Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials

Scodelario – who shot to fame as Effy Stonem in the TV series Skins – says she believes the Maze Runner franchise should not be compared to other young adult dystopian films such as The Hunger Games and Divergent.

Tim Robey from The Telegraph said the film was “no trial at all”.

3) The creators of the experiment are known to be members of an organization called WCKD, led by Patricia Clarke’s Ava Page, who the Gladers originally thought of was dead.

But, as to be expected, this group is not to be trusted and with new ally Aris (Jacob Lofland, Mud) by their side, the gang breaks free and heads out into the ruins of their former society, which has been savaged by “the scorch” and is now a sand-filled disaster zone. So as long as “Scorch Trials” make at least $40 million, it will already set records by being only the third film of September Box Office history to reach skyrocket sales.

British actress Kaya Scodelario has said making The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials is the most physically demanding work she has ever done.

There are enough stylish and well-executed stunts to rival any decent action film, and one chase through a collapsed and rickety skyscraper is particularly memorable and tense. Well worth the watch.

“An ungainly mess of a movie made out of headlong flight and too-familiar ideas, “Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials” follows on the heels of ‘The Maze Runner, ‘ repeating every flaw and failure in that first entry and adding a few of its own”, Rocchi wrote.

A new clip from the second installment in the James Dashner adapted series, “The Maze Runner” has recently been released, just ahead of its premiere this Friday.
