The Maze Runner: Trying to Save Everyone

The Maze Runner is an action movie by Wes Ball. This movie is about a group of boys that just like Thomas ( Dylan O’Brien) were brain-washed and put in a maze experiment. Nobody could remember their past, the only thing they knew was that the maze was dangerous and they wanted to get out of that place. In addition, Thomas was the fastest runner in the group, so he was the one that had to figure out how to get out and save everyone. First, he had to put together the pieces of the clues he discovered. This action movie carries a message about a boy that cares for his family, because the boys became his family, and that he is never going to leave them. He will try to save everyone. This story shows that no matter if you do not have the same mother or the same blood, the people that care and worry about you can also be your family.

I like the story and the action of this movie because it's not like the other action movies like the Hunger Games. In the Hunger Games is more killing and the characters worry more about saving themselves, and in this movie it shows more how the boys worked with each other to survive. The action in the movie, I think is the maze, because is where all the danger occurs in the story. For me, the importance of the movie is that there is a group of boys that support each other to survive in the maze. In the movie, the scene where Thomas find a clue to get out of the maze, Thomas say to the boys “ I just…. feel that I need to save everyone. To redeem myself”. This is an example that shows that Thomas was trying to save everyone and attain liberty. Subsequently, The Maze Runner for me is one of the best well made-adventure with great energy and considerable style. I recommend this movie for everyone, specially action fans and adventure fans alike.
