Review: After having watched the annoyingly open-ended The Maze Runner, a long flight was the opportunity to see what was next in the series. And it is not brilliant. The Universe is vastly expended compared to the original confined maze which should have led to a very different movie but to keep on delivering what the audience liked in the first one, our heroes always end up screaming: "RUN!!!", every 20 minutes of the movie. This is very annoying especially when it happens for no reason. Something else exasperating is that even though they meet tons of people that have lived they live in the free world, at no moment is any of them asking what the hell really happened to the planet, or at least they knowledge of it. The film-makers apparently go to great lengths so that the question is never on the table, keeping us in a constant mystery while there is no reason to, which is even more annoying than in the first movie. It would take a very long and boring flight for me to watch the third installment.
Rating: 2 /10
