Greenland 2 Review: Gerard Butler’s Sequel Gets Surprisingly Deep

Set years after the events of Greenland, Migration reveals that surviving the comet impact was only the beginning. The Garrity family is still alive, but Earth remains hostile, with toxic air, relentless storms, and fragments continuing to fall from the sky. More importantly, the film shows how fear, violence, and scarcity have reshaped humanity itself.

In this breakdown, we explore how Greenland 2 trades spectacle for realism, focusing on trauma, moral collapse, and survival psychology. From Gerard Butler’s unexpected therapy scenes to brutal confrontations between survivors, the movie feels closer to prestige post-apocalyptic dramas than traditional disaster blockbusters. The result is a sequel where the danger doesn’t come solely from nature, but from people willing to do anything to survive.

We also discuss the movie’s biggest questions, including the handling of Nathan’s insulin and the government’s long-term planning, and why these issues are easier to forgive given the film’s grounded tone. Greenland 2: Migration proves that sequels don’t need to outdo the original to be effective. Sometimes, exploring what happens next is the most compelling disaster of all.
