Maze Runner: The Death Cure

THE GIST
: Thomas and his runaway friends, the Gladers, are among the last few people immune to the Flare virus that has ravaged humanity. They're hunted by WCKD, an organization that captures immune children to unscrupulously use them to create a cure for the virus. The Gladers embark on a mission to the Last City to save their friend Minho, who has fallen into the hands of WCKD.

Maze Runner: The Death Cure is the third and final chapter in the Maze Runner saga, and just like the previous ones (here, here) it's entertaining enough without leaving any real legacy behind.

The gang of actors is all back, led by Dylan O'Brien, with Ki Hong Lee, Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Dexter Darden, and Will Poulter. Giancarlo Esposito, Patricia Clarkson, Aidan Gillen, Barry Pepper, and Walton Goggins also star.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Overall, the series is certainly entertaining and intriguing. Good for fans of action and post-apocalyptic fare.

Grade: 6
