After several weeks, Rat Man comes in and tells Thomas that the Trials are over now, and that WICKED has all the information they need. He takes Thomas to an auditorium, where the remaining subjects of the Trials are gathered. Rat Man, who is really Assistant Director Janson of WICKED, says that they are going to give the subjects their memories back. Janson also tells them that the majority of the Trial subjects are Immune to the Flare, but that a few are not. Included amongst the control variables– those who are not immune–is Newt. Thomas, Minho, and Newt refuse to undergo the memory procedure and are led to another room for solitary confinement. WICKED intends to force the procedure upon them, but Brenda, who is Thomas’s surgery technician, helps them escape. Brenda and Jorge have also been working for WICKED the whole time, but they hate the organization. They are now actually Thomas’s friends, and not just acting the part on behalf of WICKED. Brenda takes Thomas, Minho, and Newt to go find Jorge. Jorge is a pilot, and can fly a Berg out to escape the facilities. The friends manage to escape, but not without encountering WICKED guards. WICKED has a weapon called a Launcher, which electrocutes its victims. Thomas and Brenda are shot with Launchers, but they do manage to escape on the Berg. Thomas is upset to find out that Teresa and the other subjects have also escaped on a Berg he believes that they left Thomas, Minho, and Newt behind. Jorge navigates the Berg to the city of Denver in Colorado. Denver is supposedly a safe city that guards itself against the Flare infection very well. There is also a defected WICKED doctor there, a man named Hans. Brenda believes that Hans can help them remove the chips planted in Thomas, Minho, and Newt’s brains, so that WICKED can no longer control them. When they reach the Denver airport, Newt stays behind because he is not an Immune. At the airport, a man delivers a cryptic note to Thomas. The note is from Gally, who is still alive, much to Thomas’s surprise. Gally is now working for the Right Arm, an organization opposed to WICKED. Before visiting Hans, Thomas and his friends visit Gally. Gally informs them of two key facts. First, Denver has been corrupt for a very long time and is actually heavily infested with the Flare. Second, someone has been kidnapping Immunes. After seeing Gally, Thomas and his friends visit Hans, who manages to remove their WICKED control chips. As they are waiting in a coffee shop after seeing Hans, Flare testers attack a drugged-out infected man. They also capture Thomas, who lingered for too long. Thomas’s captors are bounty hunters, who want to sell him due to his Immune status. WICKED weaponry guns down Thomas’s captors, and Janson appears on a screen, asking Thomas to come back to WICKED. He says Thomas is the Final Candidate’. WICKED is not coming down to Denver because of the crazy infection rates. Thomas’s friends find him again after this encounter with Janson. They head back to the Berg, only to find that Newt is gone he has been taken by other Cranks and is now living with them. Newt’s deterioration due to the Flare is exponential. Thomas and his friends hunt down Newt, who is living at the Crank Palace’, the place where all the infected people are quarantined. Newt, who is already partially insane, tells them to leave him alone. Broken and upset, Thomas and his friends are chased out of the quarantine by other Cranks, just barely making it on board their Berg in time. Jorge flies the Berg back to the Denver entry point, but Flare tester bounty hunters immediately capture them. When Thomas and his friends are taken captive, they find that Teresa, Aris, and other members of their original groups are also prisoners of the bounty hunters. Minho helps overpower guards who come in to give them food. The guards are working for the Right Arm, not for WICKED. Thomas and Brenda insist on talking to the higher-ups of the Right Arm, and are taken through the city to the Right Arm headquarters. There, they meet Gally and the Right Arm’s head, Vince. Vince says that they are running a lookalike operation they will pretend to sell immunes to WICKED and then infiltrate the complex. Thomas agrees to be part of this plan. He will pretend to go back as the Final Candidate’, and will plant a device that will disable WICKED weapons. As they drive back through the city to the Berg that will take Thomas to WICKED, Thomas and the Right Arm personnel encounter Cranks on the street. Thomas sees Newt and tries to save