#The death cure setting series

If youвЂ™re not well-versed in Maze Runner film lore, the film series is well worth exploring and experiencing. If you are a fan of these films, The Death Cure is a wicked end youвЂ™ve got to witness. The Death Cure film and the entire Maze Runner film series are served so well by their respective continuity and a quality handling of the complex story that they aim to tell. It does, however, provide a gripping and satisfying end for fans of the overall plot and of the film adaptation series. If you are a bigger fan of the book series than the films, I will say that this film does not entirely adhere to the plot of the book. The film does suffer just a bit structurally, and at times might seem like it lacks direction if youвЂ™re not up to date with the seriesвЂ™ story. I must suggest you watch the first two films in the series in order to know the intricacies of what is happening in this final entry. This is something I think enhances the delicate and exciting emotions of the filmвЂ™s narrative. The score for Death Cure is not only multifaceted and well written, but it is extremely well nuanced to the exact moments on screen. Another reflection of this extra time seems to be the soundtrack. The delay reflected on the film in that it seems the director and producers were able to fully ensure they had a high quality, fully realised film before the release date.

It would seem that the film was better off for its delay, as the narrative of the film was very completely fleshed out, and the overall quality of this film was slightly above the others in the series. The characters are forced to jump from the window of a tall building, and BallвЂ™s choice to have the camera follow them out the window and nearly to the ground is absolutely heart-stopping.ДЄs the characters work to invade WCKDвЂ™s compound, save their friends, and end the chaos once and for all, the cast, acting, and script are all sincerely well done and well used. Halfway through the film, there is a shot during an escape sequence that is breathtaking. Death CureвЂ™s director, Wes Ball, directed the first two films in the series, and just like in those films, the action sequences and tense dialogue are masterfully done, so much so that it is difficult as an audience member to avoid feeling the same tension and motivation as the characters. Each action the characters take is motivated by their ongoing struggle and their desire to vanquish the ones who have caused it. In other words, the tone of the film is set perfectly.ДЇrom that moment on in the film, the pacing is very well executed. This opening sequence sets in motion a visually and internally electrifying narrative that does not let up until the filmвЂ™s climax and the seriesвЂ™ ultimate resolution. We see a single, dilapidated vehicle speeding across this landscape towards an electrifying rescue of some of WCKDвЂ™s test subjects from a train. This is something it carries along well from the setting of the previous films. The Death Cure begins by establishing the sheer barren landscape that our story is set in. It suffered a severe delay in production due to star Dylan OвЂ™Brien breaking his leg midway through. Maze Runner: The Death Cure is the final instalment in the film adaptations of James DashnerвЂ™s book series, following Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015) and The Maze Runner (2014) before that. In a fresh break from the previously mentioned series, in both the film and novel versions of The Maze Runner series the characters must survive and seek justice all by themselves, finding very little help from adults or authority figures. The evil corporation WCKD is the entity that has placed them there in order to monitor an experiment on them with the purpose of finding a cure to a vegetative disease that has ravaged the world.

They have their memories wiped clean, and are placed in a maze compound that they must escape in order to survive. Rather than the plot being based upon a societal change that all of the characters must adhere to as in the The Hunger Games and Divergent series, the teenagers in The Maze Runner have absolutely no choice in the matter.

The Maze Runner series is unique, however, in the way that it presents its characters and in the way their story unfolds. All involve an authority in the not too distant future that is violently oppressing its citizens with its power and must be overcome. Whether itвЂ™s The Hunger Games, Divergent, or the most recent to be made into a film series, The Maze Runner, audiences seem to find lots to relate to in this genre. In the last decade, dystopian teen fiction has been all the rage.
