Matthew K Although the film left out some important aspects of the novel, including some important character development, it is a great adaptation of the novel overall. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/18/24 Full Review Ralph R Re-watching The Maze Runner was a pleasant experience, and I still enjoyed it as much as I did the first time. The film's directing stands out, with a well-paced first act that successfully introduces us to the characters, the maze, and their unsettling situation. This setup provides a strong foundation for an exciting second act and a finale that leaves the audience with lingering questions, perfectly setting the stage for the sequel. The cinematography deserves praise as well. A standout moment is the opening sequence: the close-up shots immerse us in the disoriented perspective of the protagonist, only to transition smoothly to a zoom-out that reveals the towering, closed walls of the maze. This visual storytelling continues throughout the movie, maintaining a consistent sense of scale and tension. The acting is another strong point. Most of the cast delivers solid performances, creating believable connections and helping viewers grow attached to each character. Their chemistry and emotional delivery effectively add weight to the story's stakes. While the script is generally solid, it does feature a few clichéd jokes here and there, but these moments don't detract much from the overall experience. The Maze Runner is a well-executed film that combines strong direction, engaging visuals, and compelling performances. It builds a suspenseful and immersive world while keeping the audience eager for what comes next. I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/17/24 Full Review Willian H The Maze Runner is a film adaptation that manages to capture the essence of James Dashner's work in an engaging way. The movie immerses the audience in an intriguing story, with interesting characters and a tense, almost suffocating atmosphere. Director Wes Ball builds a claustrophobic world, with the maze being more than just a simple setting – it is a character in itself, and the way it is explored makes the path even more intriguing. The action is exciting, and the idea of a bigger mystery outside keeps the plot intense and full of questions. Furthermore, the cast has good chemistry. And the film ends with a conclusion that offers few answers, increasing the anticipation for what comes next.
