Home Movies Movie Reviews Maze Runner The Death Cure Review - The Trilogy Ends With a Shrug Maze Runner The Death Cure provides a satisfactory concluding chapter to the YA dystopian trilogy, and little else beyond action spectacle. Maze Runner The Death Cure provides a satisfactory concluding chapter to the YA dystopian trilogy, and little else beyond action spectacle. When The Maze Runner first arrived in theaters in 2014, it was amid the heyday of sci-fi dystopian action films based on young adult novels. The Hunger Games had found a great deal of success with its second installment, The Hunger Games Catching Fire, and Divergent had just launched a film franchise that was expected to be the next hit. However, as The Hunger Games film series ran its course, and Divergent tanked before it could receive a final installment, The Maze Runner was originally set to debut its trilogy capper amid a dying - and incredibly narrow - genre of movies. However, as a result of an on set injury for the film's biggest star, the third and final chapter was delayed, which didn't help the movie. Maze Runner The Death Cure provides a satisfactory concluding chapter to the YA dystopian trilogy, and little else beyond action spectacle. The Death Cure picks up six months after the conclusion of Maze Runner The Scorch Trials, which left Thomas Dylan O'Brien, Newt Thomas Brodie-Sangster, and their friend from the Glade, Frypan Dexter Darden, with a group who is trying to escape the reach of WCKD by fleeing to an island paradise. While Thomas and his friends are able to free some teenagers from a WCKD transport, the one they were looking for - their fellow Glader Minho Ki Hong Lee - is still in the hands of their enemy. Splintering off from the main group led by Vince Barry Pepper, Thomas, Newt, Frypan and their allies Jorge Giancarlo Esposito and Brenda Rosa Salazar head to the Last City in order to save Minho. Once they arrive at the city, they find that WCKD has built walls to keep out those infected with the Flare virus. While wading through on the outskirts of the city filled with Cranks who haven't descended into the rage-filled madness of the virus, Thomas and his allies come across an old friend - of sorts. They're taken to Lawrence Walton Goggins, who helps Thomas sneak into the city so he and his friends can set about rescuing Minho. However, part of their plan hinges on trusting someone who betrayed the group in The Scorch Trials Teresa Kaya Scodelario. She's been working with WCKD's Ava Page Patricia Clarkson and Janson Aidan Gillen to find a cure that will save humanity from extinction via the Flare virus. Facing innumerable obstacles, it's up to Thomas and his allies to save their friends and finally escape from WCKD once and for all. The Death Cure arriving roughly two and a half years after the previous installment in The Maze Runner series does the film no favors. To their credit, director Wes Ball and screenwriter Nowlin - having worked on the entire franchise together - are able to deliver a trilogy capper that is thematically and tonally in line with the overall series. The pacing and momentum of the film also work to its benefit. The Death Cure jumps right into the action, and keeps up a breakneck pace of major plot beats interspersed with plenty of action spectacle. It's a recipe that provides an entertaining experience, but the dramatic moments depend perhaps too much on character and plot from previous films, so that they lose a great deal of punch if viewers haven't seen The Maze Runner or The Scorch Trials in some time - or at all. The story of The Death Cure, while relatively simple on paper since it's essentially a rescue mission, is overcomplicated by a number of other plot threads - most of which don't payoff. There is a half-baked uprising against WCKD that is only tangentially related to the main characters and serves little purpose other than to paint an explosive background to what's meant to be the true emotional stakes of the movie Thomas saving his friends. However, The Death Cure doesn't really dive deeper into the conflict between Thomas and WCKD. Rather, it relies heavily on context set up in previous films and little or poor worldbuilding. The motivations of Ava Paige and Janson aren't even remotely interrogated by the film or the characters - they're simply evil for survival's sake. Exploring the theme of what lengths humans will go to in order to survive, and what that means for their humanity, is common among the dystopian sci-fi genre. Unfortunately, The Death Cure only provides a surface-level examination of this theme among its main characters. Thomas epitomizes humanity in his need to save everyone from WCKD, even when it puts him in immediate danger. Meanwhile, Janson and Ava are