Review of Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018) by Jacoobi456 — 27 Jan 2018

Maze Runner: The Death Cure is the final installment in the MR trilogy and, for the climactic film, was relatively anti-climactic. The actions sequences in this film were intense and well filmed, and were very engaging all round and fun to watch.

Dylan O'Brien as Thomas was yet again very good, and his friendship with Newt (played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster) was well written and its arc was very touching. However, this was probably the most engaging storyline in the film, despite the film being called 'The Death Cure'.

The story lacked depth and didn't invest me as much as the final film in a franchise should, as is the case of the other two films (especially 'The Scorch Trials'), and the set-up for the film was quite poor and it felt really rushed, which is ironic; the run-time is 2.

5 hours, another thing which maybe could've been avoided). However, it was well directed as Wes Ball succeeded in creating a sense of urgency and high-stakes, especially in the last half hour of the film.

Production was also pretty high calibre. All in all, its probably one of those films that you'll watch with friends and go 'Wow' at the action scenes and the production, but forget about it the next day.
