Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015)
Original Story Line Butchered so Badly the Film Lost it's Cohesion
It is as if the concern of the producers and story writers were so focused on the movie's DBOX worthiness that they forgot to include the story line.
I went to this movie with two friends that have not read the books, as I have. Both walked out of the movie confused..."Where did the virus come from?" was the first question that they asked.
The beginning of the movie should have included the reason why W.I.C.K.E.D. created the Maze, explained what the Flare is, and introduced both groups of Maze runners. Instead, the audience is lost in visual effects without knowing why the action is happening. To add insult to injury, the writers turn the virus infected people into inhuman, biologically altered zombies. The immune are now a commodity for a short term fix to the virus problem. So much has been lost by these adaptations that the result is a vague and confusing zombie flick. I almost walked out.
This was a wonderful book that should have been an incredible movie.
