The End of Oak Street: Is It the Best Dino Movie? David Robert Mitchell’s new dinosaur adventure throws Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor into a suburban nightmare 200 million years in the making. But does it deserve to be called the best dinosaur movie since Jurassic Park?

In this spoiler-light review and ranking, we break down what makes The End of Oak Street such a fun throwback to Amblin-style adventure filmmaking, from its 1982 suburban setting to its prehistoric mayhem. We also examine where the movie falls short, including uneven CGI, frustrating character decisions, and dinosaur sequences that don't quite reach the heights of Spielberg's classics.

Then comes the real debate: what actually is the best dinosaur movie since Jurassic Park?

We revisit The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Peter Jackson's King Kong, and some much stranger contenders before making the case for 2025's Primitive War. Luke Sparke's Vietnam-era dinosaur movie had a fraction of a blockbuster budget, yet delivered feathered raptors, multiple T. rexes, Quetzalcoatlus attacks, and some seriously impressive prehistoric action.

The End of Oak Street is good. But another dinosaur movie may deserve the crown.
