The Gladers come into contact with new people along the way, including Brenda and Jorge, two early-stage Cranks who guide them through the city and out to the mountains in exchange for receiving the cure at the safe haven. Amidst all of this, Thomas must determine what happened to Teresa. The Gladers know that they must comply, or face certain death.Īs they set out to cross the Scorch, the Gladers must again face deadly traps, Cranks infected with the Flare, and Group B, the group from which Aris was taken, whose task it is to bring about their destruction. There are no rules the Gladers must simple reach the safe haven, which is one hundred miles north of their starting point. Not only is he from another Maze group, he can communicate with Thomas telepathically, like Teresa.Ī representative from WICKED finally shows up and informs the Gladers that they are about to face the Scorch Trials, and that they will have two weeks to complete the trial. When they reach Teresa’s room, they find that a boy names Aris has been sleeping there, and that he has no idea who Teresa is. Worse, the rescuers from the precious day are all dead, their bodies hanging from the ceiling. The Gladers find that the fearsome Cranks are at each of the windows, attempting to get in. Moreover, just before Thomas wakes up, Teresa tells him telepathically that something is wrong. Though she was separated from the boys the previous night, Thomas now has no telepathic connection with her. Thomas awakes to discover that Teresa is nowhere to be found. However, Thomas and the others soon find that this is not the case. Though they have their misgivings, the teenagers are told they are safe now, and will be protected. Alligiant was split into two and how well did that turn out? The only knock on this film is that one of my favorite actors, Jacob Lofland, didn't have more screen time as Aries, but aside from that this was a perfect conclusion to the film series, and a better ending than the one that was originally written for this franchise.Having been rescued from the Maze, Thomas and the others are placed in dorms for the night. Many critics complained that it was too long, but I say take a look at what they did with the last book of the Divergent series. As a whole, The Death Cure was not the best in the book series, but it was the best in the film series. He is fantastic in everything he does, but he doesn't do a whole lot! I really would like to see him do more and break out, it's a mystery to me why he doesn't. The final standout was Thomas Sangster, who I've spoke about before. As for his other half, AKA Teresa (Kaya Scodelario), she was in a completely different role than in the novel, but likewise gave a much stronger performance than she did in the other two films. I honestly didn't see him as Thomas until I watched this film, he was that good. In the first installment of Maze Runner, the film diverged and was disappointing, but the second film followed the book to a tee, and was terrific, what would happen in the third? Right off the bat, as I feared, the story is completely different and very few elements from the book are even used in the film, however, in the rarest of rare cases, the way the film makers re-wrote the story, actually improved upon it! Dylan O'Brien returns as Thomas and this is the film where his character really broke out and came to life as the hero we see in the novels. When they just take pieces and basically write their own story, it's usually an epic failure, i.e. I have found that when film makers try to stick to the original story, as they did in The Hunger Games, the films are terrific. I obviously get excited when something I've read hits the big screen, even though I know the film usually won't be as good as the book was. The Maze Runner series was one of the best book series I've read in the last few years.