on the opposite end of the spectrum, rationalizing that the ends justify the means, so long as the end is their survival. Teresa receives the most depth of those on the "evil" side of the narrative, and while the film attempts a redemption arc, it pays off in an exceptionally cliche way. Certainly, there may have been a thoughtful examination of humanity in The Death Cure, but it's bogged down by an overcomplicated futuristic world - one that's never clearly laid out, even after three movies - and sacrificed for action spectacle. For their parts, the young cast of The Death Cure bring as much heart to the film as is possible. O'Brien is charismatic enough as the hero-with-a-heart-of-gold, but a little flat - though that's largely because Thomas isn't given much emotional range beyond concern for his friends and anger at those who have wronged him. Brodie-Sangster gets a more dynamic arc in The Death Cure and shines brighter. Scodelario, Salazar and Lee round out the young cast well enough, getting their moments to shine. Clarkson and Esposito turn out serviceable performances as their characters, while Gillen delivers an unsurprising villain. But The Death Cure actor who is done the biggest disservice by sharing the screen with so many others is Goggins, who gives a brief but truly memorable performance as Lawrence. All told, The Death Cure provides a satisfying conclusion to The Maze Runner trilogy that will likely appease fans of the film franchise, and the book series written by James Dashner who appears with a brief cameo early on in the movie. There is a great deal of spectacle, though, that makes The Death Cure an enjoyable enough experience for fans or those with low expectations - but perhaps a bit too much handheld camerawork in certain sequences to see this film in 3D or IMAX. However, as The Death Cure effectively concludes the last film franchise that was born of the popularity of The Hunger Games, it doesn't provide any real incentive to revive the narrow genre of dystopian YA-based sci-fi that has a future as bleak as the apocalyptic landscapes they depict. Trailer Maze Runner The Death Cure is now playing in theaters nationwide. It runs 141 minutes and is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, language, and some thematic elements. Let us know what you thought of the film in the comments! Key Release Dates
Andlike many action blockbusters, we get countless endings, until things mercifully grind to a halt, and the whole thing lands with a big thud. As I mentioned at the start, this is my first exposure to this series. And I can safely say MAZE RUNNER: THE DEATH CURE will certainly be the last. 1/2 Out of 5 Maze Runner The Death Cure Review Director Wes Ball Writers Noah Oppenheim, Grant Pierce Myers, and Nowlin Rating Pg-13 Release Date January 26, 2018 [MAJOR SPOILERS] What’s this? Maze Runner The Death Cure is apparently the last cinematic movie of a trilogy based on the novels of the same name. The journey began in The Maze Runner, continued with Maze Runner The Scorch Trials, and ends with The Death Cure. Unfortunately, The Death Cure leaves the series falling awfully flat, compared to feelings of intrigue and exuberance left after the first film. The film companies who want to invest in trilogies should just call Matt Reeves. The recent Planet of the Apes trilogy that just wrapped up may be one of the best trilogies in the last decade. But I digress, that’s neither here nor there. We are talking about this unfortunate collapse. So it’s just another bad end to a trilogy? Exactly. This movie plays out so much like a video game it is almost unbearable at times. Almost to the point where I can bring an Xbox controller to the movie theatre and pretend to play along with the actions. I could put my controller down for the intimate cut-scenes and then correctly playing through the Quick Time Events. RIP Spider-Man 3 The Game. The number of cliches in this movie are staggering. “You want us to go in the dark tunnel?” Boss fights in crumbling buildings, mind experimentation, kiss scenes in fiery collapses, fights against friends, the dead coming back to life, a big action set-piece to open the movie, the “last civilization” behind giant walls. If you take a shot for every scene/theme you have seen before in another movie, you will get absolutely inebriated before the halfway point of this 113 minute monster of a film. What’s The Death Cure about? Following the events of the last two films, Thomas, Newt, and I believe Frypan yes, that’s a character’s name are still immune to the virus. The movie begins with a train set piece that was ripped right out of Sam Mendes’ James Bond movie Skyfall, with the three listed above trying to steal a train that is carrying immune children in