    Thomas arrives in the Glade, a community surrounded by stone walls with no memory of how he got there. He joins other teenage boys who are also amnesiacs living together in the Glade, where they work to survive. While the film borrows elements from other works, it tells its story in a brisk pace without unnecessary exposition or relationships. The film manages fan expectations of the book well in its adaptation, focusing on the mystery of their circumstances and building intrigue about the larger world outside the stone walls.

    THE MAZE RUNNER


    Look out, look out

    The Maze Runner has a sly


    way of seeming propulsive,
    even if not much happens.
    We enter the world of the
    film alongside a befuddled
    boy stricken with amnesia,
    placed in a world filled with
    other amnesiacs. As such, no
    The Maze Runneris not a good
    one really knows what the
    movie, but it wins points for omitting
    hell theyre doing, which is a
    much of what makes typical teen
    surprisingly
    effective
    films excruciating.
    Theres no love triangle and no
    storytelling trick. Our hero is
    lengthy flashbacks of elders barfing
    Thomas, played by the 23up loads of mythology and
    exposition. It may be sad to consider year-old Dylan OBrien. Hes
    this an accomplishment, but The

    Maze Runners spry pace is
    Mercifully
    restrained

    speculative fiction thrillers
    (Logans
    Run,Battle

    Games, for instance) are
    almost more reassuring
    than disconcerting. In fact,
    its this recurrent sense of
    familiarity rather than any
    distinct originality that

    The score is horrendous, and


    the sound design hasnt an
    ounce of subtlety. The overall
    production design including
    the opening titles looks a lot
    more like TV than a feature
    film. Were it not for the
    expansion into the larger
    world in the last few minutes,
    Id compare the movie to a
    season one episode of Star
    Trek: The Next Generation, in
