What makes the movie interesting to watch is its combination of inventive action scenes – the intensity in The Scorch Trials comes from much more than just a few fistfights. Faster than you can say, “WHY ISN’T DYLAN O’BRIEN SHIRTLESS YET,” the gang is on the run from WCKD again, searching for a rebel army known as the Right Arm, through the ruins of an old city and a desert wasteland known as the Scorch. Soon, Thomas meets Aris (Jacob Lofland) at their new home in yet another enclosed facility once more, Thomas is informed that everything is not what it seems to be. Janson (Aidan Gillen), who is placed in charge of the group rescued by a military force in a helicopter, can’t help but seem suspicious and untrustworthy. However, their battle with WCKD, a government group pushing the kids to questionable limits to cure a worldwide epidemic, is far from over. The Scorch Trials picks up right where the first movie leaves off, with Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) leading his group of Gladers to what they believe to be safety. However, when not compared to the book, The Scorch Trials hits it out of the park with its storyline and unique twists on traditional movie components. Of course, the movie loses some of the complexity of the elements in the novel itself, something common of book-to-screen adaptations. Wes Ball, director of Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, manages to hit yet another home run with his action-packed sequel to The Maze Runner, one of many dystopian young-adult book franchises to hit the screen in recent years.
