What we thought:

This movie is an adventure from beginning to end and will have you sitting on the edge of your seat, with a hand full of popcorn, wanting to know what will happen next! When Thomas is sent to the maze and wakes up to a group of lost boys, his curiosity finally sets the bar for finding a way out.

The only downfall of this movie is the plot twist right at the end which may leave you disappointed, but expect and action packed adventure that will have you waiting in anticipation for the sequel.
