Ep 83. Honest Trailers - The Maze Runner

In this episode of Honest Trailers, the team takes on the popular YA novel turned movie, The Maze Runner. The video begins with the narrator setting the scene in a post-apocalyptic world where the only thing left to do is, apparently, build mazes. The trailer then dives into the plot of the movie, which centers around a group of teenagers trapped in a mysterious maze that they're trying to escape.

From there, the Honest Trailers team takes on the various ridiculous aspects of the movie, such as the fact that the kids seem to have immediate trust in each other despite the fact that they just met, the unclear motivations of the "Grievers" (the creatures that roam the maze), and the fact that the solution to the maze seems to be found very easily by the group.

Throughout the trailer, the narrator and the team poke fun at the movie's plot holes and inconsistencies, as well as the various cliches that are found in many YA novel adaptations. They also take aim at the film's lackluster performances and the fact that at times it seems like the character's are running in circles (literally) without any real purpose.

As the Honest Trailer comes to a close, the team delivers their final verdict on The Maze Runner, stating that while it has its flaws, it's ultimately a fun ride for those who enjoy the YA genre. They also note that while the movie may not be the best adaptation of a YA novel out there, it's certainly not the worst.

Overall, fans of the series or those who have read the novel will find plenty to laugh about in this Honest Trailer. The team's sarcastic wit and clever editing make for an entertaining watch, and their commentary on the various flaws of the film are often spot on.
