It's the next chapter of the Maze Runner, Thomas and his fellow Gladers are brought to a high-security facility where they were fed, bathed, and given clean shirts. But alas, what they thought was their safe haven doesn't seem to be. They're up for their next challenge - searching for clues about this mysterious and powerful organization called WCKD.
Their search leads them to the Scorch. A vast space of wasteland, where buildings have collapsed and people have turned to zombie-like creatures called Cranks. Once again, these kids have to run for their lives.
This time, the story gets bigger and darker. As these teens try to escape their captors, and meet other beings out there. Director Wes Ball created an expansive world filled with adventure and danger. The chase scenes are just breath-taking !
Dylan O' Brian is more of a leader here, unlike in the first one where he was confused. The other youthful cast members - Ki Hong Lee, Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie-Sangster - showed more of their characters. It's a visually appealing and exhilarating sequel to The Maze Runner !
