Review of The Maze Runner (2014) by Lostsandwich — 28 Dec 2014
Great visuals, great story, great acting, nice special effects make for a very intense, entertaining flick that I would recommend to any viewer, especially those interested in survival of the fittest type flicks.
The story is extremely interesting and mysterious, having not read the book I was in the beginning of the flick extremely curious as to what was inside the maze, throughout the entire movie was guessing as to why this maze exists and why these people are in it, which I found out some of the reasons and what was going on, only to be left at a "to be continued" ending, like most first entries in novel to film adaptations.
That point aside, the entire movie was extremely tense, I was always fearing a character would die at any moment, I was extremely scared during the moments the characters encountered the main enemy in the movie.
The movie may not be as good as the novel, not going as deep into themes and topics. But I can easily forgive any film that is an adaptation from a novel for this, they are taking a novel, something that takes readers hours with many breaks in-between to finish, and cramming it into a two hour flick that anyone can come and watch all at once.
Of course the movie won't be as deep the main reason for that simply being it is a movie, not a book.
