If it sounds like there isn't an original thought in The Scorch Trials' scripted head, you're right. But at least you won't be smacking yourself in the head trying to figure out what's going on.

The teen dystopian franchise continues to play rough, and now even rougher, with satisfying results.
Rafer Guzman, Newsday
Rotten
With minimal plot development and far too much running around in dark corridors, The Scorch Trials has a poor story:filler ratio. And much of what happens is poorly thought-out.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
The sequel is terrible and all my original criticisms for the first film still stand, but at least it's a more entertaining kind of awful.
Andrew Parker, Globe and Mail

This story was better off back in the maze.
