The second this flick starts, the action hits surprisingly hard. With the help of a strange and powerful resistance leader named Lawrence (Walton Goggins), they return to WCKD to try and rescue their friends from a deadly fate? Or will they find find the cure and save the world? The Maze Runners are trying to protect themselves from Ava Paige (Patricia Clarkson), Janson (Aidan Gillen) and fellow Glader turned traiter, Teresa (Scodelario), all of whom are trying to find a cure and fully willing to risk their subjects lives for the greater good. While they are able to save a few "Gladers" – Maze survivors – they weren’t able to get to their old friend. It begins with a dangerous train rescue as the crew attempts to save Minho (Ki Hong Lee) from captivity – he is about to become another lab rat for WCKD. THE DEATH CURE takes place soon after Thomas and friends manage to survive THE SCORCH TRIALS. And frankly, aside from the bloated run time, I still found enough to entertain in. MAZE RUNNER: THE DEATH CURE is the final film in the trilogy, and it should please those already initiated in the trials and tribulations of Thomas (Dylan O’Brien), Teresa (Kaya Scodelario) and the rest of the survivors.

Following one last rescheduling, the movie now has an official global premiere all ready for January 26. In May 2016, it was later pushed to a January 2018 debut but was once again moved a month further to February, in order to allow more time for post-production. This led to principal photography shutting down altogether with the original release date scrapped. Specific details regarding the fiasco were never brought to light, but while folks behind the show reassured fans that the Teen Wolfalum wasn't in grave danger, his injuries turned out to be more serious than originally perceived. Originally set to arrive in cinemas earlier this year, production of the movie was halted after O'Brien was involved in an on-set accident in Vancouver in March 2016. The Death Cure has been a long time coming.
