The movie is about a sixteen-year-old Thomas, played by O'Brien , who wakes up in a moving elevator "the Box".
When he arrives at the top, he finds himself in a grassy wide open expanse surrounded by huge grey walls, without his memory.
Could this Be more terrifying ? oh yeah wait till you see the Maze.
or the Grievers.
The movie was released in America on the 19th of September 2014, but I was lucky enough to watch it on the 18th , oh yeah, I found a hacked version and I was so glad and since then I have seen it twice. I really love the movie, why wouldn't I ?? it is "solid, well crafted and entertaining". Everything is like I have imagined while reading the book; the glade, the maze, the Grievers, the gladers, the runners .. it is like Wess took the images from my mind and put them on the screen, such a talented director. Well, the movie is not a copy/past of the book; there are some changes and I expected that and I accepted them with an open mind . The changes made the plot looks more real and plausible, and the director added some parts which made the maze amazing like when the wall moves inside the maze
Everything in the movie is perfect but Dylan O'Brien is beyond perfection, he takes the role of Thomas to a whole new high level and I'm not exaggerating. I first knew Dylan from his role in "the first time" and I was amazed by his acting, since then I have started watching Teen wolf because he co-started the show (yeah, he is the reason why I watch the show) and I saw him grow up and mature as an actor, he went almost through all the phases of acting; he was the good, the weak, the bad, the strong, the honest , the evil , the void , the hero... and while I was reading the trilogy I pictured him in my mind as Thomas then when I heard that he was chosen for the role, I just couldn't believe it ( next time, Wess should make me the one responsible for choosing the cast)
This is my favorite scene in the book and the film
the sequel of the movie "The Scorch Trial" is being filmed these days in New-Mexico and it is going to be released next fall.
