Maze Runner – The Death Cure, the final instalment in the young adult science fiction trilogy set in a post-apocalyptic dystopian world, is generally OK. 

Having already seen the first two Maze Runner films and also finding them mainly adequate, I wanted to watch The Death Cure to finish what I’d started. I also wanted to see that the main actor, Dylan O’Brien, had truly recovered fully following the serious 2016 on-set accident.

Even though I’m not in love with this film, I don’t regret having sat through it for reasons including the fact that the acting isn’t terrible overall, I like the consistent pace, and there are a couple of in-air stunts that had my attention. Beyond that, though, I’d say that director Wes Ball’s movie is an easy distraction that doesn’t ask too much of you. In which case, perhaps hit that play button for a casual viewing.

I’m sure that big fans of the books (I’ve never read them) probably wouldn’t sit down to this movie ‘casually.’ Nevertheless, every movie has its place, anywhere from ‘this deserves my undivided attention’ to ‘I’m definitely skipping that.’ 

Happy Film Loving,
