It is quite an automatic instinct to compare and contrast the first installment of 2014’s ‘The Maze Runner’ with the arrival of the latest entry in director Wes Ball’s distant dystopian drama ‘Maze Runner: Scorch Trials’. The original blueprint effectively captured a unique time and place of mystique and other morbid curiosities. The audience was craftily introduced to The Glade, a head-scratching venue out in the middle of nowhere while being s… read the rest.

> The adventure expands outside the maze to seek the answers.
Another teen movie in the mid series on the line of 'Divergent' and 'Hunger Games'. As an adult, I don't know what to expect from it, but entertainment was the priority. The first film was just an introduction that happened in a small and a single location like the film 'Cube'. Now it has outspread in a large extent with more new characters and takes a wider adventure in the wastela…

Let's get to the point. This is bad.
A dystopian future full of conspiracies in which we throw the typical ingredients thinking that, magically, would make a good movie: teenagers, zombies, a "Mad-Max"-like desert and a stupid story in which main characters and their enemies behave stupidly at every step.
Quite a forgettable one ...

I believe the adage is meant to go "Ask me no questions and I tell you no lies". _Scorch Trials_ however seemed to be trialling the new "I pose you 500 questions, I tell you no answers". But there's still some interesting things to find the further the movie goes on. It lacks the cohesion of the first movie, for sure, but there's more going on, so that tracks.
_Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._…

Well, if you are looking for a collection of good looking folks lurching from one perilous scenario to another - desperate to escape the clutches of the arch villain that is Aiden Gillen; then this is the film for you. If you are looking for anything remotely akin to the books that tell of the continuing adventures of "Thomas", "Newt" etc. as they attempt to defy the will of "WIKD", then get ye hence (as Shakespeare might have said) for this film… read the rest.

While The Scorch Trials carries over the strong directing, cinematography, and high production values from the first film, it falls short in key areas that made The Maze Runner so compelling.
The character growth and connections that I appreciated in the first movie felt noticeably absent here. The relationships lack depth, and new faces introduced in this installment fail to leave a lasting impression, making it harder to feel emotionally inv…
