Don't watch the last 5 minutes

Rating: 6/10 (1 June 2015)

I actually enjoyed this film until the very end when it was spoiled with completely unnecessary story exposition. Before that point I'd felt the cast and acting was great, the special effects were believable and there was good pace to the film.
Then they ruined it with a 'narrator' scientist woman, explaining in an unnatural scenario to another random group of scientists, that the world had been destroyed by a solar flare, that the maze was all some big test, and there would be further tests for those teenagers who'd survived the maze. As if the scientists working in the maze wouldn't already know all this stuff, and if they didn't perhaps they ought to find employment elsewhere.
This blatant attempt to hook us into watching the next film only caused me to question the ridiculousness of the final scene and consequently the whole film, like...Why would these scientists invest what must be absurd amounts of money to build an over- engineered maze only to kill off most of the teenagers they put in there? Why was the scientist woman and her team lying on the ground 'pretending' to be dead when the teenagers entered the room? How long had they been pretending? What happened if one of them needed to pop to the loo? Had they considered the possibility that one of the teenagers would prod them with one of their wooden sticks?
This bizarre scene was stitched onto the end of the film and was pointless to boot as I'd already watched the film at this point! Way to go whoever wrote this script!
