My opinion on the movie 'Maze Runner: Death Cure'

By Denise O.


The movie Maze Runner: Death Cure first came out in December of 2018 and became a popular hit easily making $102,427.862 in North America and more than $245.8 million in other places. Despite its initial popularity, I'm writing about this movie because it has become a somewhat forgotten movie in the six years or so since its original release, but is still great, and I would like to revive it and give the students of AHS a suggestion for something to watch whenever they have free time.


The film itself is very good and entertaining and I think people would find it enjoyable to watch. The movie is somewhat similar to Hunger Games, in the sense that both fit into the dystopian genre, and since those movies were such a hit, that basically sums up how good of a movie the Maze Runner: Death Cure is. 


The plot of the film is teenagers trying to help and find their friend that got taken away from them by people who worked to research a type of disease going around that causes taking people's lives and causing major danger in the city, while they try to find someone with some type of blood to cure it.


The first reason Maze Runner: Death Cure is so good is because it really is such a adventurous and exciting movie, it really brings up the mood of excitement and just in general the movie is good


Another aspect of the film that students may like is the lessons this movie teaches, like having trust in friendships because one person may not be the person you thought they were. Another is forgiving because you can't just hate someone for 1 mistake they had committed but also you have to take the time and realize to just forgive and move on in life.


I also liked the film because when i was younger i would always love to watch adventure movies and my cousins showed me the maze runner series and it was just so good and i instantly loved it.


A few days ago when I went around interviewing people, a friend of mine, Kayley P. (´28) had many good opinions about the movie and how ¨an amazing movie shouldnt be forgotten when it used to be such a hit back when it first released¨.


Breana H. (´27) quoted that the movie was good but just wasn't the type of movie she would watch because she is a sensitive person and doesn't like seeing very realistic images, but the images were kinda bad just not extremely. 


Jorge loser quotes on the website espinof, “Entertaining and very meritorious as an adventure movie” because he liked how very good it was and how many emotions this movie showed, it was just lovely to his liking.


Mikel Zorrilla reviewed on the same website espinof, saying “It is an acceptable entertainment that correctly closes the story.” because this movie isn't like any other movie that leaves off with cliffhangers and this one ended with a good understandable ending leaving no confusion to viewers.


To overall rate this movie I would personally give it a 8/10.


If I have convinced you enough that it made you interested in watching the movie, it is available to rent or buy on 3 top platforms: Youtube, Apple TV, and amazon prime.