hopes of finding their kidnapped friend Minho. In the old “switchers” moment, they grab the wrong train, and decide to head to WCKD’s headquarters, the last city on Earth. Along the way they head through dark tunnels filled with cranks and barely escape. Just like possibly every zombie movie ever made. The group makes it to the WCKD city and run into a past foe who was thought to be dead, who is now their friend. Cue obvious surprise music. Now they make a deal with Gally’s boss to get inside of the city. They realize that they can use Teresa who betrayed them in The Scorch Trials to get inside of the main building to save Minho. What happens after that? What follows is a nearly 90-minute set-piece to set-up for an action-adventure ending. Thomas, Newt, and Gally work with Teresa to release the rest of the immune children WCKD is holding, find Minho, only to realize that Thomas’ blood is the only thing that can cure the crank virus. Yeah I know, even you saw that coming and you probably haven’t seen the movie yet. Outside of the walls, Gally’s leader uses the information supplied by Thomas and his friends to “storm the castle of the rich,” and effectively lead a revolution against WCKD. The ending scene of the revolution rushing in the walls is the best storyline in the movie. Not much time is spent on it. As Thomas and his friends try to escape, one of his friends reveals he’s been bitten shocker and must fend off the virus before he attacks Thomas, to no avail. Thomas must mercy-kill one of his closest friends. What about Teresa? Finally, Teresa contacts Thomas to let him know that his blood is the cure and he heads back to try to synthesize a cure. Cue double cross plot device as Janson is there to capture Thomas and reveals that the virus is turning him into a crank. He needs Thomas’ blood. The revolution starts destroying buildings and WCKD’s main building crumbles around them as Thomas fights to get loose and has a boss fight with Janson in the building. The movie ends with Janson dying with the, “You missed your shot kid. No I didn’t.” line and Teresa and Thomas passionately kiss on top of the building with fire burning around them and a hovercraft trying to transport them out. Not even joking. Teresa dies saving Thomas, leaving Thomas and the rest of the “safe haven” community to reflect on the friends they’ve lost. That’s it. Who’s in Maze Runner The Death Cure? Dylan O’ Brien returns as Thomas. Actually most if not all of the cast from the first two movies return for this last one. Which is a good sign. They believed in this trilogy and stuck through it to the end. I’m happy for them. It’s always a good sign whenever Giancarlo Esposito is apart of something. I just wished he had more screen time. But this trilogy is about the teenagers, and the one thing going for this trilogy is the acting of Dylan, Kayla, Dexter, and Ki Hong Lee as the main cast. Other than that, there are no outstanding actors or actresses that many would know. Recommendation? If you have movie pass, or a movie gift card, use it on this movie. This movie’s length works against it and the popcorn you buy will be gone before the good action begins. Honestly, this is a movie you wait for on DVD and add it to your collection to show off the latest 4K HDR Hi-Def, surround sound, etc. type of theatre set up in your home. The action set pieces at the end of this movie, while formulaic, are very fun to watch and view. The special effects are solid and this feels like the end of a trilogy, with a lot of action crammed into the end of the movie. Honestly, that’s the best part, because the story is so bland and formulaic that it forces to the viewer to groan audibly a couple times. This is a movie night movie with your friends at best.

Theworld is still diseased and mad. The hopelessness gets downright oppressive after a while, even as the pace quickens toward an explosive finale. What keeps this series from being more memorable is that oppressiveness. The dystopian world of Hunger Games has a rabid fan base because of the hope the memorable characters have of overcoming all
Getthis from a library! Maze runner : the death cure : official graphic novel prelude. [Eric Carrasco; James Dashner; Kendall Goode; Jackson Lanzing; Collin Kelly; Nick Robles; Valentina Pinto; Jim Campbell, (Letterer); hoopla digital.] -- They used to live and die by the Maze-a seemingly endless labyrinth of deathtraps that kept the Gladers prisoner and in fear.
TheDeath Cure is a remaining journey of the Gladers to find the deadly disease treatment to prevent individuals from suffering ''Flare''. It is full of adventure where Thomas and the "immunes" finally escape one more trial. It is not the best book of the series and not as promising as ''The Scorch Trial''.
