Rating: 7 out of 10, This brings an end
to the fairly entertaining Maze Runner series. In this final installment, the
hero – Thomas, with his few remaining friends, are trying to rescue another of
their friends from clutches of the evil corporation using him to find a cure
for the zombie virus killing off most of the human population. There are some
very credible action scenes and Dylan O'Brien carries the film effortlessly as
Thomas. You really have to question his common sense and sense of
self-preservation with some of the plot holes he confronted with but this isn’t
Shakespeare. It’s good, old fashioned popcorn sci fi which is right in my wheel
house. I continue to like everything Rosa Salazar is connected with and she
stages a very interesting escape in a bus with just the right amount of tongue
in cheek. I liked the film despite the idiotic tactics on both sides and at
least this drives a stake into the heart of yet another wannabe Hunger Games
film series.
MVP: O’Brien as the seemingly suicidal
hero Thomas
