Young Adult Sci-Fi turns Young Adult... Zombie


Rented the first Maze Runner while back from Netflix.  It was alright.  Sort of original, but it clearly targeted younger audience.  I'm a fan of Sci-Fi anything, so when it ended on a cliffhanger I was willing to rent the sequel.  I was pleased.  Zombies.  Sort of.

Part II is called "Scorch Trials", and it's A LOT like Resident Evil series with Milla Jovovich.  It's the post-zombie apocalypse world, bad guys with hi-tech facilities & zombies with weird tentacle-things growing out of them.  They were calling these things "Cranks".

  

To me, Scorch Trials qualifies as a zombie flick.  Rent them both, you decide.
