The End of Oak Street (2026)

A whole Michigan street wakes up millions of years in the past, and the dinosaurs are barely scarier than the Platt family’s dinner table. Denise is quietly thinking about divorce, Greg is hiding that his only job is delivering pizza, and David Robert Mitchell builds the movie on those secrets. That’s the smart part. The weak part is what people do once the dinosaurs show up, wandering outside and making choices that only make sense because the plot needs them there. It also borrows so heavily from 1980s Spielberg that it sometimes feels like a cover band. But when it rolls, it rolls. The creature effects are excellent, the chases are fast, and Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor play a worn-out married couple finding each other again under pressure with real warmth. It made $121.6 million worldwide on a reported $80 to $92 million. A 6.9 because the thrills are real and so are the plot holes. $10.98 says the next headline about solar flares sends you to the window to check for a long-necked neighbor.

What works: The dinosaur effects and chases are thrilling, and Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor give the family drama real weight.

What doesn’t: The characters make baffling choices to keep the plot moving, and the Spielberg borrowing sometimes feels more like copying than tribute.

Who it’s for: Anyone who grew up on 1980s adventure movies and still wants dinosaurs in the backyard.
