![]() ![]() L: What?!? Why shall we halve the "guinea pigs" we have? PM: You haven't heard the best part yet. PM: See sir? We will put only boys in the maze. And that's the only way to study these teenagers? What about their hormones? If we put them all in one place they'll populate like rabbits. We have to develop the technology first and breed them as well. So, do we have them creatures in stock? PM: No sir. And we might ignore the danger of uncontrolled spreading of the virus I guess. L: Sacrificing some of the last of survivors of humanity we study and invest lots of time in would be acceptable. ![]() Then what? PM: We will open and close the maze every day and release giant, genetically modified spider-scorpion creatures every night to kill any escapees. L: Why not study them in the lab in the first place? PM: But sir, then the maze would be unnecessary, wouldn't it? L: That's circular argumentation! *sigh* Whatever. L: Why one? PM: Because we will brainwash the rest and study them in a lab first. L: Why? Do they have some significance older people don't have? Why not 20 or 25 years old people? PM: I'll come back to you on that sir, but I feel like we should put teenagers in there. L: Then what? Who will we put in there? PM: Teenagers. PM: We will use as many survivor people as we can to get it done as quickly as possible. L: And what workforce would build it? We have enough problems with decreasing population already. L: How will that work? PM: We will plant some trees and hope it will rain enough to keep the green. L: Not underground? PM: Of course not, because we will need a lush forest inside the maze. L: *sigh* Where shall we build it? PM: In the middle of desert sir, where the working temperatures are infernal, roads and rails are blocked, and transportation costs are high. Energy needs and maintenance should be negligible. L: Reconfigure? 100ft? PM: Yes, we will build tons of moving massive stone walls, put gigantic hydraulics, motors and generators. And it will reconfigure itself periodically. What kind of a maze? PM: Enormous, at least a couple kilometers wide, with 100 ft high walls. L: But why should we severely limit our technology? Well. They can do voodoo magic I don't have to explain. Maybe we can read their brain activities with micro-transmitter implants. L: Are you kidding? Why don't we study it in a lab, where we have superior equipment? PM: Right. We will put them inside the maze and study their brain activities under certain scenarios from a distance. We need it now! It's gotten out of control. As before, edits have achieved a 12A certificate, although with its scenes of torture, biological decay, and Coma-like horror, this remains borderline fare parents contemplating taking younger children should be strongly dissuaded.**** Major spoilers of the ending and plot of the next movie as well!!! **** A meeting somewhere safe in a post-apocalypse world Leader: We need a cure for this disease. With Will Poulter out of the picture, the series (from James Dashner’s bestsellers) loses a little character, but Lili Taylor is a welcome addition to the widening roster of respected stalwarts. Aidan Gillen works his sublimely suspicious swagger as the clearly untrustworthy Janson, while Patricia Clarkson goes once again for ice queen, even in the midst of a battlefield. ![]() Everyone is after their blood, from the sinister WCKD (pronounced “wicked”, to avoid any confusion) to the marauding Cranks, the latter mutated by the flare virus, which has turned them into extras from the House of the Dead videogame. L ike the second instalment of Divergent – the cast of which you fully expect to meet coming the other way over the brow of the dystopian YA hill – Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials steps up the spectacle, replacing the enclosed mysteries of the first film with apocalyptic vistas and toppling cities through which our former Gladers must battle. ![]()
