The Maze Runner: The Death Cure ***
The third and final instalment of the Maze runner franchise arrives seeing the final showdown in the apocalyptic new world of the survivors of the disease that has wiped out population battle the powers that be for the cure.
The film hits the ground running setting the tone for this action packed finale with a prison break train heist. It’s this action heavy hand of the film’s narrative that really helps you forget any weak areas of the script of potential plot holes by hitting you hard with action after action which is all handled and delivered very well.
The film never raises to the heights of greatness but certainly completes the franchise very well and you’ll struggle to find to may films that tie up trilogies as entertaining as the film here does. Sure there’s Return of the King, Return of the Jedi but then there’s Godfather part 3, The Dark Knight Rises, Spiderman 3, God forgive them Taken 3.
The Maze Runner has delivered a entertaining trilogy where by each sequel has gone bigger than the last and delivered a finale that will please loyal fans and newcomers as well.
The trilogy may not be Shakespearean in content but popcorn pleasing fan fare in it’s purest indulgence.
