  Dylan O’Brien is the most underrated actor imo. He’s so good in all these movies and I think he is a big part of why they are so good

  I remember that Dylan almost died during filming the third MAZE RUNNER movie following an ATV accident and filming had to be delayed for a year. Luckily, he survived his injuries and MAZE RUNER 3 was released.

  While everyone was obsessing over The Hunger Games and Divergent, the Maze Runner franchise was my obsession! Still one of my fav franchise of all time

  Such an underrated franchise as much as the movies changed up the story this was surprisingly good. I honestly think the decision to cast all people in their 20&apos;s was a very interesting but good decision.

  Merges LORD OF THE FLIES and THE HUNGER GAMES in a way that feels fresh, fun and surprisingly dangerous.

  As much as the cliches of teen dystopia dramas are very evident in the narrative, particularly in the later films, the set pieces of these movies were really impressive. The stunt and camera work feels very handheld and improvised to match the panic and fear of the situations, added positively by some excellent vfx and lighting plus a classic horror-fantasy score.

  This movie stuck with me because of how horrific the deaths were.<br><br>Not because of the giant robot spiders, but because these kids literally don’t remember anything prior to their life in the Maze. To some, their legacy is waking up in a glade surrounded by four walls and surviving for a few months. Imagine dying knowing that you’ve only been conciously “alive” for such a short period of time.<br><br>I’d rather die with my memories, thank you.

  Of all the YA dystopia stories that came out of this era, MR has always been my favorite. In a weird way I think the story has become more relevant/terrifying in the wake of the pandemic. While the premise of the later books seemed a bit ridiculous (although entertaining) at the time they were published, after 2020 the concept of the Flare virus hits too close to home, and the idea that humanity is flawed enough to respond to such a disaster in the worst way possible doesn&apos;t seem that far-fetched. It does a surprisingly good job in the later installments of highlighting the moral/ethical grey areas of navigating survival in this kind of environment as well as pointing out the absolute depravity of how the kids were exploited in the name of science. Not to mention that it gets worse in one of the prequel books, where it&apos;s revealed that the virus was originally unleashed as a form of population control that got out of hand. Point is, the series may not be quite on the same level as more classic works in the same genre but as an intro to the tough questions dystopian lit often poses, I actually think it does a much better job than people initially gave it credit for. It&apos;s a story about how ironically human beings are sometimes at our worst when trying to do what we believe is best for the world, and how that can create unintended collateral damage. Depressing af but there&apos;s a necessity to being reminded of that every now and then

  Newt actually used to be a runner. It wasn&apos;t mentioned in the movie, but in the book its mentioned that a few months before Thomas was put into the maze Newt broke his leg inside the maze. It never healed right so he retired as a runner. You can see Newt limping after Minho and Thomas get back from the maze after he asks &apos;What happened in there&apos;.
