The Maze Runner

Okay, so this is my first blog on here and just because it's MY post, I'll write about what I like.(yeah, I'm conceited like that). Anyway, so I went to GDC yesterday and I got a pleasant  in that I wanted to watch a movie and I had just two thousand bucks with me and a movie is one thousand, five hundred. So, I say "whatever, it's a movie, let's do this"(yeah, I'm a movie maniac). Anyhow, it turns out movies are five hundred naira on Tuesdays before noon. Imagine the grin on my face. Okay, enough rambling.
The Maze Runner is a 2014 movie based on a book of the same name by James Dashner and directed by Wes Ball
. It's about a group of boys that are put in a controlled environment, with no memory of who they were, except for their names. I say "were" because they obviously had lives before the Glade(oh yeah, that's what they call their abode). They have to grow their own food and basically, survive, which goes without saying. They stick together and watch out for each other. There's a group of them that go out each day and they're called "Runners". Did I mention the Glade's surrounded by a maze? A huge maze, too. It's up to the Runners to map out the maze and try to find a way out, if there's any. They have to contend with Grievers, though. And also have to get back to the glade before nighttime,  the walls surrounding the glade close up and then, they're at the mercy of the grievers. There's a lot of words that don't make sense initially and sound all made up, but as the movie progresses, you start to get it. That said, the movie's got lessons to teach and action. Suspense, a little bit of comedy and no nudity. So, all you pervs, this isn't for you. In all, I'd rate it 6/10.
