The main character is a teenager Thomas, who wakes up in the elevator, but does not remember anything except his own name. He is among the other teenagers who have learned to survive in an enclosed space. Once every 30 days a new boy arrives. A group of children has been living in the Shelter for three years. They feed on what they manage to grow on the ground, and try to find a way out of the labyrinth surrounding their residence. But one day a girl appears in a state of coma ...
The road will be mastered by the RunnerAlready after watching the first Trailer Runner in the labyrinth, a desire appeared in the soonest time to see this product of modern cinema. It was very interesting to mix the ancient Greek myth of the Minotaur and the famous novel by William Golding "The Lord of the Flies". And by and large the concept did not disappoint.
Noise. Darkness. Limited space. Who am I? Where I am? Why am I here? It is impossible to collect scattered pieces of memory in my head. Sudden stop. Beating in the eyes of a bright light and a lot of bowed heads. What is going on? Who are these people? Run as quickly as possible. Where did these giant walls come from? Is this a labyrinth? ..
Approximately, this is seen and felt by newcomers who do not even remember their own name. Thomas is one of these newcomers. And yet he is not exactly a typical neophyte. The fact is that he sees dreams, where some fragments of memories slip, which none of the others had. Nevertheless, Thomas begins to gradually learn the rules of the game, and understands that for a successful search for an exit, it is simply necessary to penetrate the labyrinth by all possible means. The matter becomes somewhat more complicated when the next unfortunate person is sent to a girl holding a note with the text in her hand: "She is the last one ever". This fundamentally changes the already established order of things ...
Despite the target audience, the film boasts a nehily twisted plot, somehow reminiscent of the series "Assasin's Creed". A real world, which in fact is the arena for selecting the fittest individuals. This, of course, is not an Animus, but there is something similar in this. Although, perhaps, not all will have such an association.
The ending came out a little controversial, although the cliffhanger can not but deserve respect. On the other hand, the atmosphere resembling the Minotaur and the island created by Golding with the children who have suffered a catastrophe is being destroyed. Elements of sai-faia creep imperceptibly, but systematically occupy the entire space. This can be both a plus, and a minus of a picture depending on your tastes.
Running in the labyrinth - this is a very sensible fantastic teenage movie, in the presence of having elements of different genres, an explosive mix, and yet quite entertaining. Try it, there is the possibility of full immersion in this strange world.
