Into The Maze

Rating: 4/10 (26 September 2015)

The multiple problems that plague The Maze Runner are unfortunately not counteracted by what's good with it. The overly cheesy dynamics of the films, including the dialogue, characterization and clichéd storyline, somehow make you wish it was better, but still compels you enough to want to watch it. However, the obvious use of forcefully taking the violence, language and themes down a thousand notches doesn't help, making what could be an epic sci-fi classic into an obvious money grabber for people to fall victim to.
Nothing is worse about this film than the overly clichéd nature that you must endure. It's like watching a boring, toned-down version of The Hunger Games. If this added more Battle Royal than teen spirit, this film could have really come to life more than it did.
