The Maze Runner - 移動迷宮

The Maze Runner (移動迷宮) is an 2014 film. The movie stars Dylan O'Brien. The supporting cast include Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Will Poulter, Ki Hong Lee, and Aml Ameen. The movie is the first of a trilogy, followed by Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (移動迷宮:焦土試煉) and Maze Runner: The Death Cure (移動迷宮:死亡解藥).

Thomas wakes up being dropped off into a field with walls that prevent him from getting out. Every week, supplies are sent to keep the other kids in the yard alive. Every day, a crack in the wall opens to reveal a dangerous maze. People that are good at it go in and map out the maze. Thomas starts to find his way around the group and eventually joins the maze runner group. Slowly, Thomas begins to unfold the mysteries of the maze. Can he help the others escape the maze?

Fun movie. Suspenseful and full or surprises. The cast does a great job of selling the concept and their lifestyle. Because of that you get invested in the characters and want them to win. Recently, I watched this again in prep to watch Maze Runner: The Death Cure (移動迷宮:死亡解藥). I found that a repeat viewing didn't have the same effect as the first, the sense of surprise and wonder. I actually didn't even finish my second watch.

BUT I do remember my first watch with great fondness. You might too.
