Maze Runner: The Death Cure Blu-Ray Review
If you can get past the unconvincing central premise (of an evil corporation spending what must have been billions on elaborate Maze facilities and tests for potential cure-holding youth), there’s enough to invest in and like from The Maze Runner trilogy. The trilogy began strongly, followed by a listless and disappointing sequel, before director Wes Ball helped get to the end respectably enough. It’s more noise and energy than dramatic weight, but I think that is what this film wanted to be, a showcase of likeable characters on a quest, fighting back against a corrupt and evil system. With that goal, The Death Cure works well enough.
