Movie of The Week*The Maze Runner

The first Film I'm gonna write a review on is the first of the post-apocalyptic
trilogy by James Dashner, Directed by Wes Ball

THE MAZE RUNNER

The movie follows a group of boys who are trapped in a very complicated and ginormous

maze. It revolves around Thomas*hero ofkoz* who woke up in a moving elevator which

sends him to the place where the boys are gathered, The Glade. The boys were divided

according to their roles and tasks. The most outstanding is probably The Runners, who is

tasked to search and study the maze to search for an escape route during the day.

At night, the entrance towards the maze closes and the maze is roamed by dangerous creatures,

The Grievers. Whoever, got stuck and didn't manage to return to The Glade before nightfalls

are usually dead by morning killed by The Grievers. Things changed when Thomas arrived, 

joining The Runners and found a new path in the maze which eventually were their only way

out. 

When Thomas returned to inform the group, the entrance of the maze didn't close like usual, 

allowing The Grievers to enter The Glade and kills almost all of the boys*the hero survived*.

The survivors went through the maze the next morning and eventually learnt of the truth.

The truth where The World is in post-apocalyptic state and they were test subjects to ensure the survival of the human race. The film ends with the survivors managing to escape the gigantic maze.

RESPONSE

I really liked this movie because it thoroughly shows and highlights the value of friendship 

throughout the movie. The situation the boys were thrown in developed them with really 

good values. It made them more independant by themselves while also nurturing the value 

of trust between the boys. While most of the boys grew into good willed ones, there are still 

some who*accidental probably*, grew into nasty people. As example, Gally who thinks he 

had the power to decide everything only because he had stayed longer in The Glade compared

to the others. Overall, I would rate this movie 8/10. This action packed movie amazed me with 

its great acting and also not forgetting its awesome CGI(Computer Generated Images).
