However, like the first two films, there is a serious problem in relying on Dylan O’Brien to craft sort of emotional depth into the film. All things considered, the action scenes are well done, especially as mankind’s last city becoming a war zone. In comparison, the first Hunger Games movie cost more than that.īut, this film seeming like it tried too hard has nothing to do with the budget. At $62 million, this is the most expensive film in the franchise. Especially the Maze Runner films since none of them have blockbuster movie budgets. Yes, most got critically panned, especially as they went from one sequel to the next, but they made huge amounts of money. The Maze Runnerwas one of the many franchises born after Harry Potter and Twilight made YA novels seem like the best business decision for studios. On The Fence It Tries Hard For An Epic Ending, But Kind Of Fails Anyone else sometimes wonder if Newt was queer?.Can anyone else imagine Dylan O’Brien taking over Wolverine within a few years, or is it just me?.Leaving us with a trilogy finale which tries to pull all the stops, make it seem any character can die, and bringing about the kind of action scenes which would make Michael Bay get a bit of a tingling feeling inside. Not just our hero taking a small group of 5 to rescue someone in the most technologically advanced place in the world, but the villains and those in between, willing to do anything to survive. For despite what has happened in the past, desperation shows in everyone’s actions. So, needless to say, the clock is ticking and old enemies, like Gally and Teresa, end up becoming uneasy allies. The base for all of those who remain uninfected, yet according to Ava, will be within a month or so. However, with the local leader already having 100+ kids, them losing the element of surprise, and him having a boat which will soon be able to take them far away from the craziness of the infected world, he isn’t for this craziness.Įspecially since the only option seems to be WCKD’s home base. Which, naturally, pushes Thomas to want to head plan another mission and do it fast. They do get to save more than 40 kids, but not the one they wanted. It has been months since the events of Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, and now Thomas and his allies have everything they think they need to rescue Minho.
