![]() ![]() He offers the group a chance to help them. Gally apologizes for what he did as he had been infected at the time. Thomas punches him in the face as payback for Gally killing Chuck. The man reveals himself to be Gally (Will Poulter), previously thought to have been dead. After being brought to a safe spot, Jorge starts beating one of the masked men. Thomas and his friends run from the chaos and are taken by masked men. Within moments, guards start to fire upon the protesters using enormous blasters. The group arrives outside the city to see a crowd of infected protesters gathered by the wall. Despite their hesitation, Teresa steps in and gives good reasoning for going ahead with the trials. Ava requests that they allow her and the scientists to begin performing trials. Ava and Teresa meet with WCKD board members to discuss the matter of the wall and their progress in creating a serum for the virus. They proceed toward the Last City until they notice it is guarded by a massive wall to keep the infected out. An even larger number of Cranks approach before the guys are saved by Jorge and Brenda. ![]() Their car flips over and nearly traps them, but Frypan emerges with a rifle to start shooting at the Cranks before they can attack. Meanwhile, Thomas, Newt, and Frypan drive through a tunnel past an infection checkpoint where they encounter Cranks. Overseeing all of this is Ava (Patricia Clarkson) and Teresa (Kaya Scodelario), the latter who feels remorse for betraying Thomas and the others at the end of the previous film. Minho is cornered by the Griever in the simulation while WCKD scientists are extracting his blood for finding a cure for the Flare virus. He runs through it and finds himself being chased by a Griever. When they bring him back to WCKD headquarters, Minho is put in a virtual reality simulation where he finds himself in the same maze he started in. Janson (Aiden Gillen) finds Minho at the train site. Newt and Frypan opt to go with Thomas to go find him, even though Vince and Jorge want everyone to stay together. Upon arriving at the hideout, Thomas discovers that Minho isn't with the ones they rescued as he had believed. Fortunately, Newt (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) and some members of The Right Hand were hiding nearby, and they hijack a WCKD jet and manage to carry the cart off the train and back to their hideout. When the villains realize what happened, they try to run back to kill the Gladers. Thomas and Vince hop on and separate the cart with the captives away from the main train. Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) and Vince (Barry Pepper) attempt to board the train while Jorge (Giancarlo Esposito) and Brenda (Rosa Salazar) fend off WCKD mercenaries. Not completely sure how to rate this, but still a good book-just not my favorite in the series.This third 'Maze Runner' film opens some time after the 'Scorch Trials' film with the Gladers chasing after a WCKD train to rescue Minho (Ki Hong Lee) and other captured children. Other than that, I will always consider The Maze Runner series a favorite of mine. I could tell from the beginning of the DC that this single character was strategically placed so he/she could die. I do feel one character in particular was always destined to die, and therefore had a red x marked upon them from the start. I lost a few of my favorite characters, and that was a difficult part of the story, but some people also got a chance for redemption, and that’s okay by me too. ![]() These characters will stay with me forever, and I will think of them often. Not at all what I was expecting and it was exactly what I needed when I decided to read it. While I still raced through, I could not stop my mind from wandering to the previous stories and what they contained.Īll in all, a very memorable series. I suppose this reason is why I have a lower rating for DC. As I chugged along, I started to miss the trials of the first two installments and the creepiness they brought to the forefront. I didn’t quite understand why there was such a low average rating at first, because as I said before, the story started out with action and suspense. Brenda is present through the whole book, but she isn’t the focus. So this adds a little tension to the story that was not there before. In tune with book two, Thomas is having a hard time trusting Teresa, let alone forgiving her. Even with destruction and anarchy all around him, he never forgets those who were dear to him and lost their lives in this corrupted society. He is such a strong person to read about and has never once let a friend down. Thomas is, as always, my favorite character. While I enjoyed all three, the first two had an eeriness that could not be replicated by the Wicked government agenda/escape in the final installment. I must admit that out of all three of the MR books, TDC left the least of an impression on me. ![]()
