I'm always up for a short film, and love Pixar's offering before each of their features. Battle at Big Rock doesn't disappoint, but it also doesn't do anything outside the norm of what you'd see in a "Jurassic" movie. All in all, it's an enjoyable way to spend 8 minutes.

Watched Jurassic World Battle At Big Rock Starring Andre Holland(Castle Rock) as Dennis, Natalie Holland(Into The Dark) as Mariana, Newcomers Melody Hurd as Kardasha, Chris Finlayson(Viking Destiny)as Greg. I really enjoyed it though I was mildly disappointed in The "Battle" Between The Nasutoceratops and Allosaurus but both Dinos were awesome and well designed it was only 30 secs long and the Little girl with was kinda jarring but i loved the suspense bring it back to Jurassic Park also the world Building going to Jurassic World 3 the seeds of the 3rd film are planted which I like .

Screenplay By Emily Carmichael(Pacific Rim Uprising ) and Amazing Direction from Colin Trevorrow(Jurassic World) Cinematography by Larry Fong(Kong Skull Island),Amazing Score from Amie Doherty(The Act) A Preview What is To Come in Jurassic World 3 8/10

Well made, low budget short. I enjoyed every shot of it. Worth giving it a chance and stay till the end titles roll. It gives you an interesting preview of what the world of the upcoming Jurassic World 3 might look like.

Edge of my seat stuff! Buy I guess the downside of a short is that I'm left wanting more! Love the bits in the credits too. Nice!

Since I can remember I've aleays loved dinosaurs and Jurassic Park, but this is just ten mins of cliches, CGI and stuped actions. The end credit videos were kinda funny and when you love JP it can be worth to watch but this big chunk of money should better be invested into great story art.

If you liked the Jurassic Park movies for the battles between dinos, then this short is just as good as the movies.

But if this is where the franchise is headed, a kind of "Planet of the Apes" overthrow of humanity where our hubris boomerangs on us, then I'm afraid the next movie will be very predictable.

Give us more. 10 mins of on the edge of your seat. Wow.

*laughing out loud* Super awesome! I was pumped since the beginning and even more pumped when the action started to roll out. Definitely worth the time. 8 minutes, every one of them filled with thrill and joy. Great job, Pixar!

Cool little story post-Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom! Movie-quality dinosaur action with serious stakes for the blended family! :-)

Very good CGI, but it does not bring anything new to the other films. The dialogs are random and forced. Maybe it would be better to spend a little more time on the writing than on the visuals. I had a good time though.

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!

As someone who enjoys the Jurassic Franchise (Despite some of the garbage it has churned out recently) I can say that this short film was actually of good quality. This is especially good due to it being easily accessible. You don't have to own a random streaming service or pay around $8 for it, instead it is readily available on youtube. If you like the Jurassic World movies, this 10 minute short is well worth a watch. It has many cliches and the post credits are amusing (Though reused in Jurassic World Dominion) as it shows what life is like with these prehistoric creatures in our world. Something Jurassic World Dominion fails to do.

This is short movie very great and awesome, full of sense of wonder, terror and thrills elements.. I'm very excited and hype is real to Jurassic World 3, Colin Trevorrow and Emily Carmichael was brilliant and genius!

I had no idea that this short was coming out, let alone that it was being made. So when I found out about it I was pretty excited to see what it was all about. I'm happy to announce that this short was pretty perfect.

The story is simple. It's basically set after the events of Fallen Kingdom, where the dinosaurs have now arrived inland and are wreaking havoc all over the world(?). This short follows a family of five on a camping trip, or maybe they actually live there to get away from the dinosaurs. Because there are some dinosaurs they fear. And you fear for the characters lives. There are subtle hints at the beginning that foreshadows the ending, which I thought was great. In that sense, it came full circle, which is pretty cool.

There are a few post credit scenes which are cool, the first one was hilarious, so keep watching til the end. I'll give this short a 9/10. Hopefully the next Jurassic World movie is as good as this short, because this was great.

Same old ideas.......... The ending credits are a way lot better! It should inverse.

The story is just basic Family bonding short film, we hardly knew the characters but I still give them credit for giving their all into their performance, I love that they introduce to a new herbivore Nasutoceratops and I love the brand new update on the Male Allosaurus, I can't wait for JW3 It would be intresting to see how the world will live among dinosaurs, but who knows? "Life Finds Away"

It was fun I guess. Probably prefered twice as long though. Bot sure is it 7 or 8 out of 10 but I did enjoy it and that is what important. First thing I hate the little kid, he just put me off. Other characters are great. Nice use of Chehov's gun, or arbalest to be precise)) The short makes dinos look terrifying to people, but any wild animal is threat to human. So the only point in showing not a bear but an allosaurus to make the scene spectacular. Found myself be more interested in credit scenes some of them were scarier then main event and others so funny. In conclussion it is nice small piece, got me hyped for the feature length one.

Been a fan of the original since '93, but it's been going down hill ever since and it has been a painful ride. This short was a sign for me to say that I'm gonna pass on the next iterations. Way to sell out all credibility, all mystery, all tension... all the 'amazingness', the respect we could have for dinosaurs and our humbleness towards them. This was 10 minutes of pure torture with an ending that made me feel physically ill of disappointment. 2 stars for the cgi and the original ending credits.

A film that remembers the wonder of seeing dinosaurs for the first time and the terrible fascination of realising they're going to eat the goat. Hitting all the notable merits of going where dinosaurs live, while reminding the audience in the world of genetically engineered theme park audience this place is now the back garden or the commute to work
