Migration review: Close the borders
AV Club••entertainment
Key Points:
- Greenland 2: Migration continues the story of the Garrity family facing sporadic natural disasters caused by a killer comet, though these events often feel arbitrary and serve mainly as set pieces rather than meaningful plot developments.
- The family’s journey takes them from Greenland to a post-apocalyptic Europe, culminating in a war over a seemingly untouched, nutrient-rich area in France, which the film portrays as a hopeful refuge amid widespread devastation.
- Unlike the first film, Greenland 2 lacks emotional depth and realistic conflict, presenting the Garritys as a harmonious family who face little genuine adversity or meaningful character development.
- The film has been criticized for its naive and wishful portrayal of survival, ignoring the psychological trauma and societal challenges that would realistically follow
