The second chapter of the epic "Maze Runner" saga. Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) and his fellow Gladers face their greatest challenge yet: searching for clues about the mysterious and powerful organization known as WCKD. Their journey takes them to the Scorch, a desolate landscape filled with unimaginable obstacles. Teaming up with resistance fighters, the Gladers take on WCKD's vastly superior forces and uncover its shocking plans for them all.

Take two. This was a fun watch — not quite as good as the first, but still enjoyable. The first movie pitted kids against robot spiders; this one pits them against zombies.
Dylan O’Brien again carries the film with his talent and intensity, and I’m still looking forward to seeing where his career goes. But he’s not the only standout; Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Newt is fantastic. I wish Newt and Thomas had more time together on-screen. You can tell there’s a real friendship and mutual respect between them, but it’s underused. Everyone else calls him Thomas, while Newt calls him Tommy — a small but fun nod to their bond.
The chase scenes bring solid suspense, even if they feel a little forced at times, and the story’s journey through the Scorch to the finale is more of a slow burn. I wish there had been less focus on the big traveling shots and more time exploring the group’s dynamic.
