Greenland 2: Migration follows the Garrity family after a comet strike. They leave their bunker in Greenland to look for a new home. Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin return, with Roman Griffin Davis among the leads in Lionsgate’s sequel.
Where the family starts is the deciding clue
In the 2020 Greenland, a comet is approaching Earth and John Garrity, Allison and their son Nathan are trying to reach shelter. In the second film, the strike has already happened. The bunker is where the new journey starts, and the family has to decide what comes after taking refuge.
Both films involve the same family and the same disaster, so a mention of the comet or the Garritys may bring up either one. Ask whether the scene happens before the impact or during the family’s departure from shelter. The direction of the journey answers the instalment question more clearly than the disaster itself.
Match the sequel’s film credits
Ric Roman Waugh directs Greenland 2: Migration. The screenplay credits Mitchell LaFortune and Chris Sparling, with Sparling also credited as the creator of the characters. The sequel’s full title includes Migration, a useful word to retain when a listing shortens it to Greenland or only shows Butler and Baccarin.
For a viewer choosing between the two features, the original is the one about reaching a place of safety while time runs down. The sequel asks what the survivors can do when staying at the place they reached is no longer the answer. Use that choice to describe which story you want without summarising how either journey ends.
