Thomas leads some escaped Gladers on their final and most dangerous mission yet. To save their friends, they must break into the legendary Last City, a WCKD-controlled labyrinth that may turn out to be the deadliest maze of all. Anyone who makes it out alive will get answers to the questions that the Gladers have been asking since they arrived in the maze.

Critics Consensus

Maze Runner: The Death Cure may offer closure to fans of the franchise, but for anyone who hasn't already been hooked, this bloated final installment is best left unseen.

Director Wes Ball fails to generate any emotional resonance with this premise, though some of the action sequences are exciting.

The intrigue of the first part, the fascinating design of the maze and the interplay between the characters trapped in the Glade have been eroded over the subsequent parts to end in a most unsatisfactory way.

It's efficiently done and there moments in it that are arresting... [but] have we now done with this particular cycle of films? Because I think we all have.

...the need to conclude Thomas and Teresa's story impacts the overall strength of the script, tilting some scenes toward a sense of realism that contrasts with the fantastical logic that defined the saga from its inception. [Full review in Spanish]

2/4

Both formally and narratively, The Death Cure feels like a patchwork, Frankensteined together from better material.

A bombastic blast that sends the series off on a high note.

The last installment of the franchise highlights emotional connections while action driven scenes bind the viewer to the screen! While it may seem the "maze" has lost its maze so to speak, it holds true to the original with surprises around every corner. Thomas, (Dylan O'Brien) is amazing once again captavating the audience with true emotional variance and he literally is the glue that holds this maze together 😂. Definitely a strong ending to a strong series that absolutely does the books justice! 7.9 for me

The summary of the movie mentions how the final city is a "labyrinth", and calls it the most "dangerous maze yet". It did not feel at all like a maze, I was very disappointed when I finally watched the film.

Amo os visuais do elenco no filme, a fotografia e o ápice emocional é a morte do Newt com aquela carta de despedida. 10/10!

It was alright, I wish the scenes and break ins/extractions were more plausible.
