'The maze runner' or Divergent meets Lord of the flies and Resident Evil

Rating: 5/10 (28 September 2014)

There's little new about 'The maze runner', and if the above summary rings a bell you get an understanding about this movie's plot.
While a decently entertaining summer movie, with plenty of eye candy and good pacing, the movie unfortunately suffers from a number of faults.
First, there's a major lack of explanations. I personally feel quite bothered when seemingly logical questions are posed or implied, but discarded right away for no obvious reason.
Second, the characters are among the most one-dimensional to grace the big screen in recent years. None are seemingly more important to the plot than others, save through chance (plot devices, if you so will).
All in all, your decent action/adventure/chosen young one movie, with all the regular flaws that come with them nowadays. 5/10
