Movie review - Maze Runner


MAZE RUNNER




BASIC PLOT
Thomas is deposited in a community of boys after his memory is erased. Soon learning they are all trapped in a maze.







CAST
Dylan Obrien as Thomas

FACT
The production had to hire snake wranglers to make sure the areas where they were filming were snake free. Would have made more sense not to shoot a movie in a fucking jungle but hey thats just me.

THOUGHTS AND BEST BITS
Knowing i watched it free online and never paid to see it.

Ok so having watched no trailers my mind was pretty open to the idea of this and a little intrigued. Why would you put people in a maze ? why what for what would you gain ? but hey i was thinking its maybe a sort of Hunger Games thing.

The story telling is pretty shameful its almost like watching a kiddie version of NO ESCAPE(1994). We have almost no explanation to any part of movie and the entire movie makes no sense what so ever by the end.

Actor wise yeh its a bunch teen guys and by teens i mean mid to late twenties lol. The cast is pretty much all brittish but dont worry its not ALIEN3(1992) you wont spot it or be in any way bugged by them other than the fact that they are all nobodies. Even our lead who does a passable job acting wise but he wont thrill you or make you like him or want him to succeed in any way. As for the rest of the cast well yeh background fubar actors with bit parts and no lines.

Action wise its pretty lame i had no clue it was pg while watching it other than the fact nothing happens lol.

Spoilers
Sorry this bit of future crap is getting a new one ripped into it right now.

Ok so we start with our hero randomly waking up in a lift shaft going to the surface were he then finds a group of lord of the flies type waiting for him. Now forgetting hes the typical twenty something preteending to be sixteen get its preTEENding lol. Now hes told dont go in the maze at night bla bla bla and while we get the tour an story catch up setting our tone and style its a case of whos working the lift shaft and sending up people ? is it like a future world of morlocks under ground eating us ?who built the maze ? are we on a predator world lol. Now i could ramble on more ripping this cunt a new one but id rather do some thing more exciting like clip my hairy toe nails so im off lol fuck this movie.
