At the tail end of last summer, director Wes Ball dropped
yet another adaptation of yet another dystopian young adult novel into our laps
with The Maze Runner, and, much to the surprise of many, it
was a blast. Not as good as The Hunger Games movies by a
good margin, it is a damn sight better than the Divergent
films. Made on the cheap, it was also a highly profitably endeavor, and now the
sequel, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, is here in the same
slot to continue the saga of a bunch of amnesiac teenage boys.
It may not be as good, overall, as The Hunger Games, but the first installment of The Maze Runner series is entertaining, if a little light, and a damn sight
better than either of the Divergent movies. The second
chapter, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials is on its way later
this year, and they just dropped and action-heavy new trailer. I’m not going to
like, it looks a little like Terminator meets The
Goonies. Check it out below.
When it was released last summer, The Maze Runner was a surprise to many. Not only was it a hit, bigger than the
much more expensive, much crappier Divergent, but it was
actually good. (I read James Dashner’s dystopian young adult novel and remember
not enjoying it, but thinking it would make a decent movie. And then it did,
I’m like Nostradamus.) Profitable as it was, everyone wants a YA sci-fi
franchise, and as such, the sequel, The Maze Runner: The Scorch
Trials, hits later this year and just dropped a new trailer. Check it
out below.
