![]() Maze Runner: The Death Cure (also known simply as The Death Cure) is a 2018 American dystopian science fiction action film directed by Wes Ball and written. Jan 16, 2018 Maze Runner: The Death Cure begins its international rollout tomorrow in South Korea, after which it will eventually make its way to US theaters on Jan 26. Thomas leads the Gladers into a WCKD-controlled labyrinth that may be the deadliest maze of all. A Spoonful of Action Makes This Medicine Go Down. By The Maze Runner movies have been an enjoyable outlier in the 21st century YA fantasy genre. For two films now they've focused more on action and bizarre mysteries than anything resembling serious melodrama. The heroes of The Maze Runner and The Scorch Trials barely have time to catch their breath. Taking a break to pontificate about their feelings is a luxury that none of them could afford until now. The third film in the series, The Death Cure, has all the exhilarating action we’ve come to expect from this trilogy but, because it has to wrap everything up, it also gets more personal and dramatic. And that's a problem. The story is ending - heck, maybe even the whole WORLD is ending - and the good guys and bad guys are both wondering about what impact they’ve had and whether or not they’ll ever get closure with the people they love, and none of it works because for two of these films all these characters have been total mysteries. ![]() Most of them are amnesiacs, for crying out loud. Amnesia was the perfect excuse to have them run headlong into the next deathtrap without thinking about their personal baggage, but now, too late, they're looking behind them and worried about where their baggage went. The Death Cure opens with Thomas (Dylan O’Brien), Newt (Thomas Brodie-Sangster), Brenda (Rosa Salazar), Frypan (Dexter Darden) and Jorge (Giancarlo Esposito) in the middle of a death-defying train heist, as they try to rescue their captured friend Minho (Ki Hong Lee) from the clutches of the sinister corporation WCKD. The evil leaders of WCKD are using Minho’s blood to cure the Flare Virus, which has ravaged the whole world and killed billions of people, and yes, it’s kind of hard to explain why they’re the bad guys. They’re trying to save more lives than the heroes ever do in this series.
