This time the script is a hodgepodge, a little bit of "Fast and the Furious", a little bit of "Resident Evil", a little bit of "Mission Impossible", a little bit of "Operation Swordfish", and a little bit of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". The anti-totalitarian battle, but not rigidly integrated with each other, provides a variety of interesting entertainment methods. It's just that the literary drama is relatively loose, and it would be better to cut it off for 10 minutes. The mid-section and climax have some pretty good startling points, and it's not the usual zombie horror movie, but a bit of haunted house style. I am very optimistic about Wes Ball, a director born in the 1980s. If he makes horror films, he must be excellent. In this era of increasing scarcity of pure male friendship, under the setting of a script where it is easy for male characters to get together and sell corruption, "Maze Runner" is all about the brotherhood that lives and dies. The scene in which Thomas drags Newt to exhaustion has the sadness of John Woo's old movies. The doomsday battlefield is amazing, showing the fragility and collapse of the order, and the sense of despair that there is nowhere to escape in the turmoil. The hot street fighting under the bird's eye view, the overturned buildings one after another, overflowing with decadent splendor. The "antidote," written in a high-profile title, ends up constructing a false joke. Compared with the virus that turns people into zombies, the competition for power and profit and ruthless killing among people, and the resulting burning of jade and stones, are the real plagues.
