The plot: Friendship. Love. Betrayal. Survival. The future is at stake as the teens face an epic final season of tough choices and surprising revelations.
The last season of Camp Cretaceous was so surprisingly good.
Pros: All the voice cast gave it their all in their performances “one more time”. I liked the storyline involving Kenji and his dad even though I wasn’t please to see it. We get tons of dinosaur action throughout the season. I enjoyed how the villains used technology on the dinosaurs. The kids’ friendships were tested to its limit and (Spoiler Alert) “they finally got off the island this time.
Cons: (Spoiler Alert) I was furious when Kenji’s Dad turns out to be the main villain. The ending feels like its rushing to fill time and I was sad to see this show end.
