Netflix’s animated series “Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous” has just debuted its fifth action-packed season. You may be thinking, why is she reviewing a kids’ show?

Fans of the Jurassic franchise have been eagerly awaiting the final film, Jurassic World: Dominion and it’s finally out On Demand and VOD. I’m a huge fan of the franchise and I’m a bit of a dinosaur nerd (and not ashamed of it). So I was pumped to kick back and watch it last night. Jurassic World: Dominion plays heavy on nostalgia as they bring all of the main characters/actors from the previous films together, Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Laura Dern, Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, Isabela Sermon, and BD Wong. We also see some of our favorite dinosaurs including Rexy and Blue, who have somehow given birth to a baby, Betta. It was a great idea, especially seeing that this is supposedly the final film of the franchise. A ton of new characters join the film including DeWanda Wise, Mamoudou Athie, Campbell Scott, and more.