him, but Newt begs for Thomas to kill him instead. Thomas finally respects his friend’s wishes, killing him. Thomas is flown up to WICKED, and pretends to hike back into the facility. Rat Man tells Thomas that they need him to sacrifice himself for science the doctors need to read his brain and use for the cure. Thomas asks for more time, hoping the Right Arm will get here before the fatal surgery. Janson does not give Thomas much time or choice, and is putting him under anesthesia just as the Right Arm does arrive. Thomas goes unconscious from an injection, but wakes up to find a letter from Chancellor Ava Paige, who has a backup plan she asks Thomas to find all the Immunes, who are hidden in the Maze, and take a Flat Trans to a safe place. As Thomas runs out to look for his friends, he realizes that the Right Arm intends only to destroy WICKED. Explosives are going off everywhere. When Thomas finds his friends, he takes them to the Maze to help get the Immunes out and to the Flat Trans. In the process, they have to fight Grievers deployed to kill them. Many people die from explosions and falling debris. Just before Thomas and his friends enter the Flat Trans, Janson and backups arrive to stop them. Thomas and his friends fight them, and Thomas kills Janson. As they prepare to finally enter the Flat Trans, Teresa dives and saves Thomas from a falling piece of ceiling; the ceiling crushes Teresa instead, killing her. Thomas and his friends enter the Flat Trans, arriving in a lush nature hideaway. Brenda disables the Flat Trans and burns the entrance around it. The group prepares to begin life again. A final correspondence from Chancellor Ava Paige reveals that the Chancellor planned this backup plan because she was afraid that a cure would never be found. She thinks that Immunes were the real hope for humanity all along. Her email also reveals that the Flare was actually released as a form of population control by the government. Home Movies Movie Reviews Maze Runner The Death Cure Review - The Trilogy Ends With a Shrug Maze Runner The Death Cure provides a satisfactory concluding chapter to the YA dystopian trilogy, and little else beyond action spectacle. Maze Runner The Death Cure provides a satisfactory concluding chapter to the YA dystopian trilogy, and little else beyond action spectacle. When The Maze Runner first arrived in theaters in 2014, it was amid the heyday of sci-fi dystopian action films based on young adult novels. The Hunger Games had found a great deal of success with its second installment, The Hunger Games Catching Fire, and Divergent had just launched a film franchise that was expected to be the next hit. However, as The Hunger Games film series ran its course, and Divergent tanked before it could receive a final installment, The Maze Runner was originally set to debut its trilogy capper amid a dying - and incredibly narrow - genre of movies. However, as a result of an on set injury for the film's biggest star, the third and final chapter was delayed, which didn't help the movie. Maze Runner The Death Cure provides a satisfactory concluding chapter to the YA dystopian trilogy, and little else beyond action spectacle. The Death Cure picks up six months after the conclusion of Maze Runner The Scorch Trials, which left Thomas Dylan O'Brien, Newt Thomas Brodie-Sangster, and their friend from the Glade, Frypan Dexter Darden, with a group who is trying to escape the reach of WCKD by fleeing to an island paradise. While Thomas and his friends are able to free some teenagers from a WCKD transport, the one they were looking for - their fellow Glader Minho Ki Hong Lee - is still in the hands of their enemy. Splintering off from the main group led by Vince Barry Pepper, Thomas, Newt, Frypan and their allies Jorge Giancarlo Esposito and Brenda Rosa Salazar head to the Last City in order to save Minho. Once they arrive at the city, they find that WCKD has built walls to keep out those infected with the Flare virus. While wading through on the outskirts of the city filled with Cranks who haven't descended into the rage-filled madness of the virus, Thomas and his allies come across an old friend - of sorts. They're taken to Lawrence Walton Goggins, who helps Thomas sneak into the city so he and his friends can set about rescuing Minho. However, part of their plan hinges on trusting someone who betrayed the group in The Scorch Trials Teresa Kaya Scodelario. She's been working with WCKD's Ava Page Patricia Clarkson and Janson Aidan Gillen to find a cure that will save