The Maze Runner | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

As director Wes Ball builds the eeriness around the complex entrapment of a community of boys living a Lord Of The Flies type existence, he is ably aided by imaginative and well-executed production design and special effects.

Despite featuring a somewhat cliched narrative, Wes Ball's The Maze Runner delivers unusual attention to character and world development, producing unforeseen engagement and bringing new depth to a tired subgenre.

Despite its familiar tropes, the film boasts a strong cast, numerous heart-in-mouth action moments, and a truly terrifying monster... making it a solid and thoroughly enjoyable little adventure story.

It's intriguing enough that I'm now anticipating the next installment, The Scorch Trials.

It's as if you are watching a television show with a season-ending cliffhanger, but the difference is you have to wait more than a year.
