Empire
While it’s a woefully incomplete middle chapter, at least it’s never boring.
60
Scorch Trials ambitiously opens up its world with mixed results: gripping action, so-so script.
60
The production design and effects for this apocalyptic terrain are way above par for this sort of thing, and evidence of a much higher budget than Ball had first time around.
50
With more action and less mystery, a returning director and main cast and a handful of sketchy new characters, The Scorch Trials makes for an efficient yet uninspiring sequel.
50
The Scorch Trials offers virtually no character development and only hints of plot advancement, mostly just functioning to move a group of obliquely motivated characters from one place to another without giving much clue where the whole thing is headed.
