Maze Runner: The Death Cure Review

Maze Runner: The Death Cure is a great ending to the trilogy. This movie is about Thomas and his friends who must break into WCKD to save their friends. I absolutely loved this movie from start to finish. This movie opens with a thrilling high stakes action sequence and never lets up. Director Wes Ball should be on every studio's wishlist. He can get more out of 60 million dollars than any director I've seen. The visual effects in this movie are truly stunning at times. However, the movie is filled with practical effects as well. This gives the action sequence a heightened sense of realism. The world building in this movie is also terrific. The world feels lived in by people that have been there for a long time. Dylan O'Brien, tragically, was severely injured early in shooting causing massive delay. Thankfully he made a full recovery and is in top form here. He gives a fantastic performance and does an incredible job with the action sequences as well. Thomas Brodie-Sangster gives an incredible performance. His friendship with Dylan O'Brien's character is easily the best part of the film. Kaya Scodelario gives a really good performance. Her character's arc has become more interesting as the trilogy went on. Aidan Gillen and Patricia Clarkson remain great villains for this series. Rounding out the huge cast are Rose Salazar, Giancarlo Esposito and Walton Goggins who are all fantastic in smaller roles. At 142 minutes this movie is extremely fast paced and never slows down. Overall, Maze Runner: The Death Cure is a thrilling emotional end to the trilogy.
