Review of Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015) by Victor M — 07 Jan 2016
Like its predecessor, The Scorch Trials is visually solid with some entertaining action sequences and pacing. However, unlike The Maze Runner, Scorch Trials story and world isn't as mysterious or interesting.
The emotional moments in the script that attempt to make us pity the characters fail since we don't know much about them outside of their predicament and how they got there. Performances range from dry to good, and the runtime is noticeably overlong.
As it stands, The Scorch Trials is better than most of its Y.A. genre counterparts, but simultaneously plagued by the same issues.
