The Maze Runner (2014)
Opinion of an-original-story-of "The Maze Runner"-lover
I am truly disappointed.
Beside the book, the movie is just a continuous, fast-forward dynamic escape from the maze. The story between Thomas and Teresa (especially the telepathic conversations), the friendship between Thomas and Chuck and the conflict between Thomas and Gally are not exploited even at minimum.
In other words, the movie seems like it doesn't give you time to fall in love or to truly hate some characters or couples.
Without those, you can't visualize the perspective of the author about the life in the maze. Even the exploring was made fast- forward. In the book you get a bigger picture of what the maze was, you travel with Thomas, you understand the maze..
Without those, the movie is just a typical post-apocalyptic experiment made on a selected group of people.
I am kind of scared of what the next movie brings; maybe it will destroy even more the original story...
