A/N: So with Battle at Big Rock now finally out for everyone to see, I can now finally post my review for Battle at Big Rock.
So without wasting time, let's get started.
Pros:
*I love how the continents on the earth in the Universal Intro was in the shape of the JP/JW Logo.

*The Radio noises that go on during the moment the title show up do a nice job foreshadowing on what's to happen in this film.
*The first part film starts off on a bit of a light note with a family just enjoying themselves at camping before the trouble begins.
*The Family is an okay cast.
*The CGI on the animals was actually pretty damn good and the lighting on them was perfect.
(Which you'd think for a short film getting a release straight to TV and Online wouldn't have a similar budget as a film).
*The moment with the mother Nasutoceratops and her baby entering the camp and only looking around while the family observed them was somewhat heart warming moment. It was similar to moments that did this in other films, like with the brachiosaurus scene in the first JP.
*I really like where the mother said "It's one of them". It gave a hint on just how the dinosaurs being loose in the main land is effecting things.
(Though trust me, I'll get to another pro that further shows this).
*The quick moment where the baby Nasutoceratops was playing with the lamp was just adorable.

*The Design of the Allosaurus (which was an adult in this short film compared to the juvenile in fallen kingdom) and the Nasutoceratops are really well done and their body colors looked awesome.

*The moment where the Adult Allosaurus attacked the baby Nasutoceratops made me jump a little.
*While the fight was short, it was still pretty entertaining.
*The Moment a Male Nasutoceratops (which was a much larger horned variant from the female) show up was unexpected, but awesome.

*The Adult Allosaurus' attack on the trailer the family was in was pretty suspenseful and the music that played during the scene really helped with the tension of the scene.
*The soundtrack for this short film did a good job with giving some light-hearted music as well as some horror type music as well to fit the moments of the scenes.
*This short film really did a good job in giving us a taste on what's to come for Jurassic World 3.
*The return of The Lost World theme was the best thing I've gotten to hear from this short film's soundtrack.
*I LOVED what was going on in the credits where we see multiple events going on at different parts of the world and it
Cons:
*I wish this film was just a bit longer, but, it's not a major con.
*Also not a major con, but the moment where a flying reptile (couldn't tell if it was a Pteranodon or a Dimorphodon cause if how fast it went) snatched up a pigeon during the wedding seemed a bit odd with it's model as it moved.
This next thing I had to say about the film is neither a pro or a con. It's just something I want to talk about real fast. This one part of the short film where the Adult Allosaurus was sticking his head inside the trailer, I legit thought that this short film was about to take the risk and actually have the Allosaurus eat the crying baby.

Anyway, with that all off my shoulder. that's my review on Battle at Big Rock. I give this film a 9/10. This film was an incredible 8 minute short film with a good score, nicely done lighting, the CGI on the Dinosaurs looks good next to the lighting on their models, the tension in the scenes was thrilling and the film just gives a nice set up to Jurassic World 3, which I'm definitely looking forward to.
