,
Terminator Salvation
—2/28/09

The Village (2004)
A well-meaning, half-hour
Twilight Zone
episode stretched to the outer limits of a two-hour feature.

There's room enough for both
Pete's Dragon
s in this big old world.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
In what starts to feel like a 'meta' running joke (or admission of creative exhaustion), the characters keep stumbling upon the leftovers of the earlier films...
Jurassic World: Dominion (2022)
