Review of The Maze Runner (2014) by Danny O — 27 Jan 2015
The Maze Runner was a very entertaining movie. It was thrilling and fun. The acting was pretty good all around, and the story was interesting, and I never found myself to be bored. It was consistently entertaining.
The premise is interesting, even if it's nothing too original. The effects are very good, and the action was well done and suspenseful. The build up is excellent, but the climax felt forced, and more concerned with setting up a sequel than delivering a fully conclusive end to the film.
The problem is, the ending doesn't really work. Some of the writing could have been improved, and there are a few plot conveniences. The Maze Runner is a good survival drama that I would watch again.
The Maze Runner gets 3/5 stars (B-).
