas while attempting moments of hope. The intercontinental scope and emotional beats feel overly condensed, limiting the sequel's ability to be fully affecting.
