I know this is my first update, but if I'm honest I am already cheating a bit because I didn't see the movie on television, but at the movies. The circumstances were great. I was there with my girlfriend, we had a huge box of popcorn and the cinema room was really crowded.
Before watching 'The Maze Runner' I didn't know much about it. The main reason we went looking was because our friends were fond of it.
The least I can say is it wasn't a disappointment. I enjoyed every minute of it and would watch it again right immediately.
Now more on the storyline. The movie takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where some young men are trapped in a certain community called 'the Glade'. Every month a new boy is sent into the glade with a loss of any memory. The Glade is surrounded with a big maze, which makes it impossible for the boys to escape. The moment Thomas, the main character, is sent in everything changes. From the moment he arrives, he is very curious to discover each detail about his new living place. At first the others are a little suspicious because he is 'the greenie'(the newbie) and he starts to disturb their way of living. But then something amazing happens, he is the first one ever to survive a night in the maze and from that moment the real adventure starts. I won't spoil anything but it ends with a cliffhanger because there will be 2 more movies.
Rigth after the movie I was willing to watch the second movie, but unfortunately that was impossible. I'll have to wait till November next year or buy the books because the story is based on a trilogy written by James Dashner.
