I get that there's a sequel, but...

Rating: 5/10 (30 September 2015)

Wow, what a cheat of an ending. This film all plays up to that one final mystery and... well, I won't ruin it, but be prepared for an enormous let-down.
Some young men are trapped/placed inside a glade, surrounded by a shifting maze. The men make the glade their home and seem to be content with simple explorations into the maze, until a new arrival - more curious than the rest - sets about a change that leads them to dare to escape from their trappings.
The Maze Runner - albeit, not without some issues of logic - is a decent-enough flick, and I'm sure that teenagers will enjoy it, but the ending just hurts given the almost 2 hours that any viewer will need to invest to get there. And then there's a really stupid, unexplainable bit which anyone will half a brain can only shake their head at. Actually, I was going to rate this film as a 6, but that part was so stupid, I'll give it a 5.
Let's hope that the sequel offers up an explanation to justify two films being made... but many will probably feel too burnt by this one to bother with it.
