Just saw “The Maze Runner”

A somewhat interesting premise that becomes too convoluted as time progresses.

A stories that features a characters with amnesia is the perfect way to have an audience follow a unique situation because you only know as much as the main character. However unlike “fish out of water” characters who you relate to before the action scenes there is always a mystery about the main character that you expect will be revealed and that will have all the loose ends tide up. That is true for this movie as a whole but unfortunately some loose ends are just explained away with exposition while others are still left unresolved for the possible sequel. It also doesn’t help when story twists just happen with no clear explanation.

It was very exciting watching our hero Thomas master his unusual situation unfortunately I wished all the pieces of that situation fit together better.
