The Maze Runner
A little joke to warm up the review:
‘Just heard a commentator say a soccer team play the long
ball game, correct me if I’m wrong but that’s rugby’
This movie opens with a community of boys trapped in a maze
with little hope of escape. In the centre of the maze there is a ‘Glade’,
so at least it smells nice.
Finding their way out isn’t as easy as it would seem as this
Labyrinth contains giant Spider like creatures called ‘Grievers’. I don’t know
why they are called this, perhaps after killing one of boys they are sad about
it.
To map out the maze they send the strongest of the boys to
run through it during the day, this element of the film doesn’t last long and
was a disappointment to me as it was advertised in the film information as running
time-113 minutes.
One thing I found weird was that toward the end of the
movie, the first lady is introduced to the male community, but she doesn’t once
mention the president.
I think choosing a maze for them to be trapped in is the
best choice out of all the possible puzzles as I don’t think the movie would
have been the same if they were imprisoned in a crossword.
