Battle at Big Rock
Battle at Big Rock is a short movie that takes place after the events of Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom. Dinosaurs now roam free and considering it's widespread all over the news the plot seems ridiculous that a family would go camping in the woods. Any how that's the premise for this eight minute bite size morsel. Despite the silly storyline, Battle at Big Rock is rather suspenseful and very well made. The special effects are superb and this short is directed by Jurassic World helmer Colin Trevorrow. The tone of this mini movie is more in line with the original Jurassic Park. A family are out camping in the woods when a group of herbivores enter their camp. The family watch in awe before a carnivore shows up and then it becomes a fight for survival. Battle at Big Rock gives us a taste of what the next instalment of the franchise could be like. Whilst it is entertaining it's a little silly. As I mentioned earlier. Why on Earth would you go camping when you are aware that dinosaurs are roaming about? The film starts with audio of news reports of escalating Dino encounters! A Bear or Mountain lion entering camp is a dangerous risk that those who like the outdoors are willing to take but a dinosaur? "No sir! Book me a hotel!" Whilst attention has been given to SFX and cinematography, logic and reality is missing here. There's a particular scene with a young child shooting a crossbow at the nasty beast attacking her parents. The Kid fires off two bolts in quick succession. I'm no crossbow expert but don't those things take some time to reload? Putting the hugely obvious plot holes aside this short movie is welcome and sets up the forthcoming Jurassic World 3. The end credits are probably most entertaining. They're found footage of Dino encounters in the wild which are rather good and got me excited to go see the next movie when it's released. Judging by this short I probably will need to leave the brain at home.
