Maze Runner - Die Auserwählten in der Brandwüste

I did not read the book.

I watched the trilogy in 1 go, treating it like a 6-hour long single movie.

Watch it that way and it works :)

Watch any of the 3 episodes alone and it will not work (hence the many bad reviews here)

I am so unbelievably unhappy with this movie! The writer of the script has completely dissed the original most exciting plot from the books to some stupid ridiculous mainstream apocalyptic story.

None of this happens in the book. None of it makes sense. It's called "The Scorch Trials" as in trials from wickd. Not some stupid escape adventure! I was so excited for this movie and I'm going to be honest, I left the cinema fuming with anger. If you're going to create a movie based on a book, actually go by the book plot. Don't make you're own and expect everyone to be happy with it. I'm sure the writer of the movies just ticked off an entire fandom.

What's really going one? The first movie of the series was awesome but this one is awful. If I just watched it as zombie movie then it's okay but it isn't a zombie movie. Where is maze? If the director hadn't any story, he should have finished it. Why so dragging?

Here he drags zombie, next time is he gonna drag Corona?

I had a feeling after watching the first movie and noticing the parts that were incorrect or never happened in the book, but I still had some hope that maybe, just maybe this movie would be watchable. I was wrong. First of all, Mr. Wes Ball, do me a favor and never produce another movie again, and if you so feel inclined to embaress yourself again, maybe actually read the book before making a movie about it. The movie was so far from what actually happened its disgraceful. One of the biggest concepts of the plot of the book was the actual "Scorch Trials," which was never even explained or touched in the movie, it was just teenagers and a middle aged man running in a post apoctlyptic town with zombies looking for "The Right Hand" which doesn't even exist in the book. There was no plot and a bunch of characters and scenarios were added for no reason. The book has 360 pages of pure gold and the director just went completely rogue and made up his own concept. quite honestly, the director could have did that exact same movie and just gave it a differt title and changed the characters names and no one would even make the connection that it was even The Maze Runner series, thats how completely far off it was. and yes, I could not even finish the movie. I was that furious ans disgusted with whatever it was Wes Ball did. Do not bother watching if you enjoyed the book.

This film tells the story of a group of young people in a facility where they are told that they are safe. However, they find out it is not the case. After they escape from the facility, they struggle for survival from their captors in a world full of zombies.

I liked the first "Maze Runner" because there is much excitement and mystery. In "Maze Runner The Scorch Trials", there is excitement but little mystery. We get to know everything twenty minutes into the film, so there is little mystery to engage the viewers. The introduction of zombies is a bit strange, and I find myself wishing that this installment has mazes and contraptions like the first "Maze Runner". That being said, the film is still entertaining and exciting, it is just not what I expected it to be.
