Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, Season 2 (2021)



Trapped on Isla Nublar after the events of Jurassic World (and, of course, of their own first season), the kids of Camp Cretaceous must now try to survive on the dinosaur-infested island long enough for help to reach them.  At least the Indominus Rex is dead now, so they only have to deal with regular dinos.  I mean, what are the chances there's another genetically engineered monstrosity hidden on the island?

Spoiler: there is another genetically engineered monstrosity hidden on the island.  Though this season is rather more about setting up the existence of that monstrosity than actually facing it.  I think I can guess what season three will be about, though!

For this series then, the kids will need to deal with more mundane dinos, as well as some newcomers to the island who may or may not be allies.

Overall, I think this sophomore series of Camp Cretaceous is not quite as good as the first.  The animation occasionally looks a bit awkward, especially in action sequences, and there's very much an air of 'putting things in place for next season' about the plotline.  Nonetheless it remains a fun, PG-level dinosaur-themed adventure: certainly better fare than the films themselves.
