Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials

Unexpectedly for many, one of the hits of last year was based on the book by James Dashner, low-budget, youth, anti-utopian science fiction film "Running in the Maze." It was not a separate "combat unit" and intonation for the new movie of the saga, which, if successful, could compete at the box office so popular teenage Fantastico-adventure franchises as "The Hunger Games" and "divergents." What actually happened when costing a little over $ 30 million a film debutant Wes Ball earned in international box office ten times its own cost, in addition collected a bunch of rave reviews and a few genre awards (awards MTV). In this scenario, the continuation could not appear, and it was not long in coming. Most recently, the screens out the much-hyped sequel, wearing a very intriguing title "Trial by Fire". About him, and will be discussed in this review.



And so, the picture begins from the moment at which ended the previous film. Namely, heroes selects certain military group, which delivers them to the helicopter on which the fortified object resembling a futuristic fortress. But for too long there fellow former "gleydery" will not stay too long, as their leader, Thomas learns the terrible truth - in fact, the guys are not saved, they all thought, and ended up in the clutches of the "P. O. RO Ku! "With newfound friend, they make a risky escape, and are outside the protected walls - the middle of the sun-baked desert. Thus begins the odyssey of a distant Mountains where they believe can find refuge with a kind of "Right Hand", which resists "P. O. RO Koo. " Along the way, waiting for them is not enough trials and dangers. Chief among them - a terrible disease infected civilians, which turned into an eerie similarity of zombies ...

The scenario is quite schematic picture - making his way to the cherished goal heroes lose comrades have difficulty overcoming the crisis of interpersonal relationships, and so on. Including fleeing from ravenous zombies that swarm the underground tunnels and rooms of buildings. It is shown that the once thriving civilization, from which now remained only destroyed skyscrapers and abandoned, rusting cars. Panorama of the future is a bit like the style of "I am Legend", but instead of abundant greenery and trees, destroyed the city is buried in the sand that constantly bring blowing winds for miles around. Watch interesting, but presupposes that should or could happen with the characters in the future. In addition to the last part of the famous characters, intertwined story and new characters. So fellow heroes wormed Aris (Jacob Loflend) - the boy opened the Thomas the truth about the place where they were held, the girl Brenda (Rosa Salazar) - adoptive daughter of the leader of their captivity on the way to the mountains of groups, the same leader - Jorge (Giancarlo Esposito) as well as the head of "Right Hand" Vince - by both the unusual zamaterevshego Barry Pepper. He appeared and a personal enemy heroes - special agent Janson, played by Aidan Gillen gaining momentum. Also there was an "evil genius" - Dr. "P. O. RO Ka "Alan Paige, played by reminding later than Glenn Close Patricia Clarkson. It turned out that the "P. O. RO Ku "children need to lead the fact that they are" immune "- the ability to fight infection with the people from the blood which can be obtained healing medicine. By Thomas begins to return sporadically memory, as well as to Theresa - which is closer to the final throw an unexpected trick. But too to discuss the behavior of some of the characters does not make sense, otherwise it will be interesting to watch the movie itself. Let me just say on the purely technical properties of the tape.

Film cost twice as much as the first one, which allowed to build huge decorations collapsed skyscrapers, as well as difficult-designed interior design. It is also very ominous look episodes involving so-called "shizov", or just zombies - infected, which always appear suddenly and attack suddenly (hello such films as "Resident Evil", "Silent Hill" and has referred to me, "I - The Legend" ). Cinematography keeps suspense under the control of the director, and music scenes approach shown, whether it be an escape from the zombie shootout with soldiers' P. O. RO Ka "or extreme climbing the steep skyscraper (immediately come to mind," Transformers 3 "). As a result - quality recyclable view commercial hit. If advance not to expect nothing special, the film though not surprised, but soundly entertain its audience. The only negative, but it's not just "Running ..." and other such movie serials him: he is not self-sufficient. In that sense, if you have not seen the first picture, that what is happening in the second it would be difficult to understand. This is a purely "fenskoe" movie - designed for fans of the original book, or at least those who enjoyed last year's movie. Other well - frankly strangers to this celebration of life. And because it would not scold after painting can on it one time and not waste.
