Critics call “The End of Oak Street” a crowd-pleasing popcorn movie, the best dinosaur movie since the ’90s

Don’t miss “The End of Oak Street”, now showing in cinemas!

Critics are enjoying “The End of Oak Street,” praising the direction, style and performances, with one even calling it “a callback to classic sci-fi adventure.” 

In their review, Collider, besides describing the film as a callback to sci-fi adventure classics, described the film as a lot of fun. They’re particularly impressed with director David Robert Mitchell’s work on the movie and, of course, Anne Hathaway. “It’s 90 minutes of edge-of-your-seat entertainment that commits to its concept and entertains throughout,” they wrote. “Big, loud, and guaranteed to make you jump at least once, it’s another eye-catching performance from the always-busy Hathaway, and proof that blockbuster entertainment doesn’t need to follow a franchise formula.”

Anne Hathaway wants her suburban mom character Denise Platt to be a surprise.

While crafting the look for her character Denise Platt, an early ’80s wife and mom living in the suburbs in “The End of Oak Street,” Hathaway was inspired by Dorothy’s iconic look in “The Wizard of Oz.” “I thought about the time in history when Denise would have gotten married, and what the world around her would have been like, how things would have changed, so I wanted her to be someone who felt a little bit like a doll, who may have felt like a little girl who hadn’t quite grown up all the way,” shares Hathaway. “And the more I read the script, I kind of kept coming back to this reference point of Dorothy from ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ and I was speaking to Erin Benach, our costume designer, and I said, ‘Do you think you could please put me in a lot of blue before the dinosaurs come? Because I feel like that’s Dorothy in her gingham dress.’ 

It was a dream to work with Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor, say the filmmakers of “THE END OF OAK STREET,” in cinemas and IMAX starting August 12

“The cast is phenomenal.”

So says producer J.J. Abrams of Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella and Christian Convery, who, together, play a 1980s suburban family suddenly thrust into an adventure of prehistoric proportions in “The End of Oak Street.” “I’ve known Anne a little bit for a long time and have wanted to work with her forever. Ewan as well. So, this was a bit of a dream to get a chance to work with them both. The kids are wonderful as is the supporting cast,” says the filmmaker, who does know a thing or two about working with great ensembles, having directed films from the Star Wars and Star Trek franchises and, of course, being the creator of TV phenomenon Lost.
