Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (Wes Ball, 2015)

More of the same in the second instalment of the series, with the kids, having fled their original prison, now seemingly safe with the resistance. Naturally it falls to the weepy hero to suspect everything and lead his friends out when things turn out to be wholly pear-shaped. Then cue a wasteland of zombies, because the first film had already done robots and boxes do have to be ticked off. At this rate, the third will have to do vampires.
You would probably get a lot out of the thrills and set-up if you were an adolescent who'd never seen anything in the dystopian teens-against-the-big-bad-adult-world genre, but it's pretty unimaginative stuff when assessed in grown-up terms.