humanity from extinction via the Flare virus. Facing innumerable obstacles, it's up to Thomas and his allies to save their friends and finally escape from WCKD once and for all. The Death Cure arriving roughly two and a half years after the previous installment in The Maze Runner series does the film no favors. To their credit, director Wes Ball and screenwriter Nowlin - having worked on the entire franchise together - are able to deliver a trilogy capper that is thematically and tonally in line with the overall series. The pacing and momentum of the film also work to its benefit. The Death Cure jumps right into the action, and keeps up a breakneck pace of major plot beats interspersed with plenty of action spectacle. It's a recipe that provides an entertaining experience, but the dramatic moments depend perhaps too much on character and plot from previous films, so that they lose a great deal of punch if viewers haven't seen The Maze Runner or The Scorch Trials in some time - or at all. The story of The Death Cure, while relatively simple on paper since it's essentially a rescue mission, is overcomplicated by a number of other plot threads - most of which don't payoff. There is a half-baked uprising against WCKD that is only tangentially related to the main characters and serves little purpose other than to paint an explosive background to what's meant to be the true emotional stakes of the movie Thomas saving his friends. However, The Death Cure doesn't really dive deeper into the conflict between Thomas and WCKD. Rather, it relies heavily on context set up in previous films and little or poor worldbuilding. The motivations of Ava Paige and Janson aren't even remotely interrogated by the film or the characters - they're simply evil for survival's sake. Exploring the theme of what lengths humans will go to in order to survive, and what that means for their humanity, is common among the dystopian sci-fi genre. Unfortunately, The Death Cure only provides a surface-level examination of this theme among its main characters. Thomas epitomizes humanity in his need to save everyone from WCKD, even when it puts him in immediate danger. Meanwhile, Janson and Ava are on the opposite end of the spectrum, rationalizing that the ends justify the means, so long as the end is their survival. Teresa receives the most depth of those on the "evil" side of the narrative, and while the film attempts a redemption arc, it pays off in an exceptionally cliche way. Certainly, there may have been a thoughtful examination of humanity in The Death Cure, but it's bogged down by an overcomplicated futuristic world - one that's never clearly laid out, even after three movies - and sacrificed for action spectacle. For their parts, the young cast of The Death Cure bring as much heart to the film as is possible. O'Brien is charismatic enough as the hero-with-a-heart-of-gold, but a little flat - though that's largely because Thomas isn't given much emotional range beyond concern for his friends and anger at those who have wronged him. Brodie-Sangster gets a more dynamic arc in The Death Cure and shines brighter. Scodelario, Salazar and Lee round out the young cast well enough, getting their moments to shine. Clarkson and Esposito turn out serviceable performances as their characters, while Gillen delivers an unsurprising villain. But The Death Cure actor who is done the biggest disservice by sharing the screen with so many others is Goggins, who gives a brief but truly memorable performance as Lawrence. All told, The Death Cure provides a satisfying conclusion to The Maze Runner trilogy that will likely appease fans of the film franchise, and the book series written by James Dashner who appears with a brief cameo early on in the movie. There is a great deal of spectacle, though, that makes The Death Cure an enjoyable enough experience for fans or those with low expectations - but perhaps a bit too much handheld camerawork in certain sequences to see this film in 3D or IMAX. However, as The Death Cure effectively concludes the last film franchise that was born of the popularity of The Hunger Games, it doesn't provide any real incentive to revive the narrow genre of dystopian YA-based sci-fi that has a future as bleak as the apocalyptic landscapes they depict. Trailer Maze Runner The Death Cure is now playing in theaters nationwide. It runs 141 minutes and is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, language, and some thematic elements. Let us know what you thought of the film in the comments!
