Maze Runner: The Death Cure Reviews

Even though I did see both ‘The Maze Runner’ and ‘The Scorch Trials’ in the movie theatre with my step-son when they were released, we actually skipped this movie which shows how much we cared about this franchise after all. Still, I have to admit that I was curious to see how it would all end. First of all, I want to congratulate the makers for not splitting this final instalment into 2 movies. Indeed, ever since they did it with Harry Potter, virtually all the following movie franchises adapted from YA novels did split the last book into 2 movies but, while it wasn’t such a terrible idea for Harry Potter, the end-result was quite terrible with trilogies such as ‘The Hunger Games’ or 'Divergent'. Anyway, coming back to the movie itself, if you put aside the whole mythology around this apocalyptic world, it was actually a fairly decent ‘Mission Impossible’ knock-off. Indeed, most of the movie was basically about Thomas with only a couple of his buddies going into a seemingly impregnable building to save another survivor from the Maze. Concerning the conclusion of this franchise, well, it was in this case rather disappointing though. Indeed, from the very start, everything was rather ambiguous which did work in the previous instalments but I’m afraid it all fell apart here because the plot-holes were just huge. Above all, even if the Maze was actually really interesting and by far the most intriguing aspect of this franchise, what was actually the freaking point?!? Seriously, after watching 3 f*cking movies, I’m still not sure. Sure, it was obviously some kind of experiment but for what purpose? Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, it was still a decent watch and I think it is worth a look but only if you really like the genre.
