“Just follow me and run like your life depends on it” describes the third installment and this American dystopian, science fiction, action movie. When we left off was from the second film when Teresa (Kaya Scodelario) betrays Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) the main character of the book series and the movie series. While the evil association of the book and movie series named WCKD, who are after people that are immune to a deadly disease that consumed the entire earth. WCKD took one of the injuries and Thomas best friend Minho, who is being tortured by the organization in hopes to develop a cure for the virus. While the Resistance hurting from the surprise attack and about to probably give up but it didn’t stop Thomas from saving his best friend and stop WCKD.

Fast forward to this movie plot as soon the movie starts, the audience will already get a taste for action when a train chase commence at the beginning of the movie and the reason is because Thomas and his friends who are also immune to the virus which their names are Newt (Thomas Brodie-Sangster), and Frypan (Dexter Darden) who all three decide to save Minho. While trying to get on the train to save their friend, they use doonbuggies to chase the train and went through a well-thought plan to stop and grab the cart of the train. But after the plan worked and thinking it’s the right train cart but a slight mistake they grabbed the wrong cart but in the process they saved other people but new information about Minho and other victims location might be and that place is called “ the last city” and Thomas and his friends decides to put an end to WCKD.

The director of film is Wes Ball was a good choice for these series because of his past experience in directing films, which includes the other two maze runner films, Phoenix Forgotten and A Work in Progress. I believe that he did an amazing job in this film because he used amazing special effects the people who are affected by the virus showed that they are really dead and dangerous. The city and other land features had amazing camera shots because he used a lot of point of views and wide camera shots like chase scenes, wide city shots and another great camera usage.     

There was a wide variety great actors and actresses in the movie because it has much variety of good actors and actresses like Will Poulter, Aidan Gillen, Walton Goggins, Giancarlo Giuseppe, Rosa Bianca Salazar, Kaya Rose Scodelario and another great cast that makes this a movie a must-see. The  main character of the film is Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) who plays the main character and key in the movie in these series and I also believe that Dylan O’Brien did an amazing job in the series because he developed in the film and developed into the character which means that he showed that he is the character and acts like him and he was also in a successful TV show Teen Wolf, American Assassin, Deep Water Horizon, and The Internship which all those movies were successful because of his acting in them.

Maze Runner: Death Cure is doing an incredible job in the box offices by earning a whopping 129.9 million USD and climbing and it’s heading upwards the ladder and trying to get was the other Maze Runner movies box offices earnings proximity around 300 million dollars. Because how great this movie it crash any records at the box offices because how Ball did with the last film even though Dylan was injured during the film. But the audience that saw the movie give it a 71% on rotten tomatoes saying that it is doing good because recently released and that it grabs people’s likings. But hopefully Maze Runner: Death Cure would have you running to the movies and watch the movie.
