It's been over a week since I've watched this movie, and I just can't let it slide without talking about it; even though it's loooong over due.
So yeah, what happened after the glade? Basically that’s what Scorch
Trials is all about. It’s the second installment after Maze Runner where we see
our boys starts running, not anymore in the maze but in a big devastated land
under the scorching heat of the sun; thus the name.
Before I say anything about this movie, I just have to say,
I’m a big fan of the books thus I don’t really like it when makers starts to "jungle-up" the whole movie franchise. And this movie installment of the Scorch
Trials didn’t really go as the book says.
There were lots, like really A LOT of mixed up scenes and
settings that were changed that I think important episodes were not
given justice [so to say, Teresa’s role in the whole story. Sorry spoiler!]
Let’s say, they tried so hard to summarize the whole trilogy that it started skipping a huge amount of scenes [and I think I
already know what the third movie would be about.]
I was practically forced to
suspend everything I’ve read in the books from book 1 to book 3 just that I’d be
able to absorb all the NEW information the movie franchise wants me know.
[that’s the thing about makers buying the rights to change the things in the
movie, they always try to summarize things; and as a fan, I just don;t really like it.... Tsktsktsk]
And also, you know one thing I was really looking out in the movie was hearing the actors put their "glade slang" into reality. I mean I missed those glader words like shank, clink, shuck, sticks and everything else. I thought I was finally hearing Minho use them, but I think I never did.
However, instead of hating the movie totally, I think I can
forgive them. That is because, they might have shook-up the whole sequence in
the movie, but the trill in the books was preserved and translated well. That was what made the books so cool anyway, because it gave you a hella
thrill while you were reading it. And yes, the movie didn’t disappoint. And let’s just say, SOME important scenes were there too, only that they
changed the settings and things like that.
Well, all in all, I’d give this movie a good rating. Just
because the boys are just so HOT! Joke! No, I give it a 4 out of 5. Because I
was still so thrilled, and yes, they were so hot [*cough* Hot men and their monolids *cough* MINHO *cough cough*].. ahhahah!!!
Shoutout to my new ship! NEWT-TERESA! Yey!!!! Random ships
