The Pliley Review

  Genre:  Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi, Dinosaur Action Rating:   TV-Y7 Synopsis:   The Nublar Five finds themselves in Italy, near the border, after a plane crash involving a cargo dinosaur and a familiar face, while coming to terms with Brooklyn's actions.  *** After the end of season 2 I was not looking forward to this season, but I am so glad I gave it a chance. The voice actors did a great job at continuing their growth and embodying their characters very well. Dealing with the aftermath of season 2 there is a lot of talking and as my hubby pointed out, a lot of teen angst, even though I'm pretty sure the characters are supposed to be in their early twenties. I did defend them on this front as the situations they were dealing with would throw off people much older. Just keep in mind a lot of talking. With all the storylines and talking, this does leave room for a few dinosaurs but not enough in my opinion. Though I did appreciate another connection to the...

  Genre: Action, Comedy Rating:   PG-13 Synopsis: Former CIA spies Emily and Matt are pulled back into espionage after their secret identities are exposed. *** Immediately upon watching the trailer for this movie, I could not help but compare it to the recent Mark Wahlberg movie with a similar plot called The Family Plan. However, I love both Cameron and Jamie so decided to give it a chance.  Being blunt I will say that this movie was hard not to compare to the other and was not as good in my opinion, though it is hard to go into too much detail without giving spoilers. I felt like this movie was not as natural and every potential joke was forced.  Thankfully, I will say that the fight scenes and the chemistry between Cameron and Jamie was great to watch. Sadly, I feel that the chemistry between the child actors and the adults are what drove a wedge into the story for me. That mixed with the jokes that just didn’t land right and the fact that the spies were just te...

                                                              Season Two Genre:  Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi, Dinosaur Action Rating:   TV-Y7 Synopsis:   With so many questions still not answered Darius and friends follow the clues to find out what exactly is going on while facing new dangers, finding new friends - and discovering surprising revelations. *** It is so hard to discuss without spoilers but WOW. Another 10 episodes but more than one seemed like filler. Honestly, I was super disappointed with this season. The main cast of voice actors still did an incredible job so I think the writers dropped the ball on this one.  It was already precarious with the 1st season as there were already theories with alternative agendas and villains behind the villains. So going into se...

                                                    Season One Genre:  Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi, Dinosaur Action Rating:   TV-Y7 Synopsis:   Years after escaping the dangers of Isla Nublar, Darius and friends are living among dinosaurs again - all while processing a devastating loss.  *** I love Camp Creatous so I was excited to know what happened to the Nublar 6. This was not what I had in mind and I am not sure how I feel about it.  There are a total of 10 Episodes each running around 24 minutes each. I found this to be a good balance, yet with more detailed storytelling it could have been extended but I see they wanted to keep the same pace.  Each of the characters brought new life to their roles showing the maturity of the years that have passed since we last saw them. I was disappointed that th...
