A tense film with surprises around every corner

Rating: 8/10 (8 October 2014)

Now although the books were very good I thought that this was a risky move making the books into movies. However on watching the movie I have been persuaded that the risk has paid off, although I am 16 and this is one of my favourite genres around.
Thomas (the main character) is found stuck in a maze with many others "gladers"(other boys that have been trapped in the maze) that have been trapped in the maze. There mission is to try and make it out of the maze with runners trying to map the maze every morning. If they get trapped at night in the maze, they get killed by the boy eating machines known as "grievers". Unfortunately I cant say much else otherwise I would be giving the plot away.
Due to reading the first book before I went to go see the film I know what the story was about, and the movie stuck to everything that was in the book, which some movies are poor at doing. And the effects of the maze and the grievers were astonishing. However the only thing that I saw wrong with the movie was the ending as they tried to add a bit of humour to the movie. Bearing in mind it is an action film, this way of trying to add humour to the movie didn't really work in my mind. Also the movie did take a little while to get into the good stuff, which just made the start a but too long winded.
In conclusion however, I would recommend the movie to anyone who has seen the hunger games or similar as the movie is similar to it but with not as much gore. However the movie was fantastic with twists and turns around every corner. Will defiantly be watching this movie again.
