Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous: Hidden Adventure
What's the Story?
In JURASSIC WORLD CAMP CRETACEOUS: HIDDEN ADVENTURE, a storm devastates Isla Nublar, leaving the six teenage characters from the Camp Cretaceous series stranded. There's no food for them, but they are food for the dinosaurs who inhabit the island. They work together to find a hidden bunker with a stockpile of food. From the perspective of main character Darius, viewers are offered two choices to pick from in order to move the plot forward at peak moments of suspense. Will Darius and the rest of the crew make it to safety?
Is It Any Good?
An engaging, interactive viewing experience, this special is a suitable introduction to the Jurassic Park universe for big kids and tweens. Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous: Hidden Adventure is visually impressive as it entrusts its plot to viewers, stopping at points where the suspense is extreme to offer two to three choices. Not only are kids empowered by determining the direction of the storyline, but the diversity of the crew and the depth of the characters ensure that everyone can find a character to whom they can relate. The show will likely be loved by the die-hard Jurassic Park fans and enjoyed by those who aren't. The fun of choosing the adventure, the cool graphics, and dinosaurs on display -- because who doesn't like dinos? -- make this one for the whole family.
