Premiere Screening of The Maze Runner



This may be the season of sci-fi movies since several movies on this genre has appeared on screen for the past few months. The maze Runner (2014) is a sci-fi thriller movie created based on a fantasy trilogy novel in the same name by James Dashner.



The story unveils as Thomas, a boy in his teens waking up inside a huge maze with a group of other boys. He has no memory of the outside world or how he came to this place which they call the Glade. Later he finds out that every 30 days once the Glade receives a boy who's memory has totally wiped out. The usual happens when they receive a girl (Theresa), with a note saying this is the last one. Thomas finds that there is a connection between him and the girl, but he could not figure it out.



He started remembering the past in a scattered manner after he got stung by a mechanical creature called Grievers. There he finds that he might be their only hope of escaping from the maze and end this misery. The rest of the story revolves around him and his friends trying to escape from the place. They finally manage to escape and for their despair they find that they all had been part of an experiment.



As the movie is based on a young adult fantasy novel, their target audience also seemed more towards the teenage viewers. The cast is full of young actors and actresses. Among them is the Dylan O. Brien (Thomas) from the TV series Teen Wolf, who indeed shows some strong performance.




This futuristic teen thriller seems dragging as the viewers waiting for more and more information, most of the beginning part of the movie shows a set of incidents taking place in a large field. Nevertheless the landscape and the scenery of the countryside  is indeed remarkable.



The storyline is different from the others. In much deeper meaning it looks like the storyline is speaking of the bravery of a young boy to break free of the ordinary social systems and the oppression he receives on this battle.



I hope the teenagers will enjoy this movie, as this adventurous journey of a small group of adolescents for freedom is a very enthusiastic  one.
