The train stopped EXACTLY next to the hidden people. Basically, all the potential of the first movie was thrown away and destroyed in an effort to make what is basically a couple of zombie movies with shallow characters and impossible escapes/coincidences.etc. After we kill off Newt for no good reason - wasn't he immune? And, of course, Theresa needs to die too because she betrayed her friends and caused many of them to get killed or be tortured, or both. Let's just go off to live on a beach instead. WHAT? And who is their leader and why should we care about that guy and his rebellion? And how can they bring down a whole city when there is a trained equipped Army? Skyscrapers falling? Seriously? Then we find out that Thomas IS the cure (of course he is) but NO ONE WANTS TO SAVE THE WORLD except the evil people? Yeah.
Then we have Rebels taking over a walled city DESTROY the city because.you know, they don't need a place to be safe from the infected and they don't need the medical building to continue searching for a cure. But, in these movies, the kids have to be tormented and killed for their blood? Let's hear some REAL science behind that. And we have to kill them to take their blood? Basic science says you can donate weekly and even twice weekly if you are in good health and eat right.
None of this makes sense.we have to torment and torture kids (in their 20s and maybe early 30s?) so their blood is somehow "stronger"? What? That makes no sense. Now, finally we have the ending, we have "The Death Cure". Trials? What trials? ooh.it's all a trap and now we have to run through a desert and then, betrayal! Capture! Cliffhanger! (not really, it's all too predictable at this point). But then it was off to the "Scorch Trials" which, to be honest, was a snoozefest. It's called "character development"!! There was so much rich material that could have been explored. Let's learn more about Newt, Frypan, Minho, Gally and all the others. I would have LOVED a first movie dedicated to all the adventures BEFORE Thomas showed up - let's see all their adventures mapping the maze, creating a community, and organizing their social roles. Now this guy Thomas shows up and boom! with no real experience he leads them out.and blah blah blah. It was fascinating! What a concept! Why are they there? Why did they have their memory wiped? Can they solve the mystery of the maze and escape? Oh, wait. Remember the first film? Maze Runner.kids wake up with no memories in a glade surrounded by a crazy maze that changed and rearranged itself every night. My gut feeling is just that the story went in the wrong direction way back in the first film. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
