Perhaps the sequel will be better

Rating: 3/10 (21 February 2015)

Hollywood loves teenage movie franchises like "Twilight" and "Hunger Games". "The Maze Runner" is clearly intended to be a money maker with many more episodes to come. This is why audiences were basically left hanging with just the faintest clue of what might have happened before. Watching this film is not satisfying because you will have to watch the sequel to know what happens next. For the producers, that is probably the point.
As a young person's film it is not that bad but you would be better off spending your money on a picture that is not just another take on plutocratic dystopia. The characters were undemanding and for most part the actors just had to be young, pretty and full of angst. There was nothing all that interesting being portrayed other than the usual teenage fantasy about changing the world and saving everyone.
