Summarised Review

This movie is an incredibly well-executed, captivating version of the novel. It brings the wildest figments of one's imagination to life, creating a surreal, cinematic experience. The quality of the plot does not waver, as is evident through the build up to a not-at-all-anti-climactic conclusion. One might even say that Wes Bell did an even better job than Dashner himself.

Themes explored: mind control, artificial intelligence, survival, loss, the race against time.

How it was watched: Flat Screen Tv, Sky
Platform:             Pros- Easy to rewind/fast-forward & resume playback
                                     - Brightness & Volume, easily adjusted for different scenes
                   Cons-Some scenes were much louder than others, so the volume has to be                                   adjusted accordingly.
