Review: Maze Runner – The Scorch Trials

It was pretty exhausting as the Maze Runner in the last film. If you dont mind I think Ill just be the Desert Crawler this time, thanks very much. Photo: 20th Century Fox

You can’t trust grownups. That’s the key takeaway from these bleak, post-apocalyptic Maze Runner movies, based on the young adult fiction series by James Dashner.

And the name of that sinister agency behind the Glade, the maze and all its perils? The World In Catastrophe Killzone Experiment Department, or WICKED – the deadest giveaway in the long, oops-filled history of dead giveaways. (It’s shortened to WCKD for the movies, dropping the “In” and “Experiment”, but still pronounced that way.)
