Here he's good at the connections with the other guys, all of whom are played well by the cast of young actors - particularly head runner Minho (Ki Hong Lee), leader Alby (Aml Ameen), second-in-command Newt ( Thomas Brodie-Sangster), and the youngest of the Gladers, chubby and charming Chuck (Blake Cooper).
O'Brien has always been a standout actor (he routinely steals the show on Teen Wolf ). Unlike Divergent and Hunger Games, which explain what happened to the post-apocalyptic society from the start, The Maze Runner is more of a pin-hole mystery - you find out little by little what's actually happening until the very end, and even then, it's just a primer for a second installment.
The story's types and tropes will seem familiar to anyone who's seen other YA-based dystopian movies: the super-precocious protagonist who can do exceptional things (in this case, accomplish in three or four days what the rest of the guys couldn't in two or three years) the sense that the adolescents are pawns of cruel, unfeeling adults the violence that leaves teens dead and the idea that no one really knows what's going on. But those who haven't read the book may be dissatisfied with the lack of fully developed characters and overly compressed pacing. ("She's the last one ever.") Realizing that their prospects of surviving without any more supplies are slim, Thomas convinces a small group to face the dangers of the Maze and look for a way out of their bizarre captivity.Īs adaptations go, this one is quite faithful to the book, which should please its loyal readers.
Thomas' arrival coincides with a series of strange occurrences, the strangest of which is the too-soon arrival of another "greenie," a girl ( Kaya Scodelario) who has a note attached to her. He learns that the Glade residents are divided into groups with specific jobs - builders, farmers, healers, and the bravest of the group, the runners who go out into the Maze hoping to map it. None of the imprisoned boys can remember anything but their names, with the newest guy being Thomas. When the doors open, he's introduced to the Glade, a mysterious all-boy commune surrounded by an even more mysterious Maze that changes every day and is home to killer mechanized bugs called "Grievers." Every month, the elevator delivers supplies and a new amnesiac resident. The action starts immediately, with an elevator taking a scared teenage guy, Thomas ( Dylan O'Brien), up into the unknown. THE MAZE RUNNER is a dystopian thriller based on James Dashner's best-selling YA book trilogy. And there are clear themes of teamwork, courage, and friendship. Main character Thomas is a strong role model, helping his friends and standing up to authority when necessary. Characters die, and the scenes in which the mechanized Grievers kill the boys are particularly disturbing.
There's more strong language ("s-t," "a-hole," "bitch") in the movie than in the book, which featured mostly made up curse words like "shuck" and "klunk." Unlike many other popular teen movies, The Maze Runner doesn't highlight a central romance (at least in this installment), but it definitely includes the same amount of intense violence - some of it teen on teen, some of it creature on teen, and much of it weapons based. The movie, like the book, is a cross between Lord of the Flies, Ender's Game, and The Hunger Games and should appeal to fans of the books and of star Dylan O'Brien ( Teen Wolf). Parents need to know that The Maze Runner is based on the first novel in James Dashner's best-selling young adult trilogy.
