Brayden G Weakest out of the three movies Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/04/25 Full Review Emma F Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, an action-packed sequel, loses its way in the process of trying to be more exciting. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/10/25 Full Review Audience Member It’s a shame they named this movie “The Scorch Trials” when there is hardly a single similarity between the book and movie. At least name it differently if you’re going to write a completely new story, that way you don’t make a fool out of the incredible book by James Dashner. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/07/25 Full Review Giovana L É legal,mas é muito maçante de assitir,uma hora é momento de ação,adrenalina pura,depois pula pra momentos tão calmos e chatos,que chega a ser desnecessário. O desenvolvimento dos personagens é quase insistente,mas pelo menos o desenvolvimento de mundo compensa. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Blu B The story makes perfect sense and isn't hard to follow at all. In that regard it expands on the world and all just fine. The biggest problem here is there is pretty much 0.00% character expansion. As simple as Thomas hero arc was it still was something along with basic enough arcs for the other kids as a whole. This has almost none of that. there the same as when they started for the most part. Save for the girl which comes out of nowhere. The result is an adventure that feels like mindless sort of action at points throughout. It follows a logical flow but it just feels a bit much. The music and cinematography isn't bad. It's not bad direction wise but the new settings all feel like places weve seen in other films. Oblivion, Mad Max, The Hunger Games, even Fallout games. It doesn't have that same distinction the maze did. The zombies also kind of come out of nowhere and don't even feel like they fit the movie honestly. It feels like I Am Legend or dawn of the dead remake type stuff. Everything else is just alright about it. The whole zombie part with Winston and all could've been cut because that doesn't really even contribute anything to the plot. It starts out pretty good honestly in the facility with lots of action, cool ideas, and it's just well done honestly and you think it's gonna be better than the first. But it just keeps going with action and no character development of any kind. The kids all blend in terribly because of it. Than once Harriet shows up and her and Tom become the main focus it just really takes a dive. We just abandon the main group, get more zombies, and are given hardly any reason to care or like her as the new replacement. Same with Tom who basically gets no development at all. Than the kids come back and we get to the actual rebel group and the betrayal, the enzymes, and setting up for the Mockingjay style conclusion. It kind of feels like everything in the middle was just filler honestly looking back. I mean if your a die hard fan of these kind of novels/sub genre than knock yourself out here I guess. But most could skip it. It's dissappointing because the new locales, new action, ideas all should blow away the first and yet without any character expansion, not setting up new ones well, settings that don't set themselves apart enough, ideas that don't fit, and a script that's got too much action just weigh it down. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review Benjamin H While the film still looks great and has some entertaining action and decent acting, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials is a thinly plotted and generic sequel that is almost bereft of stakes alongside having poor pacing and underwhelming character development.
