FILM REVIEW
The Maze Runner
Before anything else, I'm confessing that I watched the film before reading the book, and am mentally slapping myself (ow). OK, now that that's over, I'll start by explaining. A boy is in a box, zooming upwards. He can't remember anything, apart from his first name, Thomas. When he reaches the top, he discovers he is in a bizarre and horrifying maze, prowled by cyborg monsters called Grievers during the night, when the maze doors close. But one day, a group sent out to search the maze is late coming back, and everyone's waiting at the doors. The doors start grinding close just as two of the searchers (known as Runners) come round the corner, one badly wounded. The uninjured Runner is slowed by the weight of the other, and Thomas knows they won't make it, so he sprints forward, as the doors slowly close... (watch the film to find out the rest!).Personally, I loved this film, and gave it a 10/10. I was annoyed by the slightly harsh punishments to keep order, but over all I found it fantastic. I can't wait for the next film!
