There’s a pleasing sort of B-movie-on-an-A+-budget simplicity to Death Cure. Read full review

William Bibbiani

It’s a shame that The Maze Runner movies are going out on their flattest note, but The Death Cure isn't completely off-key. Wes Ball has directed every entry in the franchise and he’s evolved into a very skilled action filmmaker. Complex set-pieces with an incredible number of moving parts are depicted clearly, excitingly, and with visual panache. Read full review

The script is just so-so, but Ball’s directorial eye, clear in the first “Maze Runner” film though largely AWOL in the second, saves the third and final adventure from its own bloat. Read full review

Where we hoped for a narrative rebound, we get instead another pedestrian, overlong post-apocalyptic entry that fails to capitalize on some decent character dynamics. Read full review

Ball’s command of the camera and his ability to hurtle his character through science-fiction realms has visibly grown through the three movies. For too long The Death Cure stays in one place; it’s best when on the move. And now, it’s probably time for Ball to move on, too. Read full review

Even Clarkson's work on the intriguingly ambiguous Paige is starting to wear thin this time out; the combination of flat characters, a young cast and a director whose strengths lie elsewhere means that the overall level of performance is painfully low. Read full review

What can be said about series director Wes Ball is that he has a flair for noisy gun and air battles, pyro, fights, destruction, pursuit and escape. But it signifies nothing if there is no plausible reason for pretty much anything that happens. Read full review

There was part near the beginning when I mumbled "Deus Ex Machina". My wife says "I'm not sure what that really means". I says, "It means god from the machine. As in some machine comes in and saves the day." She says, "So like that truck that just appeared out of nowhere and is literally aThere was part near the beginning when I mumbled "Deus Ex Machina". My wife says "I'm not sure what that really means". I says, "It means god from the machine. As in some machine comes in and saves the day." She says, "So like that truck that just appeared out of nowhere and is literally a machine." "Yup!". That sums up my problem with the movie. Other than, the movie is great. If you want to end a series, this is the end for it. You have people die, buildings destroyed, folks infected, mazes to run, Jesus Christ references, and final no-cliffhanger finish. The characters are also interesting in their own way as they often turn on surprising motivations. This makes the end more character driven than plot driven and I love it.

The action set pieces are rather fantastic for this kind of young-adult post-apocalyptic movie. There's none of the usual running in the woods. Instead we have stunts on trains, amazing gun fights, and some crazy work with a crane. I hope this pushes the imagination of this genre forward. All in all, the Maze Runner series is much better than films like Divergent and The 5th Wave. I'll even go so far as to say it is Hunger Games level of quality. Maybe it doesn't have the same star power but I don't think movies need it. I feel like the series as a whole would be much better received if it wasn't in such a crowded market of young adult post-apocalyptic movies.… Expand

After two films, the trilogy is complete with this film, even though I have a feeling that there would be a willingness, on the part of the production, to make a fourth film.

In any case, it was with pleasure that I decided to see this film. I still like it, but it was the film with the most flaws and weaknesses in the trilogy (or tetralogy?).

In this film, Thomas is still disappointed with Teresa and tries to overcome that. But the desire to save Minho and take revenge on WICKED is evident and leads him to take a dangerous path, which will lead him to the mouth of the wolf, to the headquarters of the organization that, in the name of good and medicine, seems to have totally lost the notion of ethics. It is a film that fits well with its predecessors and gives the trilogy a positive conclusion, if they decide to stop it here. In fact, I noticed the film does not seem to know if it is a continuation or the conclusion of a franchise. I still don't like zombies, I've never been a fan of zombies. The film has good scenes of action and suspense, the ending is really well done but, after a certain moment, drag on and lose the rhythm. I also noticed some flaws in logic and continuity, like the fact that Ava says the virus is aero-transmissible, and it just won't be said or developed later. And, for God's sake, how did so many healthy human people suddenly appear?

The cast is generally good. Dylan O'Brian is safe in his character, but there's not much more for him to show us that he hasn't shown before. Scodelario continues to shine and make an interesting character, more complex than he appears to be. Aidan Gillen was a sinister and inhuman villain. Thomas Brodie-Sangster receives additional attention and does his job in an excellent way. Ki Hong Lee disappears for much of the film, although his character is decisive in the plot. Giancarlo Esposito seems to be determined to win a Cavalry medal, because he always shows up to save his colleagues at the right moment. Rosa Salazar practically disappears from the moment the screenwriter decided that her character was not going to fit Thomas.

The film has excellent production values and there is a lot of money tied up in high quality CGI. The desert and inhospitable world seems great, and the city of WICKED is futuristic, elegant and of remarkable visual beauty. Infected human creatures, as I said, are the least positive thing and, in this film, they almost disappear from the scene. The film has excellent cinematography, is visually magnificent and makes the most of light and colors. The soundtrack also deserves mention. Composed by John Paesano, whom I did not know, it is an intense soundtrack, with an epic and deep sense.… Expand

Anyone who's familiar with the Maze Runner franchise will most likely get a kick out of this one. Anyone else though will have to wonder how much of a finale was all wasted to just pure disappointment coming from the hard work that had all the effort to become a lot better than it expectedAnyone who's familiar with the Maze Runner franchise will most likely get a kick out of this one. Anyone else though will have to wonder how much of a finale was all wasted to just pure disappointment coming from the hard work that had all the effort to become a lot better than it expected to come out as.
