So a year later and we get the follow up to last years sleeper hit which was also not panned by critics...

Ok so I remember watching the first one last year and I also remember saying that it wasn't a horrible piece of cinema especially when you compare it to the other stuff in the same genre. It wasn't all about whiny teens trying to prove themselves to be special. It was basically a pretty much straight up action movie that had teenagers as the main actors and the focus. Usually that results in a so-so film but last years Maze Runner wasn't a horrible watch. So what about this new one? Well, let's begin with the story which means that FROM THIS POINT ON I WILL BE TRYING TO RECOLLECT WHAT I SAW WHICH ALSO MEANS SPOILERS!! YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN NOTICE!!

Movie Review: The Maze Runner (2014)

From IMDB:

Storyline

Thomas wakes up in an elevator, remembering nothing but his own name. He emerges into a world of about 60 teen boys who have learned to survive in a completely enclosed environment, subsisting on their own agriculture and supplies. A new boy arrives every 30 days. The original group has been in "The Glade" for two years, trying to find a way to escape through the Maze that surrounds their living space. They have begun to give up hope. Then a comatose girl arrives with a strange note, and their world begins to change. There are some great, fast-paced action scenes, particularly those involving the nightmarish Grievers who plague the boys. – Rating Unavailable as US Release Date is September 19, 2014
