I am here to talk about The Maze Runner 2: The Scorch Trials. It is a 2015 film directed by Wes Ball once again and it is based on the book of the same name by James Dashner.
Now, the plot: Thomas and his fellow Gladers face their greatest challenge yet: searching for clues about the mysterious and powerful organization known as W.C.K.D. Their journey takes them to the Scorch, a desolate landscape filled with unimaginable obstacles. Teaming up with resistance fighters, the Gladers take on WCKD's vastly superior forces and uncover its shocking plans for them all.
Now what I thought of The Scorch Trials: I freaking loved this movie. I think that out of all of the movies based on a young adult novel that has came out, The Maze Runner 2: Scorch Trials is one of my favorites.
Script and direction: I thought that this movie was very well-written and very awesomely executed. Wes Ball once again took on this task of make a really great sequel to the original. The first film I liked it, but there were problems that I had to which even one can't defend, but this film, not perfect, but it is a lot of fun.
Action: I thought the action was very well-handled and trust me, there is a lot of action in this film. My favorite action sequence is when they escape WCKD Headquarters and the one character says to Thomas, "Thomas, the maze is one thing, but you kids wouldn't last one day out in the Scorch." Let me talk about the Scorch. Man, this is freaking scary. The Scorch is a desolate landscape filled with unimaginable obstacles as I have said before and the way it is presented is freaking awesome.
Pacing and Music: The film's pace can be slow at times, but I don't mind the slow pace. The film is 2 hours and 11 minutes long but I enjoy it. The score by John Paesano once again is freaking epic and amazingly well-done.
Acting: The acting in this film is really well-acted. Dylan O'Brien as Thomas was good in the first film and he is even better in this film. Kaya Scodelario as Teresa did a great job too, but I don't like what happens to her. There is a moment where they kiss in the film and I'll talk more about in detail soon, but I think she did a fantastic job. Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Newt was awesome and Rosa Salazar is very amazing as Brenda. I have to give credit to the casting directors they did a great job.
Overall: This was a really good movie. Again, I will say the movie is not perfect, but I don't think it deserves some of the bullcrap and slack that people has given this film. I think it's an awesome film with a lot of great ideas in it. It's not horrible either, but the ending makes me go like, "Yes! I so can't freaking wait for the next Maze Runner movie!", which comes out in 2017 and is titled The Death Cure.
Hopefully, this series will end on a high note in 2017 when the third film is released but for now, my rating is a 10 out of 10 stars!
