Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials
5.5 out of 10
With all the trappings of a sequel, including more fast-paced, high-budget action sequences, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials manages to improve upon its lackluster predecessor. The Hunger Games wannabe seems to have taken a page out of 28 Days Later, pitting our one-dimensional set of protagonists against zombie-like creatures rather than the half-robot spider things found in The Maze. The result is mindlessly entertaining, even if it is painfully predictable and suffers from a frustrating refusal to kill off any of its core characters, the result of which being detrimental to the film's ability to effectively build tension.
