Maze Runner Trilogy

Post by Peeps »

I went in watching these movies with no knowledge of the books they are based on

The Maze Runner - decent premise to start the movie off. kind of Lord of the Flies vibe with a twist. Acting is descent enough and was easy to follow along with (not too much confusion other than what they were going for, why were they there, why was Teresa iffy about thomas). I think it set the tone for the franchise in building trust, friendship and figuring out just what is going on.

The Scorch Trials - this Giancarlo Esposito's first role I saw him in (yes i didnt watch breaking bad or better call sal). this one seemed pretty formula based. get so far, trust people, trust is broken, find new people to trust old trusted people in cahoots with main villain who then try to slaughter new people you trust. finally raise up and say you cant ask anyone to come with you but youre going to go do a thing to end all of this then everyone says they will follow you as you become this leader after being in bed with the villains.

Death Cure - this one i havent watched yet but look forward to it to see how it plays out (im sure they find a cure and all live happily ever after but I mean how they arrive there)


on a side note the creatures are very similar to the ones in The Last of Us and thought, hey maybe this is the start of it all

so far I would give it 3.5-4 outta 5 stars
