“The Maze Runner: The Death Cure” (*** out of four) was a sweeping final entry in the “Maze Runner” series showing Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) racing around the clock to save civilization and find a cure for a deadly disease known as “The Flare” that is destroying all of mankind. If this doesn’t quite match the breathless momentum of “The Scotch Trials”, it’s better than the first in the series and far better than any of the “Divergent” movies which it has been compared to. Marred by a few lulls here and there but overall an intense and entertaining entry in the series, with stylish direction and production design in a nod to “Blade Runner” and “Mad Max” at times. O’Brien is strong in lead role.
