Review: The Maze Runner
Based on the bestselling young adult novel with the same title, “The Maze Runner” opens on a scene of a boy named Thomas (Dylan O’Brien, the real star of “Teen Wolf”) riding an elevator up to a mysterious place called the Glade, the center of a massive stone maze, where a group of boys live. With no memory of who he is or why he’s there, Thomas learns that the boys tried to escape many times without success, and have resorted to maintaining a community within the safety of the stone walls. The only exceptions are the so–called runners, who dash through the maze everyday to find a way out. One day, when a girl arrives in the Glade with an ominous note, things begin to change.
