Review of The Maze Runner (2014) by Rattazustra — 04 Aug 2015
This is a movie that is so disgustingly bad, it even beats how bad the novel it is based on is. There is absolutely nothing in the whole movie that carries any weight. The actors are mediocre, the characters they play are hare-brained and everything around them makes no sense at all.
None of the characters act even remotely like a human being. They keep secrets for secrets' sake, conceal important information from each other for the hack of it and eventually the whole story is artificially revealed to be complete and utter nonsense with the sole purpose of luring more naive viewers into watching the next movie.
To make all that even worse, even the movie itself lies to the audience. Things are stated that clearly aren't true. The maze is said to be changing, yet for the most part it is not and people are mapping it.
Rules just established a moment before are broken as if they meant nothing, which is among the biggest problems of the film, because they really don't. Nothing in the movie matters, starting with the fact that the characters are barely characters at all.
All in all it is a complete waste of time.
