Rating: PG-13, for thematic elements and intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, including some disturbing images. This is yet another sci-fi thriller based on yet another young adult novel set in a rigidly structured, dystopian future.
As an adult you may or may not like this book depending on the type of books you like to read. But I would not want any middle schooler to read this type of book, too much of an unnecessary blood/murder/torture description. Be aware!
Rating: PG-13, for extended sequences of violence and action, some thematic elements, substance abuse and language. It's the second movie in the Maze Runner series and pretty standard post-apocalyptic, YA-novel fare, so in theory you know what you're getting into here.
Teens (ages 12 – 18) are the target audience, although many adults are reading these books right along with them. What's it about? It's one overarching story broken into three separate books, each with its own plot: The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, The Death Cure.
There are intense scenes involving strong threat and attacks from large biomechanical creatures which roam the maze at night. There are also intense moments of strong threat involving infected characters who become aggressive and violent, and scenes of threat when characters disagree with each other.
Very violent and involving gang killing of a boy. So, this is supposed to be based on the book, one of my son's favourites, but it is far too violent for its PG rating.
The author never states that any of the characters are explicitly Lgbtq+. There isn't much romance anyway though, and only two real couples. The reason you may be confused is many people do believe that the main character (Thomas) is bi. He is shipped with Newt, and Minho.
The Maze Runner is loosely based on the bestselling first book of a young adult trilogy written by James Dashner. It's a dark, violent and sometimes profane movie.
This movie deserves its M rating. It has even more intense violence, blood and gore, and scary images and characters than the first movie in the series. The movie is likely to be very disturbing for children. It's unsuitable for young children and isn't recommended for anyone under 15.
At the movie mid-time, a scene taking place in a club with some teens and young adults wearing sensual outfits are dancing close together. Many of them are shown in a stupor. At the club, a teen boy and girl characters were slightly inebriated, kiss passionately that lasts for seconds.
It's all a big test. They did experiments on how they would all react; that is why they have group A all boys to see how they react to the Glade and Teresa and grour B all girls to see how they react to the Glade and Aris.
The dystopian sci-fi thriller, which is based on James Dashner's young adult novel, has been reduced by 43 seconds to secure a lower rating and reach a wider audience.
This movie has several violent and disturbing scenes, so it's most suited to older teenagers and young adults. It isn't recommended for children under 13 years, and we recommend parental guidance for children aged 13-15 years.
It is very suspenseful throughout and includes some intensely violent and disturbing scenes, including a suicide and the violent deaths of teenagers. It is therefore not suitable for children under 13, and not recommended for under 15 year olds, therefore, parental guidance is advised for 13 and 14 year olds.
Season 4 not for younger viewers. Season 4 is definitely 16 and up, straight up horror. It's a good show but not for younger kids. Lots of torture, grizzly death, one child losing control with anger to the point of bludgeoning another child in the face with a roller skate.
Meanwhile, while 'The Hunger Games' scores points for characterisation, 'Maze Runner' offers a far better quality of visceral action. If tightly-focused, heart-pounding sci-fi is more your thing, you'll appreciate 'Maze Runner'. If you're a sucker for social commentary, you'll love 'The Hunger Games'.
Summary. Disney confirms Maze Runner 4 is in development, expanding the successful YA franchise with potential new storylines. Possible storylines for Maze Runner 4 include prequels or sequels, offering different directions and connections to the original trilogy.
Not for kids. I was really surprised and annoyed at the level of violence, horrible zombie creatures and sexual themes. Definitely nothing like the first movie. I would probably not even let my 16 year old watch this.
All the way through, it's pretty much all action and violence. Now I usually love action and violence in a book because it makes it exciting but this was non-stop. It doesn't give you time as a reader to catch your breath and too much action gets boring.
By season 3, Maze has become much more emotionally human, while still retaining her demonic sense of humor and fascination with weapons. Later, she marries Eve, the first woman, ex wife of Adam, the first man. Mazikeen has been described as pansexual.
Thomas somehow manages to bag TWO girls in Scorch Trials. Within the first interaction between Brenda and Thomas, she's already kissing his cheek and telling him she likes him. A hundred pages earlier, Thomas and Teresa share a kiss.
