Maze Runner: The Scorch
Trials (2015)
Directed by Wes Ball
this sequel stars Dylan O'Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Thomas
Brodie-Sangster and Giancarlo Esposito. It turns out that our heroes
have not been saved by the good guys after all and head off on the
run in a post apocalyptic landscape.
It seems that the plot
of this film differs vastly from it's source material leaving us with
a story where not much happens and smells a lot like middle entry
syndrome. The story adds some familiar genre tropes without much
character or plot advancement. There are some nice landscapes and it
does not rely as much on people being mysterious just for the sake of
it but that is about all that I found positive in the film.
2/5
