I can describe this movie in five words: Steven King meets Jurassic Park.

I’ve been looking forward to The End of Oak Street since I saw the first trailer, and it did not disappoint. This is easily the best dinosaur movie of the past decade+, and yes I’m including all of the Jurassic World crap movies.

And it just got better because I just noticed the movie title uses antanaclasis. I didn’t know I could love this movie more than I already do.

What’s scarier than a T-Rex?

A mother protecting her children. Anne Hathaway nailed it. All of the actors did, young and old alike. But Anne Hathaway was in another world. This is a movie that demands a lot from the actors. There’s a lot more going on here than just acting terrified. There’s one scene with Anne that was so good, I wanted to press rewind in the theater and watch her over and over. I can’t tell you which scene, because… SPOILERS. But I feel like you’ll know it when you see it.

This app is the best wingman for a movie goer, especially when you have to go. It even has a vibrating timer that is spot on for those 'go times' some of us need! There are many other features that are wonderful. It even lets you know when the kill scenes are coming up for the people and animals for those who may have sensitivities to that type of content. The staff go above and beyond!

Making the Unbelievable Believable

I’m a big science nerd and I can’t help but look for scientific inaccuracies in a movie. So it thrills me when a movie like this comes along that does something science-fictionally without trying to explain it one little bit. In the first three minutes, we get a tiny little background mention over the radio of strange ripples in space that baffle scientists. That’s about all the exposition we get for how this happened. It’s not about that. It’s about how a family copes with such a fantastic situation.

Family Dynamics

It isn’t just dinosaurs trying to rip the family apart. The family itself is struggling to stay together. The writer does a great job of exposition that tells us what’s going on inside a character’s head without actually telling us. It was brilliantly done.

Grade: A

About The Peetimes: Read a synopsis of first 3 minutes of this movie.

There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of The End of Oak Street.

Plot
After a mysterious cosmic event rips Oak Street from suburbia and transports their neighborhood to someplace unknown, the Platt family soon discovers that their very survival depends on them sticking together as they navigate their now unrecognizable surroundings.

Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂

Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
