Review of Greenland (2020) by Freedomgirl — 13 Feb 2021

Make no mistake, the environmental apocalypse that you would think is the main focus of the movie is not. That's third on the list of this movies intention. First, it's values-preachy, cliché family drama with the Dad attempting to atone for his cheating ways, with far too much time spent on predictable and shallow family drama dialogue.

Second, the movie is a woke vehicle filled with contrived, virtue signaling clichés. Literally every brown skinned person is "good" and "honorable" and the white folks are nothing but morally corrupt hillbillies.

And then there's the meteors falling that you wish would blow the whole lot of them to hades. I truly fear that such terrible filmmaking is becoming the new standard, where authentic character development, good dialogue and subtlety that allows the viewer to feel engaged and THINK, are dead.

Instead, audience is treated like morons that need to have thoughtless clichés beaten over their head so they "get it". I recently saw "The Sound of Metal" and cried because it had been so long since I saw a thoughtful, genuine movie.

More of that please and less of this movies' mindless awfulness.
