Parents advised reading before viewing the film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
Sex & Nudity: None
Violence & Gore: There are some scenes involving the exchange of gunfire and fighting scenes throughout as the male protagonist and his friends take on their enemies. Some of the stronger scenes include one where a character is shot after exchanging blows with another man, and blood is shown oozing out of his wound. In another scene, a character is stabbed in the torso with a dagger and dies.
Expect some violence similar to the first two movies. Some beloved characters die.
Profanity: There is some use of coarse language such as "shit", "goddamn", "bastard", and "bitch".
The main characters use their own system of swearing consisting of words such as "shuck" and "clunk".
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: None
Frightening/Intense Scenes: There are some scenes of threat, such as those depicting infected zombie-like people attacking the characters, as well as a character trying to escape from large menacing bugs chasing him through underground tunnels.
THE MAZE RUNNER: The DEATH CURE could be a bit darker than the first 2 films so expect a bit more intensity.
Story: In the epic finale to The Maze Runner Saga, Thomas leads his group of escaped Gladers on their final and most dangerous mission yet. To save their friends, they must break into the legendary last city, a WCKD controlled labyrinth that may turn out to be the deadliest maze of all. Anyone who makes it out alive will get the answers to the questions the Gladers have been asking since they first arrived in the maze. Will Thomas and the crew make it out alive? Or will Ava Paige get her way?
Likes: For trilogy movie like this it's sometimes hard to make the sequels stand out above it original, but with the Maze Runner its seem to actually up its game throughout the 3 movies. Ive watched all 3 now and with the first movie, it was surprising because at first, you kind of don't know what going as we find a group of teenagers waking up in the middle of a massive maze with no explanation.
It wasn't until later on during the film we understand what these films were going and what they were about, if you've never read the books it can be a little confusing at first, but we find out that a virus has been plaguing mankind, what left of the human race is trying to find a cure in the most inhuman way possible. Which the story leads to three films with the second film scorch earth and now this new realise and the final film of the trilogy Death Cure.
Some would say that the first two film were pretty dark which I would agree but this third instalment is a hell of lot darker, although I would expect that some parts of the story that was in the book may not be present throughout these film's you can deny that these are great films.
They may not be worthy of an Oscar, some people hate this films, but ive come to actually like them as I was too sure about the first film but the second and final films we're better in action. Especially with this third and final film, they went all out, to the point the film had hardly any time to breath. From the start to finish this film set up with an action scene that leads to an even bigger action with intense and some serious emotional moments.
I do feel that Dylan O'Brien since Teen wolf series has come along way in the film industry, which looks to be the next young action star as he seems to fit these perfect, Especially from the other co-stars like Will Poulter and the others all add their own flair to this film which is great.
There is the moment in this film that is so intense it literally has you on the edge of the seat as well as have you in tears with the emotional moments which mainly come toward the end of the third act, along with somewhat the F moments as well as a few banter jokes here and there.
Since this is the end of the series of Maze runner films I can honestly say they ended it perfectly, I honestly don't think they could've ended this film in any other way, so if you loved the first two films you're gonna love this last one. It's a film I recommend watching
Dislikes: There is a moment toward the end it did feel like a green screen effect but thankfully it was only a second so doubt anyone may have noticed it, The soldiers seriously were worst than the storm troop could hit a damn thing lol
Overall: Possibly the best Final in a film series, great action, emotional content, great story.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 8.9 out of 10 for the final story.
