Introducing Ultra HD. 4 Times Sharper than HD. Offers Brilliant Brights and Deepest Darks with HDR (High Dynamic Range) and Wider Colour Spectrum adding Dazzling Colours to your viewing experience. The Maze Runner is now available in this new format. In this heart-pounding survival thriller based on the best-selling novel, Thomas (Dylan O’Brien of MTV’s Teen Wolf ) wakes up trapped in a massive, ever-changing maze with a group of boys who have no memory of the outside world. Facing dangerous obstacles at every turn — especially the deadly Grievers that roam the concrete corridors at night — Thomas and the others must race to piece together clues in order to discover their true purpose…and find a way out before it’s too late! NOTE: Please ensure to check that player and TV are equipped to play HDR before purchasing Review: An excellent SF movie which doesn’t run out of steam - This is a hugely entertaining and intriguing dystopian SF thriller with overtones of the Lord of the Flies. The protagonist is Thomas, a 16-year boy who wakes up inside an underground service elevator which stops at the surface, a large grassy area (The Glade) enclosed by tall, stone walls (The Maze). Thomas has no memory of his identity and through his perspective we discover that the group of male youths who inhabit the Glade have formed a rudimentary society with each boy assuming a specialised task. The ‘maze runners’ are tasked with exploring and mapping the surrounding labyrinthine structure with the purpose of finding not only a way of escape but also a reason for their predicament. The movie has echoes of Vincenzo Natali’s SF horror film The Cube with the Maze’s moving walls and has a similar level of prolonged tension and resolution. I was genuinely gripped by the well-paced narrative and the film held my attention to the very end with glimpses of a post-apocalyptic world. An excellent addition to the genre and I will definitely be watching the sequel. Review: Excellent movie - I highly enjoyed watching this film in the cinema. So much I got it on bluray. It is based on a book of the same name, but I have not read the book before the film. Which I prefer to do, seeing books tend to get better ratings then films etc. I really enjoyed the story and the action of the film, although there were parts when I got confused. For a post-apocalyptic film, I found this more entertaining then most meeting my exceptions, as I rarely see these types. That said, it was more the sci-fi part that grabbed my attention. I really loved this movie and the bluray is in great HD and as you get a digital copy you can have a copy on the go no matter where you are.

Good - But not in comparison to the novel!
After reading the book, I was very enthusiastic to see the words brought to life in what was described as a 'Major motion picture'. Unfortunately, all the best bits of the book were sucked out in order to fit it into a suitable running time. The depth of the plot and the characters were both lost and simplified at every possible opportunity. It was still a decent adaptation, but it just doesn't compare to the book. I'm sure if I'd have watched this without reading I would have enjoyed it as much as others - However, others I watched the movie with felt exactly the same without reading a single chapter. A rushed production. Many say this is common in films, sometimes true, but this didn't occur in my opinion with other books in the same genre. Both 'The Hunger Games' by Suzanne Collins and 'Divergent' by Veronica Roth looked fantastic on the big screen. Overall, take a punt and buy the movie if you have enjoyed similar films in the past but prepare for possible disappointment if you have read the book beforehand. Do not let this review put you off buying the book if that was on your agenda though - It really is a must read!

Fun, enjoyable movie
I purposefully wouldn't read the book before I saw the movie because I wanted to go into the movie not knowing what would happen. I tend to read the books first and get disappointed by the movie adaptation (i.e. Percy Jackson movies?). Enjoyed the movie immensely but felt it went by too quick. Not a knock on the movie, just didn't want it to end. I found myself pulling for certain Gladers and got annoyed when/if something happened to them. I think I even yelled at my screen a few times for all the help that did. This isn't on the level of Hunger Games good, but it's quick good in it's own right. Glad to see they are already filming the next book.
