Default The Maze Runner

Just saw The Maze Runner, based on a trilogy of books that I haven't read yet...soon enough. But back to the matter at hand.

This is an excellent movie especially if you're a fan of the dystopian type, post apocolyptic science fiction movie. It starts out with many questions and reminds you of Lord of the Flies in some ways- be patient and all will be answered. The ending leaves you with a twist and the door is open for the second movie coming out later in 2015.

I give it a 9/10- but i'm a fan of this type of stuff.

Good flick, surprisingly better than I anticipated. Could be seen as a movie for teens but not the case, have recommended to friends for a good watch.

I thought it was good - geared for teens but still enjoyable. Look forward to the sequel(s) (if they make them).

It sort of looks like Hunger Games for teen boys, but I have it on my netflix queue. Glad to hear it is a good flick.

THIS IS A MESS. the plot sets you up, and does a great job, and then answers none of the questions it poses. the acting is average as is the casting and direction.
i can't give it any more than 1 outta 10, cause the monsters which have no point in being there really are just great.

It's one of 3 books. Of course all of the questions aren't answered.

Nice! I'll wait for the sequel on DVD...unless my daughter begs to go to the theaters to see it!
