The experimental old wine bottle is filled with action-adventure wine that exudes a speculative aroma

With the Stanford experiment before, you can see that this movie is also an experiment after watching it for a few minutes, so there is basically no suspense.

Several issues raised by the film are not new. 1. It is just a matter of besieging the city, whether it is free to lock up or go out. 2. To be controlled safely, or to create a world with adventure, which is better is entirely a personal choice. 3. The organization needs a leader. There must be both positive and negative parties. If not, it must be mixed with sand. 4. The free choice you think is actually arranged by tangible hands. 5. Collective success may mean personal sacrifice, but personal sacrifice may not be of much use. The answer between the small self and the big self has long been decided by the butt, but which one will be chosen depends on who can fool more.

The overall rhythm is tight, and the plot is quite catchy. It's good to have so many ideas in an action-adventure film.

But there are at least six flaws. 1. The purpose of the experiment is mentioned in the video of the big boss, but the meaning is not clear and it lacks convincing. 2. As the monitors of the experiment, Thomas and Teresa were also regarded as experimental subjects. It was not explained clearly. 3. When Teresa was put into the box, the note in her hand said she was the last one. Who wrote the note? Disguised rebels or experimenters? No matter who it is, it doesn't make sense logically. 4. In the end, I sent a woman in. I thought that these 3-year-old male hungry wolves would have a flock. It turned out that humans and animals were harmless, and there was nothing wrong with each other, so why did I send a woman in? 5. Watching the helicopter fly over the maze, I sighed why the rescuers didn't throw a rope and pull out the people inside. 6. The scene where the experimental observers were killed is too fake. The scene was smashed. Why not rescue the people trapped in the maze?

In short, don't think about it, it looks okay, and when you think about it, it's all bugs.

The Maze Runner quotes

  • Ava Paige: Hello. My name is Doctor Ava Paige. I'm Director of Operations of the World Catastrophe Killzone Department. If you're watching this, that means you've successfully completed the Maze Trials. I wish I could be there in person to congratulate you... but circumstances seem to have prevented it. I'm sure by now, you must all be very confused, angry, frightened. I can only assure you that everything that's happened to you, everything we've done to you, it was all done for a reason. You won't remember, but the sun has scorched our world. Billions of lives lost to fire, famine, suffering on a global scale. The fallout was unimaginable. What came after was worse. We called it the Flare, a deadly virus that attacks the brain. It is violent, unpredictable... incurable - or so we thought. In time, a new generation emerged that could survive the virus. Suddenly, there was a reason to hope for a cure, but finding it would not be easy. The young would have to be tested, even sacrificed, inside harsh environments, where their brain activity could be studied, all in an effort to understand what makes them different - what makes you different. You may not realize it, but you're very important. Unfortunately, your trials have only just begun. As you'll no doubt soon discover, not everyone agrees with our methods. Progress is slow, people are scared. It may be too late for us... for me... but not for you. The outside world awaits. Remember: Wicked is good.

    Ava Paige: Well... I think it's safe to say the Maze Trials were a complete success. I wasn't expecting so many survivors, but... the more the merrier. Thomas continues to surprise and impress; and, for now, they seem to have taken the bait. It's too soon to say, but... they could be the key to everything. So let's move forward. It's time now to begin... Phase Two.
