Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: Mitchell and his team can never settle on exactly what type of film they were trying to make, and so even though The End of Oak Street has a few moments that work, they’re surrounded by many others that don’t. In trying to emulate Spielberg – there’s even a blatant Back to the Future (produced by Spielberg) rip-off towards the end – all Mitchell has done is show how difficult it is to be the master.

- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: goes to ridiculous and illogical lengths to posit that we don’t know what we are missing until it’s gone…There’s a lot of Spielberg DNA in the dinosaur sequences, but this is Spielberg crossed with something like “Jumanji.”
- Sarah Gopaul @ Imagery at the Movies
- Excerpt: There’s something about dinosaurs that captivates audiences and this film offers a fresh approach to blending the timelines.
- [New] | Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: A creature feature with its tongue in cheek and one leg in a dinosaur’s mouth.
- Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: I’m not best pleased with David Robert Mitchell’s creature feature, but if you or your kids are obsessed with the big reptiles, this movie is better than any of the Jurassic World films.
- Jacob Oller @ The A.V. Club
- Excerpt: Picking apart Spielbergian wonder like a flock of Pteranodons nipping at a human body, The End Of Oak Street tears stereotypical ’80s suburbia a new one (well, a very, very old one) and it’s all as silly as it sounds.
- Eddie Pasa @ DC Filmdom
- Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It proves that the Jurassic World franchise doesn’t need to have a monopoly on dinosaurs in film.
