Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) and his fellow Runners return for the biggest challenge of their lives as they attempt to find their way through the mysterious Scorch, a barren landscape covered with seemingly endless obstacles and tests. As they work their way through the maze, they simultaneously try to uncover the forces behind the organisation known as WCKD. (20th Century Fox Home Entertainment)

An upward tendency. The Scorch Trials looks better and the action is first-rate. The thugs are carbon copies from those in World War Z, but for a kids’ film they are quite scary enough. Bali has the direction firmly in hand, but sometimes the story (btw extremely different from the book) sometimes trips him up. In terms of acting, still quite endearing and the hired “stars" really enjoy their supporting roles. If you stop with part three, you’ll be happy.

In terms of pure craftsmanship, it's pretty good (it has an impressive setting in a post-apocalyptic world), but my question is about the literary source: who writes these verbal diarrhea and, more importantly, who reads them? “Twilight”, “Divergence”, “Labyrinth”, “Hunger Games”, just one literary crap after another, all obviously intended for teenage readers whose mental world I don't understand and don't want to.

I was really excited about the first movie. The idea with the maze was great, the ignorance, the mystery... But now, the truth about this world is starting to come to the surface more and more, and I was getting bored with the movie and hoping it would end soon. I'm not very interested in this development anymore, and I can't imagine that the third part could save it.
