The first half of James Dashner's The Maze Runner maintains a superbly frantic pace. Thomas, our empty-shell-of-a-protagonist is thrust, via the Box, into a curious and unfriendly world populated by dozens of teenage boys. He remembers nothing, and the boys are uncooperative, refusing to reveal any details regarding their home, the Glade. The Glade is surrounded by stupendously tall walls, outside of which lays the Maze. During the day, the Maze is (kinda sorta) safe. But at night, the Grievers emerge. These are half slug/half woodshop tools that enjoy slicing and dicing apart anyone unfortunate to encounter them. They can also sting you, which causes much mayhem and requires the administering of Grief Serum, which triggers the Changing. Alby asks to see Thomas alone, without Newt, and tries to tell him something he has seen during the Changing that had to do with Thomas, but before he can give him any real information, he starts trying to choke himself. With Newt's help, Thomas manages to stop him. Alby then says it "wasn't really him", that someone was controlling his actions.

Barthelmey created a test design that he presented to director Wes Ball. Impressed by Barthelmey's work, Ball asked him to add a mechanical scorpion tail to the design. Barthelmey used various animal inspirations to come up with the design, including coconut crabs, caterpillars and piranhas. Besides the Grievers, Barthelmey also worked on several Maze, Beetle Blade (cut from the film) and Crank designs. [6] Casting [ edit ] Harrison, Jessica (3 October 2009).

Thomas wakes up in the middle of a glen in the center a enormous maze. He (along with all of the other guys in there) have no memory of life outside of the maze. I enjoyed the subtle connections to the first trilogy. Just enough to intrigue me but to let these characters still stand on their own. Rea, Steven (September 18, 2014).
