      moving the maze

      This film is a mystery from the beginning. A group of people who don't know where they came from came to the maze, and they don't know what's in this maze, what to do and how to get out? Curiosity drives the large group to explore this secret together, and we can't help but be attracted as they get to know it step by step. This is not only an adventure-themed movie, but also science fiction and suspense themes. The whole movie doesn't have too many clichés, so it's more exciting. Most of the...

      Maze Runner first movie review

      I watched it for the male protagonist. The young wolf who had seen his second male character before is quite attractive. The theme of this movie is relatively novel. It is a game adaptation movie with dystopian objective actions. The plot unfolded in the face of a huge threat to life, and the ending was a bit inexplicable. It is not difficult to see that there is a next part, but the second part. . . Obviously not good. This is still a movie worth watching. At least the appearance and...

      I don't know

      After reading the first part of the moving maze, I really don't understand, and the meaning of the maze setting is also inexplicable, pretending to be profound. The whole thing looks like: Huh? I really can't appreciate it. You don't need to watch this kind of movie to know that there is a second movie. Sure enough, the ending directly predicts the next movie. It would be fine if you just made a maze, but you have to add some suspense, memory, and flashbacks to tell everyone that things are...

      moving the maze

      The first installment in Dashner's dystopian series, "Mazewalker," was produced by Fox Films in 2013. It's a standard popcorn type piece. in visual rhythm. And the plot setting is remarkable. Although there are many cliché settings, it is the first step in the Maze Runner series. This opening is done well, that is, it is independent and has enough suspense and horror. Another foreshadowing has been made, leading to the following story. The function of this huge and deep maze is mainly...

      This film can be explained by the routine of the model opera, which is three prominence, line struggle and no gender awareness. The struggle between the two lines in the Maze Runner is clear, Bully is a rightist, implements a strategy of stability over everything, do nothing and wait to die. The protagonist Thomas is a leftist who dares to fight and dare to rush, and has a tendency to smash everything. Of course, the rightists couldn't defeat the leftists, and many red soldiers followed the...

    Behind the scenes gags

    There are venomous snakes on the film set, and for this reason, no special snake catcher should be invited to remove this hazard. Until the start, the snake catcher had caught a total of 25 venomous snakes, of which the largest was a 1.3-meter-long rattlesnake.

    Negative evaluation of

    The world setting of the first two-thirds of the movie is clever and dexterous, and the environment in which the movie takes place is exciting, tortuous, mysterious and huge. However, when the questions raised by these reliable settings are finally answered, the audience can't help but feel deceived. ( Comment by "Entertainment Weekly" )

    Movie quotes

    • Thomas: We found this. It was inside a Griever.

      Newt: These are the same letters we get in our supplies.

      Thomas: Yeah. Whoever put us here obviously made the Grievers. Now, this is the first real clue, the first anything, you've found in over three years. Right, Minho?

      Minho: Right.

      Thomas: Newt, we gotta go back out there. Who knows where this might lead us.

      Gally: You see what he is trying to do, right? First he breaks our rules and then he tries to convince us to abandon them totally. The rules are the only thing that have ever held us together. Why now are we questioning that? If Alby was here, you know he'd agree with me. This shank needs to be punished.

      Newt: You're right. Thomas broke the rules. One night in the Pit and no food.

      Gally: Oh, come on, Newt. One night in the Pit? You think that's gonna stop him from going into the maze?

      Newt: No. And we can't just have non-runners running into the maze whenever they feel like it, so let's just make this official.

      Newt: [to Thomas] Starting from tomorrow, you're a Runner.

      Gally: Wow.

      Frypan: Gally...

      Gally: Nah, Fry.

      Thomas: Thanks, Newt.

    • Chuck: You saw a Griever?

      Thomas: Yeah, I saw one.

      Minho: He didn't just see it. He killed it.

    • Gally: Things are changing. There's no denying that. First Ben gets stung in broad daylight, and then Alby, and now our Greenie here has taken it upon himself to go into the maze, which is a clear violation of our rules here.

      Frypan: Yeah... but he saved Alby's life.

      Gally: Did he? For three years, we have coexisted with these things, and now you've killed one of them. Who knows what that could mean for us.

      Newt: Well, what do you suggest we do?

      Gally: He has to be punished.

      Newt: Minho. You were there with him. What do you think?

      Minho: I think in all the time we've been here, no one's ever killed a Griever before. When I turned tail and ran, this dumb shank stayed behind to help Alby. Look, I don't know if he's brave or stupid, but whatever it is, we need more of it. I say we make him a Runner.

      Frypan: A Runner? What? Minho, let's not jump the gun, here, all right? All right?

      Chuck: [trying to raise a chant] Thom-as! Thom-as! Thom-as! Thom-as...

      Gally: Look, if you want to throw the newbie a parade, that's fine. Go ahead, but if there is one thing I know about the maze, it is that you do not...
