I missed the second Maze Runner movie because of a scheduling conflict – and, I must admit, because I had seen the first one. Released in 2014, the original Maze Runner, which cleaned up at the box office, nevertheless seemed a feeble entry in the waning teen-dystopia craze. (How many remember The Giver, also 2014, or the previous year’s Ender’s Game?). So I missed and then willfully skipped the second film—The Scorch Trials, it was called—and now, checking back in for The Death Cure, the concluding installment of this franchise, I discover that the story has taken a hard left turn into an action-crazed Mad Max universe, with a pit stop in Blade Runner-ville, writes Kurt Loder.
