(ANSA) - ROME, OCTOBER 04 - Rule number one of disaster movies: whatever is about to destroy humanity is never worse than humanity itself when it is in danger.
This at least applies to Greenland, the film directed by Ric Roman Waugh, in theaters since October 8 with Universal Pictures and Lucky Red, which tells the story of John Garrity (Gerard Butler) and his family in the throes of a natural disaster.
On stage the usual formula: feelings, family and disaster which in the case of Greenland takes the form of an asteroid-comet, nicknamed Clarke, which is about to pass very close to Earth.
A comet not at all Christmas, but really cursed that has a wicked characteristic: that of shattering into a thousand pieces that rain on the surface of the planet with disastrous effects.
By now several cities have already been razed to the ground, but the impact, the real and definitive one, is yet to come: a huge fragment of Clarke staging towards Europe will cause the sure extinction of all humanity.
In this climate of panic and confusion, John's goal will be to rescue his wife (Brazilian actress Morena Baccarin) and her son (Roger Dale Floyd) to the only safe place, the anti-nuclear hangars located in Antarctica, in a fight against time and precisely other men for the same goal.
