Maze Runner: Scorch Trials (Movie Review)

Okay, any excuse to see Dylan O'Brien on screen or in person... I would most definitely use that money. He is just a beautiful man. I mean, look at his face. 
And this one...


Oh and this one...

He is a definition of perfect. Actor and singer. And he's tall. Tall. Come on now, if you're not in love with him, there is something wrong with you. 

Now here is the review to Scorch Trials!

Released Date: September 18, 2015
Genre: Dystopian/Thriller

Synopsis: 
Transported to a remote fortified outpost, Thomas and his fellow teenage Gladers find themselves in trouble after uncovering a diabolical plot from the mysterious and powerful organization WCKD. With help from a new ally, the Gladers stage a daring escape into the Scorch, a desolate landscape filled with dangerous obstacles and crawling with the virus-infected Cranks. The Gladers only hope may be to find the Right Hand, a group of resistance fighters who can help them battle WCKD.

Again, like I said, Dylan O'Brien is just amazing and he makes the series even better to watch because if you have some eye candy during a dystopian-anything... It just makes it all better especially if he makes you feel safe.  Now personally, he made the movie even better.

I have never watched the first movie... I know judge me now for I have wronged this movie. I now need to read the series and fall in love with the idea that Dylan O'Brien is Thomas.

I loved the thrilling parts where it made me jump and cringe. I definitely was not expecting the freaks of nature that have the same symptoms of a zombie apocalypse. 

Will you please give O'Brien a round of applause? Even if I did not watch the first movie, I felt an immediate connection with the characters, although I was a bit confused at first as to what was going on. But I think i caught on pretty well. Also give a round of applause to Wes Ball, the director. He did such a fantastic job with both movies. 

I rate this movie a good 4.7 stars out of 5. I wish that I could rate it more but it was an interesting ending. Aforementioned, it was almost as if it was Divergent met The Walking Dead. Not like either of those movies or shows were awful but it was an interesting mix. Honestly though, it made me want to read the books.

I will blog you later however. Goodnight!

Insurgent (Movie Review)

So I came back from watching Insurgent and I have to say that I am pretty disappointed in the creation of this movie.
Release Date: March 11, 2015
Genre: Teen Dystopian/Action
Synopsis: 
Now on the run from Jeanine (Kate Winslet) and the rest of the power-hungry Erudites, Tris (Shailene Woodley) and Four (Theo James) search for allies and answers in the ruins of Chicago. They must find out whatTris' family sacrificed their lives to protect and why the Erudites will do anything to stop them. Side by side, Tris and Four face one seemingly insurmountable challenge after another, as they unravel the secrets of the past and -- ultimately -- the future of their world.

Okay, so disappointment sounds a little harsh but after reading the book and watching the movie, I just felt like they changed the whole movie plot. So I guess I felt irritated.

No spoilers but hopefully, I am not the only one out there that felt the same.


I feel that if the director, script maker, and author could all work together, the movie would have turned out fantastic.


I asked some family members as to what they thought of the movie and I will let you know now, that they did not read the books. They enjoyed the movie and were really into it.


There were parts that I may say that made me laugh and they got right but in all honesty, would I watch it again, probably not. But then again, I have a weird obsession where I cannot have any imcompletes among my extensive books/movie collections or it drive me insane and considering I already have the first movie, I'll need the second too. 


I felt a little evil after explaining to my family why I didn't enjoy the movie and I would rather get back my money for it which made them get irritated by the movie. So... yeah... 


Anyways, I think that I would recommend this to people who have not read the series or else you will get a slight irritation. 


I rate this a 2 out of 5 stars.

But the trailers were good!


Fast and Furious 7

The Age of Adeline
The Longest Ride
Pitch Perfect 2
MAX

and there's a supposedly scary movie coming out but I forgot the name already. I usually anticipate them too.

Update:

So the other movie that I am excited about is Pixels. I thought the trailer for that was funny. I will post that later. 

Also the scary movie is called, Before I Wake. 

Blog you later, awesome nerds.
