I thoroughly loved it - simply put. I didn't feel the need to dissect it, nor critique every aspect, because you lose momentum otherwise - besides, it's a very 'film student' thing to do and I can't understand how anyone could possibly enjoy ANY film, by dissecting it piece by little piece (unless you're a film critic and you're paid to watch it over and over of course). Just watch the damn film and either you enjoy it, or not. Everyone's opinion will differ and production teams can't please absolutely everyone. I watch films with this in mind and therefore, like every film I view, I choose to simply sit back and consume the film in one bite, taking in the complexities of each flavour and texture....as a whole; that's where the real experience is...for me at least. And Greenland was delicious! I enjoyed the story-line (and how they managed to make it quite different to the usual Doomsday stereotypes), the non-stop twists and turns, the excellent acting from well-respected leads, and the 'answer' at the end (can't stand films that leave an open ending for the audience to interpret; that s*** doesn't gel with me; just finish the damn story and stop being pretentiously 'creative'; it's bs). So THANK YOU for a feel good ending and for closing the story off, so it doesn't leave us wondering. Terrific film and must-see!

I adore Melissa, but I hate to say it (though it needs to be said), this was one of THE worst films I've watched so far, and I've watched many. It just was not funny in ANY way, and nor was it in her usual comedic style. It was very juvenile in the delivery and dull beyond measure. The over-acting and 'trying too hard to be funny' by Melissa (why??) and the under-acting (and lack of expression) by the rest of the cast (*yawn*), was mind-numbing and a huge disappointment. I 'smiled' a couple times at best, but not once did I laugh like I normally do with her films. The 'jokes' were more like really bad dad-jokes (some were worse) and whoever wrote the script needs to go back to screenwriting school - I've seen better scripts written by primary school children. Am actually pretty shocked - I kept waiting for it to improve, but it just kept getting worse and by the end of all my cringing, I felt more embarrassed for the actors than anything else. Not some of her best work I'm afraid, and the Director didn't deliver the goods.
