Battle at Big Rock (2019)
Trev is BACK in Battle at Big Rock!

I was so glad I stuck around to see this short after NBC aired Jurassic World. Sets up the step family camping out in their trusty trailer quickly, but not haphazardly. Easter eggs were dropped early that would pay off at the end, and between the Dino on Dino fighting & the intensity of the latter scenes wherein the family fights to survive, this is one under 10 minute film that packs a wallop! Can hardly WAIT to see JW3 if it's in THIS director's skillful hands! Stick around thru the end credits as some of the snippets of "Living with Dinosaurs" are an absolute HOOT!
