I just rolled my eyes… no that’s not quite right… I closed them. It turns into a zombie movie-and an especially cheesy one at that. (I’m not a follower of the book series.) Essentially, the writers got lazy and made this an escape from simply a bigger maze of sorts… with zombies. ***SPOILER*** I’ll admit I was a little curious after the ending of the first, to see where they would take the story. The special effects are okay, but it’s one of those movies where the implausible becomes a distraction. The writing, dialog and acting are… awful. Negative-I was pleasantly surprised by the first offering of MAZE RUNNER, but this one bored me to tears. My Ratings: Moral rating: Average / Moviemaking quality: 5 I definitely liked and preferred the first movie better.Īs I mentioned before in the second paragraph, I recommend parents review the movie first before letting kids see it, as it does contain gruesome images and jump scares. The violence, of course, is heavy in the movie. There is one suicide scene, I should add, but the actual death occurs offscreen. The language was present, but far and few in between. With that in mind the movie was fairly okay. Because of this, I would highly recommend parents review the movie before letting their kids see it. The movie contains horribly disfigured zombie-like people who usually pop out of the shadows, and done in such a way to produce jump scares. Neutral-I feel that in order for people to make a decision to watch this movie, they may need to be aware of something which could potentially be spoilerish, I ask that if you do not wish to read the spoilers, please skip to the third paragraph.

Violence: Heavy to extreme / Profanity: Moderate to heavy / Sex/Nudity: Mild-male showering (head and shoulders), passionate kiss, women who may be prostitutes This film served as a great sequel and good prequel to the next film “Death Cure.” I personally liked the sequel, minus the swearing and other objectionables, I mentioned above. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer, reminds us of this. In these uncertain times, we must remember where our hope lives. I counted 15+ sh**, hell (5), damn (4), SOB (2), and a several profanities, which are beyond unnecessary-Jesus (3), God (2), My G*d (1), Oh my G*d (1).Īs for a biblical perspective, there is a lot about standing up against a tyrannical establishment. However, the language is much worse in this film. Now to the objectionable content, the violence is intense, but not gratuitous. The cinematography is appealing and believable. I have not read the books, but the story is truly eye-catching and told very well, and it’s easy to follow and understand, if you watched the first film. Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) and Ki Hong Lee are stand outs in a well constructed cast. This is a tension-filled intro to the sequel. Thomas and his crew journey to find the rebellion… and answers. They escape into the Scorch, a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where a zombie-style illness is widespread, and the infected roam the land. He soon finds confirmation of a possible rebellion and decides to inform his friends, and they devise an escape. They trade stories and speak of hope of a safe haven, where those who are in charge of the bunker promise to take them, a few at a time.Īlmost immediately, Thomas has an unsettling feeling about his new surroundings. They learn that they were not in the only Maze, and there are many other similar survivors. “The Scorch Trails” starts up right where we left off it the first film “ The Maze Runner.” Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) and his fellow teammates are taken to a safe bunker where they are given shelter, food and an escape from the Maze. Sequel: “ Maze Runner: The Death Cure” (2018) Jetto Dorsainville … WCKD / Bunker Militia Lora Martinez-Cunningham … Thomas' Motherīrandon K.
