Maze runner; scorch trials
This is one of my personal favourite films; the film moves fast enough to keep your attention but slow enough to make it intense. Thomas and his friends have just escaped the maze and must now survive life in the scorch, a blazing hot desert full of zombie like creatures named cranks. Life in the maze now seems easy, with grievers now in the past they are faced with new challenges, new allies and new enemies. There is also some foreshadowing in this film that left me shook as heck.
The positives of the film are that the actors are incredible, they have great range and portray emotions amazingly. The humour in this film is incredible, with the new characters bringing a new flare and element to the movie which make it much more entertaining to watch. There are all new dimensions, making it different to the books so it is entertaining for both the book readers and film watchers.
However, the community tends to find some plot holes in this movie, despite how great I believe it is. I would recommend this to everyone as any age range can enjoy it.
