37' 54''

Rating: Null/10 (8 February 2015)

Warning: spoilers
I'm not usually the one to write reviews but I'll make an exception for this; it's also the first time ever I'm rating a movie 1/10.
I made it 37 minutes and 54 seconds into the movie before I got so angry I turned off this garbage and went on a 5-minute rant because I felt treated like an absolute idiot the past 37 minutes and this is why:
I've been thinking one word as soon as I saw the walls: 'ladder'. The kids clearly know the concept as I've seen a couple throughout the camp. Thomas even hints at building one but that idea gets shot down by another more senior kid who's name I already have forgotten: '[...] besides, what's the point, what would you do when you get up?'. Are you kidding me? That's the point of beating any maze: you get on top, you get overview, you run to the exit. Everyone know this.
So as I progressed into my 37 minute 54 seconds journey, I got more and more angry as it got very clear to me the script wasn't about to explain why those kids don't spend every last resource they've got available to build something to get on top of the maze but instead organize themselves into a society; even hinting at some kind of war in the past or something. So I'm supposed to believe in the (minimum) 3 years those kids been there they've 'tried everything' to get out, but haven't tried getting on top of the maze? And when the subject finally comes up, I get mocked for asking the very question the main character is asking (why not try to get on top? -what's the point?).
So when Thomas goes into the maze with Asian dude and it gets dark and they've got unconscious Leader Figure with them and they need to store him for the night then suddenly they've got some rope available and hoist him up. But then Asian dude runs off because he's so scared by a charging monster and Thomas hides under some plants and spider monster doesn't detect him and he goes out of hiding and ... wait, WHAT?!
So the entire 37 minutes and 54 seconds I'm being the told the maze is super dangerous, no one has ever survived the night in it and super scary monsters kill you. But then Leader Figure is merely hoist up a couple meters: super scary monster doesn't detect him, Thomas is hidden under some plants: super scary monster doesn't detect him. Fine. So I'm still thinking 'ladder' at that point, but also: 'fine, just stay there until morning' but then he comes out of hiding and I stopped the movie, I couldn't take it any more. Thirty-seven minutes fifty-four seconds. If I had seen this in the theater, I'd have walked out on it while screaming 'LADDER'.
When a plot hole gets so incredibly big it defies the very premise of the movie, the script should be re-written.
I don't want to be treated an idiot when watching a movie.
