Review of Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015) by Michael1208 — 23 Sep 2015
The sequel to the sleeper hit The Maze Runner last year is following the trend of The Hunger Games series, in which it rises from the first chapter and ends at a high note as middle chapter. New writer T.
S Nowlin has changed the original source materials into a formulaic young adult action adventure with some flaws and illogical competency of the villains but the tone has overall turned into much darker, more happening compared to the first one and less focused on unnecessary romance.
The pacing of the film is slightly over rushed due to expansion of bigger field, causing a fair development of new locations and proper introduction of the new characters. However, cinematography of the film looks appealing thanks to angles of shooting, strong scores, intense action sequences, good CGIs on the Cranks, visually tremendous of the sets and firm performance from the young casts.
Though with a lot of questions left behind and predictable twisted ending, the sequel seems worth to be anticipated only if it's not separated into two parts.
