#MattsMovieMania The Maze Runner

Thomas is deposited in a community of boys after his memory is erased, soon learning they're all trapped in a maze that will require him to join forces with fellow "runners" for a shot at escape.

Thomas wakes up in an elevator, remembering nothing but his own name. He emerges into a world of about 60 teen boys who have learned to survive in a completely enclosed environment, subsisting on their own agriculture and supplies. A new boy arrives every 30 days. The original group has been in "The Glade" for three years, trying to find a way to escape through the Maze that surrounds their living space. They have begun to give up hope. Then a comatose girl arrives with a strange note, and their world begins to change. There are some great, fast-paced action scenes, particularly those involving the nightmarish Grievers who plague the boys.

"Beyond the visuals, what makes The Maze Runner so compelling is its attention-grabbing storyline." -Bill Zwecker

"Even if it doesn't manage to be quite the "Hunger Games"-level hit its producers would clearly desire, it's the best of the wannabes we've seen so far." -Austin Chronicle
