Thoughts on The End of Oak Street (spoilers)

What is it streaming on?

Is this the spoiler thread?





















Was there more than just 2 Janettes? Trying to recall what else was in the last scene.

There were two Jeanettes.

If you really think about it, the ending of this movie was incredibly fricked up.

She allowed the new universe’s version of her and her kids to be sent back and likely eaten while she stole the new universe’s Ewan mcgreggor

I always do this. Going back almost a decade. Not new

The time and wormhole stuff was too convenient for me. I knew something like that was gonna happen when dad got caught. I laughed at the boy missing literally everything except apparently that random kid’s bike spokes. I liked the nostalgia. Reminded me to make sure Steve Winwood found a way back into my playlist rotation.

just roll with it...

One of the worst movies I've seen in awhile

My one issue with that is the Ewan that she ended up with did not go through the same things and learn the same lessons and doesn’t appreciate her nearly as much as the original one.

I feel like he didn’t have to change as much as the wife did. Once she stopped being so cold, they connected pretty quickly.

I liked it

Ewan McGregor death was crazy and as others said the first thought I had after the movie was that Anne Hathaway left the other version of their family to die.

What did I like about this movie? I got to help out a locally owned theater, for one. And it was a decent crowd too. Not Spider-Man full, but I'd say 2/3 or so.

And sure, if you want to get out of the heat and see dinosaurs, it's got that going for it. More on that below.

But the movie itself is trash. Clearly riding the Stranger Things coattails. Not so subtle songs and lyrics sung by the daughter - we get it, she's a LESBIAN! OK!. They did exist in the 80's.

Anne and Ewin play terrible characters. He more so, as the most pathetic puss of a husband he could be, and no wonder his son follows his lead. Not enough testosterone in the both of them to fuel a matchbox car. The only male identifying member of the family was the dog.

If you're gonna have your 13 yr old BOY carry around a bow & arrow, and seriously use it against dinosaurs, at LEAST make it look legit. Not some Playskool set that could barely break the skin of a human, let alone that of an armored - thick skinned multi ton beast.

But you want dinosaurs, you certainly get a lot of dinosaur action and that’s what I wanted so I am leaving satisfied

Do you? Really?


There's a list of things I didn't care for in this movie, but the amount of mega fauna packed into this 2 mile radius (or whatever it was) would only exist at the San Diego Zoo. And nope, a stegosaur isn't going to be in the same time or place as a Spinosaurus. Separated by 10's of millions of years and 1000's of miles on the globe.


The 2 sauropods getting freaky was kinda funny, but why did they have to be woolly? There are NO woolly sauropods!! FFS. They didn't even have feathers, so why put anything on them? Was it to hide their naughty bits when they were doing it dino-style?

That polaroid was the best part of the movie, tbh.

I didn't care for the weird camera angles they tossed in at the family room pow wow. We get it, you're artsy. But enough already.

And lastly , how are 3 large crocodile like critters going to go into a house, climb up 2 sets of stairs, and into a small room but leave what I saw was dozens of human snack lunches, just laying wide out in the open, untouched? WTF?

Oh, right. So the movie could happen. Of course.

3/10 - I liked Primitive War better. At least it knew what it was trying to do.

But the audience seemed to like it well enough. Bunch of weirdos. My guess is most will give this a 5 or 6 out of 10.
