Unlike many fire-and-forget disaster movies that have been released over the decades, Greenland 2: Migration is a survival story that can't be taken for granted.

Merv

Merv exploits its limitations by throwing in everything including the kitchen sink. Whether this approach makes things better or worse is up for debate, but one thing is certain: this doggie romcom successfully ticks a few boxes and is worth the stream.
