This movie when not compared to the book is awesome!

Rating: 7/10 (20 September 2014)

This movie when not compared to James Dashners book is wonderful. The cinematography is wonderful, the script is great, and the acting is even better. I admit I might be biased on the acting part my favorite actor stars in this movie. Here are the reasons its not good.
Alby shows Thomas around the first day. The screen writer gave Alby all of Chucks dialog from the book. Theresa doesn't go into a coma. Ben isn't in "the changing" when Thomas comes to the Glade. there is no cliff. the "keeper's meeting" isn't private. Gally doesn't get mad at the meeting and leave the Glade. In the maze Thomas has Minho's help getting Alby up on the maze wall. it rains. Theresa brings the serum with her. Thomas and Theresa don't communicate telepathically. The Griever attack is all wrong. Gally doesn't give himself to the grievers. there are numbers as a password. the scientists are dead when the "Gladers" arrive. Gally doesn't want to leave. Gally kills chuck without being controlled. the maze is not underground. For those reasons I give this a rating of seven. it follows the book but leaves out things that are important. Not all of the things I put are important to the movie. but I felt were.
