Ratings and reviews

Will this movie receive any Oscar nominations? I doubt it. It's not that kind of movie. It's a pulp sci-fi adventure with some incredibly talented cast members and an interesting concept. The writing isn't great and the plot is a bit convoluted but I couldn't help but overlook those things. This is just a fun film that did a good job of continuing the Maze Runner story in an interesting way.

I tried to watch it to the end I really did. I actually paid to watch this garbage, that is depressing. No real plot, some good artwork and CGI but not worth the cost of addition or of a rental. Cut and paste characters, script and story line. The actors, they did great work with what they were given, garbage. I hope this movie isn't going to label the actors, would be a career destroyer. Best thing any of them could do is simply remember that the check didn't bounce, forget they ever did the movie and go find a better script to redeem themselves. Cinematography that is not CGI is also very well done. So, no plot, no real story, no character, no depth of character, but great graphics and animation.

Will somebody please shoot these horrible teenage actors! It's starting to look like the future of Hollywood is bleak. 90% of the positive reviews for this movie are coming by teenagers obviously! Only teenagers like other teenagers. That's why Michael Bay is still in business.
