Get out of the labyrinth and into a more sinister world

As Tomas was awakened from his dream, the group was taken by helicopter to the fortress on the edge of the desert, but what greeted them was not a new life, but militarized management and control. Although there were hot baths and food, It's more like being in jail, people are called away every day, and it is said that they have lost the farm and started a better life.

But a melancholy boy named Aris didn't think so. He was the first to come to this fort and is still there, which shows that his use value is not great, and it also gave him the opportunity to explore the ventilation pipes, and then he found some strange things, and found Tomas,.......

There are quite a lot of flaws and deficiencies in the plot of the movie, such as why did Aris find Tomas instead of others, or has he been waiting for Tomas? After discovering the abnormality, the two planned how to enter the laboratory. The result was that they stole the guard's card. Not to mention that various access controls have different levels of authority. Could it be that the guard lost the card and didn't find it until the night?

The movie entered the climax without too much foreshadowing. After the group escaped from the fortress, they started a new journey. The real world outside is no less dangerous than the maze. buddy.

Young people have not experienced the experience of human nature. They have been plotted and deceived along the way. There are temporary residence points attached to WCKD, there are resistance troops who resist WCKD, and there are parties who are drunk and dream of death. Of course, Tomas can always save this time. Had a real trial because someone would always come to their rescue, and the script was pretty mediocre.

The foreshadowing of the ending was buried long ago. When Tomas took Teresa to escape from the fortress, the girl's eyes were wrong. Of course, WCKD has a lot of credit. Memories are a thing that can be deceived, whether it is self-deception or memory cleansing.

A few people can run very well. They can run for a whole day without eating or drinking. It seems that the training in the maze is still very good.

So back to the topic: what is the meaning of the existence of the maze? Simulate Darwin's theory of evolution? The strong survived to become a test product? Or does the test subject have to have a strong physique? The antidote for the virus has already appeared in the first episode, and the second episode is still working on the antidote, so I don't understand it.

In this episode, the form of the test item is given, which is a bit scary, and some substances are extracted from the brain, human medicine jars.

So Tomas wants to run, no one wants to be a white rat, even to save people.

What is the significance of Jorge and Blenda's appearance? Take them to the resistance army, but the resistance army does not have many scenes, and when a traitor comes out, it is destroyed at night. Or to introduce a new character, the second female lead? Because the female lead is really not good enough, I added a little ambiguous scene between Blenda and Tomas. I don't know if the crew felt that there were too many hormones in the movie.

Teresa will never be as realized in the movie. Her story is just beginning. Like Tomas, she has a story. There are too many foreshadowings and metaphors in this episode, and there are many new characters. These clues/characters and plots can be handled well in the episode, and must not be rushed or die inexplicably.

Newt's role is too small. This young man is quite outstanding in the first episode. I don't know what happened in this episode. Is it to pave the way for the death of the next episode? It's very sad, isn't it, the movie didn't come out, everyone knew he was going to die, and the scene was cut off.

Minho has more scenes, but his performance is not attractive, I don't know if it is because of Ang Lee's son. Being snatched by WCKD at the end is also a foreshadowing, suggesting that he will have a more important role in the third episode.

Tucao, the security facilities of the fort are too simple, allowing a few young people to escape safely without any plan and premeditated, too much like another trap.

There was a female doctor May in the rebel army who knew Tomas and said that she got a lot of news from him, but unfortunately she stopped abruptly in order to save Blenda, which made people think, Mary is also a WCKD person, why did she escape? Why join the rebels? What is the relationship between her and Tomas, and what news has she received? Turns out she died, and the writers were pretty fucked up, which can only be taken from Tomas's memory, but apparently he doesn't, unless WCKD can restore his memory, as it did with Terasa.

Tomas says he's tired of running for his life and is ready to fight back, obviously he has a plan, otherwise it won't be that look at the end unless the writers get winded again.

Tips:
1. People infected by the virus are quite scary. They will not die, but become zombies. This setting is quite bad. Movies such as "Resident Evil" have already given too many cases, so it is obviously not well thought out here.
2. The scene with Blenda in the underground pipeline is very scary, and the virus's control over people has reached a state of symbiosis.
3. Since Cranks are not afraid of the sun, why don't they show up during the day to find food? And they are so close to Marcus?
4. If there are only so many people in the resistance army, they can't fight against WCKD at all, either they have other people, or WCKD keeps them on purpose.
5. A black girl with a lot of braids who appeared later in the movie is very beautiful. She is prettier than Terasa and Blenda. Unfortunately, she is only a supporting role, and she survived. I hope there will be more scenes in the next episode.
6. White people are the protagonists, and ethnic minorities stand aside.
