🦕 What is "Battle at Big Rock"?
"Battle at Big Rock" is a 22-minute short that premiered on Netflix in August 2019. It was directed by Colin Trevorrow, the same guy who made "Jurassic World" and "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom." The short follows the story of a family that gets caught in the middle of a battle between humans and dinosaurs in a national park in California.
🦕 A prehistoric campsite
Imagine the scene: a normal, everyday family, camping in a seemingly peaceful place. Suddenly, boom! An Allosaurus decides that the campfire is the new hot spot for grilling meat. And who needs a chef when you have a dinosaur with razor-sharp teeth?
The family, who up until that point was quietly roasting marshmallows, finds themselves immersed in a first-class Jurassic adventure. Mom, the pillar of the family, becomes a true heroine, while the oldest son discovers that his love of video games has prepared him for this situation (if only to handle the controls).
🦕 The action is intense
The action is what I liked most about this short. The visual effects are incredible, with dinosaurs that move with a speed and precision that makes you feel like you're right there. The battle between humans and dinosaurs is intense and exciting, with moments of suspense that make you scream "NOOOO!"
🦕 The family is what makes the short special
But what makes "Battle at Big Rock" truly special is the family at the center of the story. The mother, daughter, and son are forced to fight for their lives in the midst of battle, and their relationship is what makes the short so touching. The mother's actress, Natalie Alyn Lind, is amazing, and her performance is what makes the story so believable.
