Greenland is a thrilling race against time for one family as they hope to get to safety in the bunker before it ends up being too late. The short of it is that Greenland is the modern-day Deep Impact with a lottery system deciding who lives and who dies. There is a difference between the two films as this film does not focus on the government leaders or news coverage. Instead, the focus is on…
