THE MAZE RUNNER: DEATH CURE (2018)
Featuring: Dylan O'Brien; Kaya Scodelario; Thomas Brodie-Sangster
Director: Wes Ball
In order to refresh your memory of what happened in the previous two movies, you can check out my posts of July 4th 2015 and April 5th 2016.
In the third and final episode of this particular trilogy of films, the story picks up where Thomas (Dylan O'Brien), Newt (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) and a group of their friends rescue some of their fellow Gladers, who got captured, from a prison train. But once they reach the safety of their temporary hide-out, they realize that Minho (Ki Hong Lee) - one of the original group who escaped the maze - is not among the kids they freed. It is then that they learn about the existence of the Last City, stronghold of the WCKD organization. And their only hope to rescue their lost friend is to go there and somehow infiltrate the city.
Again there is a lot of action in the form of running, fighting and ducking from bullets and explosions. The young cast still acquit themselves excellently of their task. And even though a few key characters bite the dust along the way, overall, it is still a fitting and satisfying conclusion to what was otherwise a true roller-coaster ride for cast and audience alike.
I give it 3 out of 5 stars.
