Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Stella Papamichael

Dylan O'Brien returns as dashing teen saviour Thomas in this second film based on the young adult book series. After leading a ragtag bunch of kids out of a giant mechanical maze, Thomas encourages them to bust out of a high-security facility and into a post-apocalypse world. Back in the director's chair, Wes Ball makes the most of a bigger canvas, filling it with ruined cities, sweeping stormy deserts and less convincingly, zombies, as the gang searches for resistance fighters who have also escaped the clutches of Patricia Clarkson's cold-blooded scientist. However, Thomas lacks the complexity he displayed in the first film, while the absence of Will Poulter among the cast is keenly felt. Still, with so many high-octane thrills, fans will be left breathless ahead of the final leg of the journey, The Death Cure.
