Sergio Burstein Los Angeles Times Sep 9, 2026
The film fully functions as an entertainment product that, yes, has several implausible moments, but whose dinosaurs (created with an unusually effective mix of CGI and practical effects) look fabulous. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

It’s been a long time since dinosaur films have felt this frightening or tense. Go to Full Review

On one level, The End of Oak Street is nothing more -- or less -- than a swift, satisfying exercise in fight-or-flight suspense entertainment. It’s an escapist adventure with enjoyably ropy special effects and a nasty visceral kick. Go to Full Review

While the narrative is a hand-me-down version of the fragile nuclear familial unit rehabilitated after confrontation with an unprecedented happening in the vein of Spielberg of Shyamalan, The End of Oak Street at least excels at what it's serving... Go to Full Review

Mr Hollywood 11 hrs ago The movie has fun with the premise. Enough good scenes to make it worthwhile. Overall you’ll forget it as soon as you start watching another movie See more Preetham 12 hrs ago CGI work is not good, I can green screen at some parts See more Prophet R 15 hrs ago The End of Oak Street was decent. The premise is interesting, the creature attacks deliver, and there are some great kills. When it embraces being a straight-up dinosaur survival movie, it's at its best. The actual plot is just okay. It kept me entertained, but I never felt like the story was as strong as the concept. Where it really lost me was the ending. Greg sacrifices himself and dies, only for the surviving family to travel back to shortly before everything happened and essentially find a way to save another version of him. It's a clever idea on paper, but it felt a little too convenient after everything the movie had put these characters through. And once you start thinking about it, the ending creates more questions than it answers. The Greg who went through everything with Denise is still dead. There are apparently duplicate people running around, including two Jeannettes, and the movie never really explains what happened to the other versions of everybody or exactly how these timelines are supposed to work. Maybe leaving some mystery was intentional, but there's a difference between leaving me thinking and leaving me asking, “Wait… so what the hell happened to everybody else?” Great creature moments, some memorable kills, okay plot, and an ending that got a little too outlandish for me.
