A respectful YA Adaptation that matches up with the Divergent and Hunger Games series

Rating: 9/10 (19 September 2014)

Me being someone that has read the series, I had high expectations for this film. I thought this film would be a big let down like the Giver, but I was proved very wrong!
The Maze runner starts off intense and will get anyone hooked in the first five minutes. The film has much mystery and suspense; that even I was curious on how it was going to go. The performances by the cast were okay. None stood out, but none were bad.
The Action/ running sequences are very intense with the help of the decent soundtrack. The Visuals were pretty good but the one thing that stood out for me in this film was the sound effects. The sounds of the Grievers were terrifying and so well made that I still think of the roars at night.
The Ending to this film will surely disappoint those that have not read the book, But I do believe they will explain everything in the sequel (That I hope comes out)The ending will be irrelevant at first, but it is explained in the possible sequel.
As a reader, I enjoyed this adaptation greatly. There are new and left out scenes from the book (None that are important. Things are changed, but as a big fan of the book I still enjoyed the changed scenes.) Go see this film. it surely has brought the box office alive, along with pleasing me with a respectful YA Adaptation from the novel. Fans of the book will like it, and want more. People that haven't read it, should be pleased well enough to go see the sequel.
