When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. His memory is blank. But he’s not alone. When the lift’s doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade—a large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls. Just like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened. Every night they've closed tight. And every 30 days a new boy has been delivered in the lift. Thomas was expected. But the next day, a girl is sent up—the first girl to ever arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message she delivers. Thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. If only he could unlock the dark secrets buried within his mind.

REVIEW

sebelum menonton movie ni, kebanyakkan review daripada kawan-kawan zizie menunjukkan cerita ini berbaloi untuk ditonton. kata mereka, kalau sesiapa sukakan kumpulan One Direction, they'll get the same feeling. feeling apa, zizie tak tahu sebab zizie tak minat pun group 1D. kalau suka tengok lelaki-lelaki bermuka jambu dan cute, haruslah tengok cerita ni. siapalah tak suka tengok benda-benda yang cantik. okay, zizie takkan review siapakah pelakonnya sebelum pergi tengok cerita ini.

bila cerita ini start, here's some of my reactions :

1. Thomas ( Dylan O'Brien ) - eh, mamat ni bukan yang berlakon dalam Internship ke? yang asyik dengan handphone dia.

2. Gally ( Will Poulter ) - We're The Millers! wah! kemain dah tak nerd. pandai buli orang dah.

cerita ini lebih kurang konsepnya dengan The Hunger Games, ianya mengenai survival. tapi dalam Hunger Games, mereka survive untuk menang manakala Maze Runner survive untuk keluar daripada maze. 

oleh kerana cerita ni diadaptasi daripada novel The Maze Runner oleh James Dashner dan masih terdapat lagi kesinambungan daripada novel lain, movie The Maze Runner lebih kepada perkenalan kepada watak-watak dan masalah mereka.

Overall, The Maze Runner is a so-so movie jika tiada sambungannya. antara yang tergantung, apa gunanya Teressa menjadi yang terakhir dan satu-satunya perempuan. for sure dia akan ada misi penting untuknya dilakukan dalam Maze Runner. sedangkan, sebab-sebab mereka berada di The Maze pula hanya samar-samar dan diberitahu secara general sahaja. so, hopefully ada la sambungannya.

rating : 7/10.
