Walter Googins

My comments:   I read the book for and saw the first movie in this series.  Totally skipped the second, and this was the final segment of the trilogy.  Lots of bangs and booms, zombies, and Walter Googins as a half-zombie - the bad guy that will stop at nothing.  A surprise, supposedly dead, character from the past.  An especially long entertaining movie with an okay ending, though nothing spectacular.  A good way to spend the evening after a long weekend of work, in the dark, with a cold soda, feet up in a recliner, and the big screen in front of me.


RT/ IMDb Summary:  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.
