Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials maintains the series’ excitement but treads familiar dystopian themes. The sequel expands its world-building with the Scorch, offering thrilling visuals and action-packed sequences. While some found the plot convoluted, the solid performances by the young cast keep the audience engaged. The film successfully bridges between its predecessor and the final chapter, though it might feel like a setup for the next installment rather than a standalone story.
