Maze Runner

The Main Cast Members In the movie are-

Dylan O’Brien- Thomas

Ki Hong Lee- Minho

Blake Cooper- Chuck

Thomas Brodie Sangster- Newt

Kaya Scodelario- Teresa

Will Poulter- Gally

Dexter Darden- Fry Pan

My favourite scene in the movie is how they try and find a way out the maze. They were blocked by huge concrete walls. My favourite scene is when there was big scary creatures that went and attacked them. All tents had been broken down and some people had been killed by them. There were more and more coming from inside the walls. When it got dark they lighted up candles and torches. So the five of them were brave and decided to go in. The wall was about to close but they just made it. Some of them did not make it through the maze.The movie was interesting.
