The Maze Runner
The key to running a maze without getting lost is to leave a trail of Gatorade behind.
However, sports drinks are hard to come by in this sci-fi movie.
Waking in an agrestic setting surrounded by teenage boys, Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) struggles to remember who he is.
Initially bullied by the leader's (Aml Ameen) muscle (Will Poulter), Thomas aligns himself with Newt (Thomas Brodie-Sangster), second in command, and starts piecing things together.
He also begins training as a runner in hopes of entering the monolithic maze in which Thomas believes their freedom lays.
But the first female (Kaya Scodelario) introduced into their boys club could doom them all.
Conceptually dark, as well as thematically, this adaptation of the popular dystopian YA novel offers up an intriguing and perplexing premise, supplemented by strong talent and creature design.
Incidentally, at the heart of every all-male society is a mountain of unwashed underwear.
