The film is full of running, lots of it and the characters barely break sweat at times.It never really felt like a film, more a TV show, where you watch the first two of eight hours. It would have been better making it apparent from the start, that there would be no real ending and it would lead to a further part.It was ok, a few good scenes, I stuck.with it, but it is a bit of a mess and full of cliches and inconsistencies. Too many of the residents seemed oddly content and at ease with being there, the female character served little purpose and how one of the characters who chose to stay in the camp, then miraculously ended up outside made no sense.5/10
I would waste every second on this movie. People are saying don't waste your money.... well i'd waste every cent. Not every book's movie has to be perfect. I have never read the book and this movie is amazing. even if i read it it wont lessen my rating for this movie it was great!! i recommend it. I have re watched this movie so many times i love it !!! i just wish thomas held himself back a little and the rest listened a little better.
This film adaptation follows the novel of the same name. There are some deviations that, in my opinion, were unnecessary and raised unanswered questions (especially the Griever Hole scene). The lighting was a bit dark at times, and the plot as well as characters could be confusing even if you read the book. Still, those aside, the movie is alright. The visuals of the Glade and the maze are fantastic, and the acting is decent too. Just try to suspend your disbelief until the film's over.
The Maze RunnerIt's mysterious and gripping in it's first hour but after that it dips down to the same overlong repetition.
