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
Coleman Spilde Salon.com Aug 25
Mitchell’s self-imposed moderation might not look radical at first. But in a blockbuster landscape like the one we’re in now, thoughtful constraint is welcome and needed. Go to Full Review
Sammie Purcell Rough Draft Atlanta 2d
...when it leans too far into pastiche, copying the beats of blockbuster action movies ... instead of leaning into Mitchell’s particular sensibilities, ["The End of Oak Street"] loses its bite. Go to Full Review
Michael Nordine Movie Brief 3d
Only intermittently aware that it’s actually a comedy, however, Oak Street would have been considerably more entertaining had it leaned further into its inherent silliness. Go to Full Review

I do understand the appeal to The End of Oak Street, but it doesn't have that je ne sais quoi that Spielberg has and the visuals aren't nearly as good as they should be. Go to Full Review

Selena S 1h Great movie, full of surprises! See more Diana 2h I really liked the movie but the sound was hard to hear. This isn't the first time at Regal in Venice. I thought they have surround sound....???? See more andrew 3h Worse movie I have seen at a theater See more Tom 5h Was ok , not quite what i was expecting See more eb 8h a bit too disney for me See more Matt R 10h End of Oak Street was a complete miss for me. Teleporting your neighborhood back 200 million years? Come on. 😂 It was boring, the dialogue was flat, and the whole thing was incredibly cheesy. The movie also has a major identity crisis. Is it a comedy? A thriller? Sci-fi? At one point I’m pretty sure even the movie stopped and asked, “Wait… what are we doing again?” Forgettable See more Read all reviews
