Maze Runner: The Death Cure

I'd been a fans ever since. I'd read all the 5 books in the series: 

The Maze Runner
The Scorch Trials
The Death Cure
The Kill Order 
The Fever Code

It's an amazing ride through this series. It could be considered the first novel series I'd finished reading even before Harry Potter. I love the journey with Thomas, Newt, Minho and their fellow Gladers. I'd learned Gladers' slang like shuck, shank, greenie etc. 

And now we have come to an end of the cinematic adaption. I have watched the production of TDC until it finally goes on the big screen. I tried my luck and won fans screening premiere in Malaysia which claimed to be the first screening over Asia. I'm able to watch it like 25 days earlier, I lost count actually. Got merchandise for free during the premiere. Yes, I cried during the movie, I wouldn't be afraid to admit that. And I invited my friend to watch the premiere with me, and I cried so hard it's difficult to stop. 

And can you believe that I watched another 3 times excluding the premiere? I couldn't believe it either but I did. I watched on that day it show up in cinema, another time with my friend after exam, and one last time with another friend who wanted to watch it. Yes, I cried every time. 

The movie adaption is different from the book, obviously, but the director and screenplay did a great job in setting up the story but it doesn't lose track on the book. People who died, sadly still die, just in a different way where the fans can accept it. The story is smooth, thrilled, action-packed, and emotional. Sorry, I wasn't good at reviewing things. I love the cast so much, they portrayed each characters perfectly. And thanks to director Wes Ball and screenplay T.S Nowlin for such amazing adaption with amazing changes from the books which makes it fill with more humanity. Thanks to all behind the scene workers, post-production crew and everyone who makes the movie a success, without each of them, this franchise will not happened.

Just another thing to add on, many review from critics are not as good, they said the movie is made for fans. I believe so, the movie is like 2 hour and 30 minutes long. I don't care what the critics said but I believe this is the best YA novel adaption compared to the others even though there are major changes, and I love that Wes did not care about others and made the movie for fans. A huge thank you for the crew!
