Running on empty...

Rating: 1/10 (12 March 2016)

I saw this trailer and it totally turned me off from seeing it. 2 years later and now it is on Netflix so...hey why not I've already paid the monthly fee. This film is a typical teenage-hero-fantasy plot..and as with teenagers has no real logic or sense. I can go on and on about faulty plot, characters, cliché's, etc. but others have already pointed those out in previous reviews. 5 minutes into this film I thought that if this "maze" is not a mental construct and is actually a real construction, then it is stupid from the get go. In this "destroyed " earth how could anyone build such a maze, a vastly expensive...in material, time AND labor, it is simply impossible. It would be a billion dollar, 20 year endeavor in a fully functional and working society let alone a devastated planet. Every movie must have its rules, no matter how far fetched or fantasy based, this plot hole alone is clearly lazy writing. Also, this is the first film and it should, even though it is a "series", should still end on a satisfying note as the end just like any other single film regardless, but it ends on a cliffhanger which equals it being a total whore to a sequel. Even STAR WARS can be seen as a separate film without watching the rest BUT this film is a total tease to watch the next one. No thanks...rather stick a pencil in my eye.
