Enjoyably Mysterious Action Movie

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2014)

The Maze Runner is a captivating movie centred around Thomas, a young man who awakes in a village populated entirely
by males and has forgotten who he is. He becomes fascinated by the immoral maze surrounding the village, eventually leading to him entering it against the warnings of the inhabitants of the village.
Dylan O'Brien brings the character of Thomas to life and makes him likable. The other actors played their roles well.
However, when Teresa appeared, the plot seemed to tumble downhill. Teresa does not contribute a great deal to the story. Plus considering the young men had been trapped together for years with not a single female in sight, they didn't seem to be that shocked when she showed up and I was expecting some of them to be throwing themselves on top of her. Additionally, the plot was predictable at times-everyone knew that Thomas would rebel and stride into the maze soon enough, and everyone knew that Thomas would be the one who "changes the villagers' lives forever." None-the-less, the story is interesting and the action was fast-paced as well as tense.
