The first film showed the young adults in a giant labyrinth filled with monsters. The second one brought them to a desert wasteland. This time the kids are forced to enter the Last City to save their friends. In the third and final installment of the Maze Runner series, our young heroes are faced with more challenges that will determine their fate.
The movie opens with a death-defying train sequence that is comparable to some of the biggest action movies of late. Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) and his friends are out to save Minho (Ki Hong Lee) and other kids on their way to the WCKD headquarters. Several gunshots ensued before the kids were rescued. But alas, Minho was not among them. Thomas & company regroup to plan on how to save Minho.
Dylan O'Brien, who first gained fame on MTV's TEENWOLF, continues to prove that he is leading-man material. He suffered a major accident while doing a stunt which halted production for almost a year. Too much time was focused on saving Minho but the actor wasn't given much to do but kick and run. For fans of Thomas Brodie-Sangster, something awful happened to his character Newt. I will leave it to the audience to find out when they see the movie.
The girls however, got meatier roles. Kaya Scodelario's Teresa, somehow redeemed herself on why she had to turn her back on her friends. Rosa Salazar as Brenda showed she's a bad-ass warrior especially in that bus chase scene.
This could be the biggest film in the series. With so many spectacular action pieces, and the most explosives yet. Director Wes Ball is back for the third time. Based on the best-selling YA novels by James Dashner. Distributed by 20th Century Fox. Rated PG-13.
