Plot (spoiler-light): Years after the comet “Clarke” hits the earth in the first movie called, ahem,  GREENLAND, the Garrity family ventures across a barely-recovered world to reunite with scattered survivors and secure a safer future. The route is booby-trapped by desperate humans, crumbling infrastructure, and a planet that still hasn’t settled, meaning every crossing, convoy, and checkpoint can go sideways in a heartbeat.

What works: This is a sturdy, propulsive follow-up to an underrated 2020 streaming-only thriller. The filmmaking sticks to clean set-ups/payoffs, keeps the family at the center, and delivers practical-feeling chaos, meaning close calls, claustrophobic scrambles, and a few “hold your breath” countdowns. As a (please lord let-it-be) final chapter, it ties a bow without over-promising a rebuilt world.

What doesn’t: Predictability creeps in, and the Garritys might be the unluckiest family on the (barely there) planet. Shot at? Check. Ramshackle bridge crossing? Check. Enormous earthquake the second they’re mid-span? Of course. The stacked coincidences are giggle-worthy even as they’re gripping.

Bottom line (grade: B-): I didn’t need to know exactly what happened to the Garritys after GREENLAND, but this delivers a competent, sometimes tense epilogue. Will I see it again? No. Worth a full-price ticket? Probably not. Still: calling it bad would be wrong. It’s a solid, serviceable closer.

Just please no GREENLAND 3: 2 CRATER 2 CRATEROUS.
