The Maze Runner!

First, i want to thank my friend who knows herself for encouraging to start a blog. Second, this blog doesn't have a specific type of posts, i plant to write about anything that comes to mind (movie/book reviews, thoughts, ambitions, journeys) and i hope everyone likes my posts.

It is an honor to start my blog writing about such an amazing movie/novel. I have bought the novel yesterday and saw the movie the day before yesterday therefore this post is going to be a movie review with a book review that will follow soon!

The movie consisted of the most incredible actors of all time. Dylan O'Brien from Teen Wolf as Thomas, Kaya Scodelario from Skins(UK) as Teresa, Will Poulter as Gally, Thomas Sangster as Newt, Aml Ameen as Alby and Ki-Hong Lee as Minho.


It was about a boy called Thomas who wakes up in an elevator to a different place and then he meets about 60 boys who had all been through the same experience. Thomas loses his memory but remembers his name only. He meets Chuck, Newt and Minho whom he later became friends with. Thomas is a brave and courageous boy who decides that he doesn't want to live the rest of his life where he doesn't belong; he wants to go home. He then becomes a runner with Minho and they run into the maze -that is the only way out- and they try to figure the way out. Minho has been running the maze for 3 years but have never gotten through it. Thomas is the first person who had survived a night in that maze. Later on, a girl called Teresa wakes up there as well but she feels somehow connected to Thomas. Teresa and Thomas find out that they've been working with the people who kept the boys in that empty place. Thomas teams up with Minho, Newt, Chuck and a couple of other guys and with Thomas' determination they find a way out of the maze.

In conclusion, the movie was flawlessly acted and produced, the actors performances were breathtaking and the plot was perfect. I think that what the movie shows is that with perseverance everything is possible; although Thomas wasn't allowed to be in the maze because 'it's dangerous', he says, "We get out now or we die trying." and he gets out in the end.
